he rang in month number 8 with an ear infection. but not in the ear he has been rubbing that prompted us to take him in. even the doctor was a little surprised that he had one - no fever, no runny nose, no resistance to having her check, just all smiles. she said that it might have just been delayed from the cold he had a few weeks ago. this is his first one. he weighed 28lbs.
but really i just wanted to post a little about manning...
- he is super ticklish on his chest and neck. he cracks up when we pull his clothes off (not so much when we are getting him dressed).
- he is really getting mobile. most of it is belly to sitting kind of moving. he does hop a little on his knees but no real attempts at actual crawling. i always knew that madelyn did things early but it is amazing looking back as we have had the boys (madelyn - february 2008)
- manning looks a lot like madelyn but is build more like mason.
- he is a chatterbox (where did matt and i get all of these talkers?) - "ma-ma", "da-da", "ni", "ba-ba", "na", "ya-ya", "hi", "ha-ha", "yah"
- he thinks it is hysterical when his brothers cry.
- he and maddux seem to have a pretty special bond. maybe they understand each other.
- he is the only one of the kids at this age who goes down with no books, nursing or crying and wakes up happy most of the time.
manning is a very happy and easy going kid. we really ended with a great one! we can't wait for him to get moving. love.

Funny that he thinks it is hysterical when brothers cry! What do brothers think about that? Earaches are weird - ya just never know. Give him a hug from Papa and Nana. Miss him! (and all of you)
Ah, what a delightful disposition for any baby, and especially for a fourth. I've been around Wyatt a couple of times in the last two weeks. He's got a great disposition, too. You guys need to send your great fourth (or more) baby vibes this way!
