April 1

We had our 2 month well baby check-up Monday, Layton now weighs 12 lbs 8 0z (75%) and is 22 3/4 inches tall (50%), our Dr was happy with his growth, personality, and overall well being. He is so full of personality and talkative (for a 9 1/2 week old).We are now working each night on additional tummy time to encourage arm use and pushing his chest off the floor. Layton is starting to sleep longer at night, we consistently go from 8 pm - 3:30 and a few nights he has stretched until 5:00 am! Yeah!!

This weekend we are embarking on our first overnight adventure with Layton. We are heading back to Woodston to visit Grandpa / Grandma and Great-Grandpa / Great-Grandma. It will be the first time since Day 2 Grandpa Larry has seen Layton, he is in for a surprise. Several weeks ago I began "The List" - all the items we would need / want / might need / might want for a weekend away, wow it keeps growing (plus we all know how the weather in KS will change 3-5 times in 1 day!). It might be easier to get Layton is own portable living quarter.

Hopefully we will get to see some friends this weekend at the Pheasants Forever banquet in Stockton, it will be Layton's first "big" outing since the baby shower in February.

More next week on how the first weekend away is and how portable crib sleeping is.
