8 1/2 Months!

Some things about Bryce and Laney at 8 1/2 months (developmentally they're considered 5 1/2 months):

Bryce-
*He weighs 15 pounds 9.6 ounces, wears size 3-6 months and diapers size 2.
*He can sit up for a second on his own and tries to stand with just a little help.
*While on his tummy he can balance with one arm and grab a toy with the other hand.
*He can turn from his back to his tummy...but gets his arm pinned under him!
*He absolutely loves the exersaucer...it's his favorite thing to do.
*He's a crazy sleeper and moves from one end of the crib to the other...he can even turn all of the way around.
*We can get him laughing really hard...and he is so ticklish.
*His favorite game is pat-a-cake and he still loves sucking his thumb.

Laney-
*She weighs 10 pounds 13.8 ounces, wears size 0-3 months and diapers size 1-2.
*She's trying to turn over but hasn't made it yet!
*She's very talkative, smiles and laughs quite a bit.
*She constantly makes these funny noises with her mouth that some people call "blowing raspberries". It's the funniest thing!
*She loves singing and any musical toy.
*She really studies toys and seems to be trying to figure out how they work.
*When they play on the floor Bryce can completely entertain her for quite a while! She just stares at him!
*She still sucks her thumb and has very dainty little hands!
*One of the funniest things about her is that she starts crying the second you put on her bib until you give her the bottle!
