Hey everyone, Layne is 8 months old! We MADE IT TO 8! So this is Layne's update and a lil of mom and dads too. We went to Boston and it was AMAZING! We sat above the bull pen a the Sox game and saw a guy run out on the field and were so close to the guy who got the GRAND SLAM! We missed Layne terribly but he had a most awesome time with his cousins. He was semi-crawling before we left...a lil here and there but when we got back he was full fledge crawling everywhere and now he is a lil speed demon. He is also learning to pull himself up on things. We have also got him eating baby food really well. I bought a macaroni themed pasta one thinking he was gonna love it but he hated it. He loves fruit and anything with fruit in it. He did like peas and carrots but now it seems like fruit is his number one love. We haven't really gotten him any other food because he doesn't seem to like the texture of it yet....yet. Either way it doesn't matter b/c you will be able to tell by the pics that he is not hurtin for food. He sleeps ok. He usually goes to bed by 9ish and wakes up by 7ish and wakes up once a night around 2 a.m. for a bottle. Ehh..he's big. Matt and I are also getting along really well. We have less arguements are starting to really understand each other during the misunderstandings when we are frustrated or when our patience is stretched thin. I think it's b/c we are just so excited to be Layne's parents and we realized that our love made him and we're really proud. We took Layne to Uncle Damien and Josh's house last weekend and while that is one drive that is fierce with a baby he did ok and we had a good time and it was great to let his aunt, uncles and cousin have some time with him. We also got to see Alex skate in a competition and I got great pics and it was awesome! Alex does great and it's amazing he can endure such heat for so long..ha ha! Ok enough of talk..Layne is healthy and in the 95th percentile for height and 20lbs which is a half lb less than the last time we went to the doc. O by the way, Layne had his first ear infection it was small and not soo bad.
O and another thing Layne has his first two front lower teeth!!! Doc says that his gums up top are swollen so he may be getting some more. We are Happy and Well and we hope the same for everyone else.
