Lane's First Fourth of July

Dear Lane,
It has been a big month, buddy. You are a CRAWLER!! You started crawling about 2 days after your 8 month birthday. We were pumped, but also a little nervous because we had to scramble to baby-proof! All is well now, but it did take a little adjusting. You love electrical cords, shoes, Lefty's water bowl, and Lefty's food bowl, so we have to keep those things off the ground. It's a constant shuffling of stuff!! You tried lots of new foods this month. You had spaghetti and meatballs (blended in a blender), saltines, sweet potato Puffs, graham crackers, and some others that I am forgetting right now. We went on our first Mommy/Daddy overnight getaway. Nevie and Kent babysat you for the weekend. You were a model baby. They got lots of smiles and coos and you even went straight to bed each night. Kent was the sole babysitter most of the weekend as Nana had to attend her sister's funeral in Duncanville. Kent was a trooper! Great job, Pop! We introduced you to the sippy cup this month, but you are still learning how to do it. The daycare workers told us you were stealing the other baby's sippy cups, so we decided to send one to daycare with you. At your 9 month doctor's appointment, you weighed 19 pounds, 2 ounces and were 28''. Your head circumferance was in the 70th percentile. It was a great month and we can't wait to see what you are up to next!
Know that you are loved, Mommy
