baby milestones
I am excited to say we have had a few milestones with Thayne!!! This past weekend he finally sucked on his Binky all on his own-wahoo! That is a big deal for me bc I was getting a back ache from leaning over and holding it in his mouth. Also yesterday Thayne decided he wanted to try and rollover. He is so close but has not completed the rotation just yet...he gets his legs up to his chest and leans to his right side....I swear if he sneezes he will push himself over! I think by the end of the week we will have a video to post. Thayne is trying to be like his buddy Thatcher in AZ who just recently had his 1st roll (congrats Thatcher!-see video on DeMarr blog). It is possible that we will be moving to sizw 2 diapers as well....this kid is a chunker and grows like a weed! He already wears some 6-9 mo clothing and has grown out of all his pj's so we have to go get some more.
I will keep you all posted on my little roly poly!

July
Wow this month has just flown by...and I am so far behind on blogging so bare with me as I try to catch up on all that our little family has been up to. Starting with the 1st of July we all flew out to Utah in order to spend the 4th holiday with my family. Thayne was such a great traveler...he slept on both plane rides there and back!!! He is apparently just like his mom when it comes to traveling...30 min in a car, plane, or boat and he is snoozing.
We spent the 4th weekend in Bear Lake, Idaho where my family owns several cabins lake side. Thanks to Great Aunt Judy for letting us have a bed in the cabin and for allowing us all to make great family memories. Bear Lake is a huge tradition in my family so it was really neat to be able to share it with my own son. Mom and Kent took Thayne on his first four wheeler ride and on his first boat ride...he loved them both. We spent time relaxing on the beach and spending time with all the cousins. The firework show started past his bedtime, so maybe next year he will get to see them, but mom and dad sure enjoyed the show!
The last week of our trip was spent in SLC with the family. We took a trip up Immigration Canyon to Ruth's Diner, and then on Friday we spent the afternoon in Park City walking up and down Main Street. Saturday grandma and the Aunt's put together a beautiful shower/BBQ to show off Thayne to the rest of the family and to the Eakins side. We had a blast swimming in Great G &G's pool and catching up with everyone. It was a great ending to our trip and made it even harder to say goodbye (although I think Grandma took it the hardest!).
Since we have been home we have started right back into our routine. Thayne is doing great and growing like a weed. His recent 2 month check up this past Friday weighed him at 13 lbs and 8 oz and 24.5 inches long. The Doctor has been impressed with his growth and cant wait to see him again at 4 months. Thayne didnt care to much for his first set of shots (neither did mom :( ) but he took them like a champ and then passed right out on the ride home. Thayne once again traveled with us to Myrtle Beach for Nadean and Gene's wedding...it was a short trip but the wedding was beautiful and we had a good time as a family....we will head to the beach again soon.
Brian has been traveling a lot for work and spent last weekend in Indy and this weekend in West Memphis. Pop and Joyce decided to come for a visit and was a huge help to mom....I was actual able to head out for a few hours and join the girls for a bday party in Charlotte (and a glass of wine!!). While in town we took Pop, Joyce and Thayne to the Country club pool for lunch...Thayne is a water baby just like his mom so the next day we decided to head to Target and get a kiddie pool. He loves it!!! He definitely gets spoiled with the grandparents come in town...but that is what grandparents are for!!
I have been getting use to being a mom the last 9 weeks. He is such a good baby it makes it easier...I think I would have a better time if I could stop getting mastitis from breastfeeding. So far I have had 3 infections so it makes it a little frustrating...but the schedule is getting easier with him sleeping close to 7 hrs at a time now so I cant complain to much. Brian and I are trying to decide when I will go back to work and for how long each day....August is going to be a big month with heading back to work and the Outer Banks for our last Summer vacation...I will try to update again before then!
Below are some pictures from the events I talked about...I plan to get my announcements out shortly and will then post a link to the professional pictures we had taken last month for our family photos. Until then love from the Boyle house!

One Month Old
Wow! Where has the time gone....Yesterday our little man turned one month old. He is so precious and has managed to capture my whole heart, even when he is screaming and not sleeping!!! This past month seems like a blur, and I have tried to take it all in and remember every moment since we wont get them back...this Saturday I plan to have pictures taken so we have our first family photo to remember this moment in time.
Things have been going really well, he is eating like a champ and growing every minute. I am not sure how much he weighs but Brian and I both think he is close to 10 lbs+. We officially retired his newborn clothes and are starting to work our way through the 3-6 months. I tried putting his sandals on him the other day but he kicked them right off so we may still wait on wearing shoes (I have been known to make socks disappear so I dont want to chance it with the shoes). Thayne has started to recognize things around him, he even plays with the rattles on his bouncy seat. It has been fun noticing how he reacts to light, and the sounds of our voices-he has even started to "talk" and "coo" which has been fun. The other day he was screaming and I was trying to get him to take a nap-I was getting frustrated (working on no sleep myself) and he just stopped, looked up, and smiled-it cracked me up!!! It also made me realize that God makes them cute bc that is their only self defense.
We look forward to what the next month will bring...we hope one of those things is more sleep!!!

Baptism
This past Saturday we had the pleasure of baptizing our son in the Catholic Church. June 13th 2009 Thayne was baptized at St Michael s Church in Gastonia. We had lots of family and friends come from near and far to share this special day with our little family. The ceremony was beautiful and Thayne was very well behaved...he even enjoyed all the company at our house after wards!
Here are some photos from Thayne's special day!

Just call me...."Mr Lunch Bucket"....
Thayne had his two week check up yesterday and he weighed in at 9lbs 2.5 oz and 22 inches long. So he has grown an inch and is a pound above birth weight and not even 3 weeks old yet....needless to say he is not starving!!! The Dr said he looked like a very happy healthy baby and they will check on him again the end of July. Now Mom is off to get some zzzzz's while the "lunch bucket" is sleeping.

Busy busy Bee...
Well Thayne's second week of life was pretty eventful! Mom was feeling much better so the family decided to head out last Wednesday night to the Gastonia Grizzlies baseball game. The Grizzlies train at our Physical Performance Center, and offer great family entertainment throughout the summer. Thayne slept through the entire game, but we still think he enjoyed it!
Saturday my friend Michelle had a pool/birthday party in Charlotte. We decided to take Thayne out and show him off...he wore probably my favorite outfit to date and was able to sport his cool shades! In my opinion he was the hottest guy at the pool!
Sunday night was bath night and thanks to Grandma DeHart and G.G. Aunt Nancy Thayne has two really cute bath towels. Grandma DeHart gave him the puppy dog one and Aunt Nancy made the yellow ducky....Thayne loves his baths but doesnt like being cold while mom and dad take pictures!!!
This week is set to be a busy one as well as we welcome back family from both sides and prepare for Thayne's baptism on Saturday. Things are going well and we are settling more and more into a schedule-which is nice for us all. I hope to update again soon.
