Eight Months ALREADY?

Sweet Baby Lane,
What a blessing you have been to us the last 8 months. Time will not slow down. I feel like as soon as I type these little letters to you it's already time to do it again. It's simply amazing how fast time is going and how fast you are growing.
What has happened since last month? Well......

• You got your FIRST TOOTH (July 19)
• You are growing faster and faster-size 6 month clothes now and some 9 month clothes
• you are still breastfeed
•  you have moved to stage 2 baby food (chicken and rice, blended fruits with oatmeal, corn and sweet potatoes, apples and blueberries, apricots and mixed fruit, sweet potatoes and apples, chicken and apples)
•  you love puffs (star shaped melt in your mouth snacks) and mum mums (organic rice cakes for babies)
• still LOVE your jumper (daddy has nicked named you "jumpy two fingers" because of your love to jump and you suck your two fingers)
• you moved to your bed at nights for the first time (July 21st)
• love sleeping on your belly with you hiney up in the air. SO CUTE
• you went to your first birthday party (Cousin Nolan's swim party-July 7)
• you can sit up by yourself if momma or daddy sit you there
• you got on your knees (knee rocker) for the first time (July 25)
• you don't really crawl but I guess you could consider it that...you push yourself with your feet and pull yourself with your arms (not really and army crawl but a crawl nonetheless)
• you refuse to lay back in your whale bathtub anymore for baths you sit up and try your hardest to get your hands on whatever is close enough for you to grab

 We are amazed every single day at the new things you do, the babbling sounds you make, the funny looks you give us, and the laughter you bring us. We can't believe another month has come and gone. We still pray for you daily. Pray that you will come to know Jesus at a young age, that you love him with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. We pray for you condition to continue to improve (you go back to the doctor on August 20), that your strawberry will start to go away, that you will grow into a happy, healthy little boy. We are oh so blessed to have you in our lives and can't imagine life without you.
Love you to the moon and back baby Lane.

Love Always and Forever,
Momma & Dada
