Yah Growth Spurts!
Well Dane is going through what seems to be the his first big growth spurt. He is feeding constantly and is very fussy. Both Dane and mom seem to be worn out by it...dad is getting pretty tuckered out by it too. Still from what I've read this is completely normal at his current age. Two weeks seems to be one of the common growth spurt points.
Dane also had a great two week doctor's appointment yesterday. He is now up to 9lbs even and Dr. Swords said he is looking healthy and all is well.
Last night the family went and had dinner with the Wolters. Our friends child, Sadie, was very upset when her mother, Lindsey, held Dane. We had some awesome white chili and it was good time spent with friends.
As of this current moment Dane is lying down in his swing, content, and mom is trying to catch a nap to recoup for when he gets hungry again.

Sapp Family Update
Well folks here is the latest of what has been going on with the Sapps. The dogs came home from their Grandma's house 5 days ago. It would appear that Ariel (German Shepherd) is very curious and a bit skittish around Dane while Valkyrie (Black Lab) is jealous to no end.
Dane slept great last night sleeping between 4 to 5 hours in between feedings. Napping however has become a bit touch and go. We have to let him lay in the crib and cry sometimes. It's not that he's not tired it's just that he wants to sleep on us. We are trying to train him to self-sooth as were are trying to follow the BabyWise philosphy, it's been hard on both Tonya and I. His crying tugs on both our heartstrings. It's fine when it's someone elses kids to say, 'just lay him in the crib and let him cry' but when it's your own it's hard. Still Tonya and I have been strong and we haven't given in to him yet. I have no doubt that we will give in every now and again but so far so good. We got a mobile for him today to help him calm down and hopefully curb his long periods of crying.
Tonya and I have watched a lot of CSI:Miami and we watched all of season 8 of Scrubs yesterday. Despite all this the house still seems to get cleaned and laundry is getting done so the Lord has really been blessing us there.
We are all doing great and we appreciate all the prayers and meals you guys have been great. God truely is good and he has blessed us so much with such a wonderful family.
