Wednesday evening Chad wanted to take Lane swimming in the 12x30 pool his brother Ryan bought. I had bought a baby float he can sit in and he loved the water! His little legs were just a moving and he made lots of happy sounds/giggles. Like everything he was done after about 30 minutes but it was also his bedtime. I was not prepared to take him swimming and did not have any of the little swimmer diapers so I just put him in his swimming trunks, hoping he didn't poop in the water! He did, however, pee on Grandma Vaa'ls couch and on me, the little squirt!
Thursday morning we had a play-date with Andrea Fleck and her little guy Kayden, who is 9 months. At first, they looked at each other like they didn't know what to do. Andrea says she thinks Kayden was confused by all Lane's hair not knowing if he was a puppy or fellow human, haha! It was not but a few minutes and Kayden starting crying, followed by Lane! Not the ideal beginning of a play-date. At their age, however, what more can you expect? They mostly played with toys on their own, occasionally wanting what the other had. However, Andrea and I had a good time catching up and chatting! Thursday evening we headed to my parent's to celebrate my little sister, Staci's, 18th Birthday! We had our traditional strawberry cheescake, yum yum! I can't believe she's already 18 and technically an adult. It doesn't seem possible. I know one of these days I will probably say the same thing about Lane :(
Friday I was on-call in the morning. So at 9 we went to some yard-sales where I found him some winter clothes. I also bought some cloth diapers that day that were on sale on-line. I have thought about giving them a try several times to save money on diapers and every time I change another diaper I think about the landfills. We'll see how it goes, it will be more work but might be worth it!
Saturday night we took him to the Ferdinand Fireman's Ball. We ended up stripping him down to his diaper but he was pretty content watching people pass by and listening to the music. This morning (Sunday) we took him up to see the baby turkey's which came on Wednesday. He really didn't know what to think and stared at them. Chad held one up to him and it started chirping which upset him and he started fussing. Chad then set him in the pen with them and he kicked, looked around and played with the rice hulls but didn't like when Chad brought them close to him. There were rice hulls everywhere; his feet, hands, in his pants and diaper! He got a bath when he got home! The new foods we tried this week were apricots, pears & peaches. I also gave him a half of cheerio and he did well with it. I don't think he liked the apricots because they were pretty tart tasting! He's also figured out how to go forwards in the walker this week which means we really need to work on getting a gate ASAP! He's also good at running into our feet and into Ginger. At one point Friday he was lying on his stomach so I put some toys in front and he reached for them and tried to scoot like an army crawl but it didn't take long before he got upset because it wasn't working for him. He also has been testing his vocal cords lately making loud screams, grunting noises, etc. He's also getting his "fake cough" down pat! He knows it turns mom's head to get her attention! It's funny how smart he already is!
