Gentle Giant

Thane continues to be such a wonderful little guy. We have been truly blessed to have such a mellow baby. He smiles all of the time and is very social. In fact, he is most content when he is in the same room with the rest of us. When he is around, he prefers to sit up and he often gleefully and very intently adds to the conversation. Below is a photo I took of Thane "talking" a few weeks ago. When he wants to get his point across, he'll often make this look (note the cocked eyebrow) and squeal away at the top of his lungs!


At this age, babies grow so quickly! It's hard to believe that he is over 5 months old. He has grown over 5 inches in that time, and is quickly gaining on Annabel. In the photo below (taken when Thane was 4 1/2 months old and Annabel was 26 months), you can see that he is almost halfway between Annabel's elbow and shoulder. I think that we're going to have a Paul Bunyan on our hands...

Developmentally, Thane is also growing up quickly. He rolls over from his back to front, is starting to teeth (sigh!), can sleep through the night (when he's not teething - BIG SIGH!), and is almost sitting up on his own.

Lastly, Thane seems to like the outdoors as much as Annabel did at his age. That's a good thing, too, because Jordan is already compiling a list of farm chores that Thane will be doing in the not-so-distant future. When asked about violating any child labor laws, Jordan replied that he isn't too worried about getting in trouble as no one would believe that our 5 foot tall "little" boy is only 2!!

Amy, he's sooooo cute! And, oh my goodness, does Annabel look like Kim? Or is it just me?

Miss you! Jill :)

That is a beautiful hat and sweater. As always, thank you so much for sharing the pictures of home and family. I love being able to watch them grow.
