One Month Old!

Our little Levi-man is one month old! 

He has been the sweetest addition to our family and I am totally in love!

LEVI at 1 month:

~Has a ticklish bottom lip and ticking it is the easiest way to get him to smile!

~Has horrible baby acne, just like his sister.

~May have a bit of a red tinge to his hair.  Its hard to tell with his hair being so blond and fine, but every once in a while I catch a glimpse of red...

~Is a GREAT sleeper!  He naps and goes to bed like a pro--no day/night confusion here! (knock on wood...)

~Eats like a champ and has since he was born, minus the few days after my milk came in...

~AND he takes a bottle!  Wahoo!

~Has the cutest little old man cough, which is usually followed up by a sweet little coo.

~Is officially out of newborn clothes and into 0-3 months.  I am preparing myself to be the shortest person in the family!

~Rarely spits up.  The amount of laundry I have to wash for him is significantly less then what I had to wash for Grace and for that I'm thankful.

~Is sleeping through the night!?!  I can hardly believe it.  He'll get really wiggly around 4 am, but has not been waking up enough to request a meal.  Mommy guilt makes me wonder if I need to feed him then, whether he asks or not, but the past two nights he's gone 10 hours between feedings and seems fine!  Hurray!

"Stick with me kid, and you'll be fine."

 Big sister adores him and he seems pretty smitten by her, too.  Its pretty cute to watch him perk up when she's nearby, trying to catch a glimpse.  She loves to mommy him--I have to watch her to make sure she doesn't smother him with her love.

Henry

We had the chance to visit my sister, nephew Patrick and new baby Henry, who was born 5 days after Levi.  (yes, 5 days.  We're a little crazy.)  It was so much fun!  The toddlers had a grand time playing together and I loved getting to know Henry.  He's a handsome little guy--dark eyes, dark hair and a darker complexion; the complete opposite of our light skinned, blond haired, blue eyed (for now) little man!  It was a really fun trip-the only thing missing was my Bro-in-law, who's currently serving in Afghanistan.  Hurry home Nathan, we miss you!
