4 month visit

Lane had his 4 month check up today. No shots yet - he has to go back in a week for those because it had only been 7 weeks since his last ones and they have to be at least 8 weeks apart. His stats from today are:

Weight: 14 lbs, 7 oz
Length: 26.5 inches
Head: 16.25

He is off the charts for his length but is right at the 50th percentile for his weight.

Santa Baby

Lane is 3 months old now! Where has the time gone?? I did a photo shoot the other day with him in his Santa outfit. He looked so cute! He is now rolling from back to front - somewhat continuously - and is chatting up a storm. He is such a happy baby! He sleeps through the night 99.9% of the time and on the off chance that he does get up he's usually just dreamy and when I turn on his aquarium sound machine he drifts right back off!!

I returned back to work on December 2nd - it really wasn't as bad as some people say...the hardest part has been getting back into the routine of going to work 5 days a week and making sure that he has everything he needs for a day at the sitter's!

Here are some pictures that I've taken over the last several days!

2 Month Check Up...

Lane had his 2 month check up on Monday. Here are his stats:

Head: 16
Length: 24.5 (I think he's longer)
Weight: 12 lbs, 12 oz

I can't believe that he's 2 months old already and that it's getting closer to me having to go back to work....where has the time gone?
