Levi Update

My little turkey is growing so much! I was just thinking of all the things that are different now than they were a month ago and decided to write down some things about Levi so I would remember.

Levi is a little longer than a pillow now, and is in his 3-6 month clothes. He weighs some where around 12-13 lbs., and is over 100 days old! He loves baths, the blow dryer, and Aveeno soothing lotion. He eats every 2 hours, but can hold off for three if needed.

He loves to stare at himself in mirrors, and smiles much more than he used to. It is not just gas now! When he is tired, his eyes get red rimmed and I can rock him to sleep. He will take 2 hour naps if I lay down with him, but only 10-15 minute naps if I don't stay with him. At night, he has slept once from 11-6,but mostly he wakes up around 3:30 or 4 for a feeding, and then again around 7:30 /8.

He is starting to suck on my arm whenI carry him, and always keeps his head to one side. Iam constantly trying to turn his head the other way, with mixed results. He is an amazing pooper, and you have to change him right away or change him and his clothes. He also has an amazing ability to spit up on every new outfit you put him in.

He is starting to grab at things with his hands, and is learningto kick his feet. He cooes and focuses onyour face, and hates having his nails trimmed. He likes going for walks, and likes to lay tummy to tummy with mommy and daddy. He is starting to move his head around when we hold him upright, and he loves tummy time. He just lays there and doesn't even try to lift his head most of the time.

He hates diaper changes and changing clothes, and looks confused when mommy blows on his belly. He loves being talked to, and loves looking at bright lights. He farts like a high school boy, loud and proud, and you can hear him fill his diaper from 20 yards away.He doesn't cry loudly, usually, and doesn't cry for very long. He does on occasion let out a piercing shriek, but only very rarely. He loves his pacifier, and is starting to pull burp clothes and blankets over his head (ACK!).

He is such a sweetie when others are holding him, and doesn't seem to mind when strangers hold him. He still tells off mommy and daddy if we make him wait for food by making grunting noises at us. He doesn'tmind loud noises whenhe sleeps most of the time, as long as he has heard them before. He is starting to keep sleeping when mommy wakes up and sneaks off somewhere else.

He is such an amazinglittle guy and I am so happy we have him!
