Somehow we skipped 6 months – guess we were too busy with Christmas and all! Levi turned 7 months on Friday. We were back at the doctor’s office due to a lingering ear infection so we got a new weight – 22 lbs!! He is a BIG boy! He has started smiling and laughing a lot at our facial expressions. He has also started to squeal when he is super happy! He is eating solids but are a very picky eater thus far. All Levi likes at the moment are sweet potatoes, bananas and applesauce. Levi is trying to figure …

First Christmas
We traveled to MD for a week to visit with family and friends. Here are some pictures of Levi’s first Christmas!
Food!
Food has been a challenge with Levi from the start. Don’t get me wrong – the kid loves to eat. Unfortunately, he has reflux which has made the process of eating very frustrating for him. He also lacks patience which made breastfeeding a nightmare. Recently we switched him to a hypoallergenic formula – Nutramigen – in hopes that it would solve his constant fussiness. We have been using it for 5 days so far and it does seem to be making a difference. Yay! As for solids, we have been trying them for about a month now with very minimal luck. The …
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving was very low-key this year. We stayed home since we had traveled the whole eastern seaboard in September and October. It was lovely to not have to travel! We were especially glad because Little Man got his first cold right before Thanksgiving (which has now turned into croup and an ear infection….). Here is a very unhappy and sick Levi on his first Thanksgiving. 🙂 My sister came to visit and we had our friends Brian & Lindsay and their little guy over for dinner. It was a team effort for dinner – way to take the pressure …
5 Months
Time is flying – although some days it definitely doesn’t feel like it! Our little boy is 5 months old now! He is working on sitting up and rolling over but still has yet to do either. He is “talking” a lot now and is so much fun to interact with. He really does not like tummy time and will roll right off his stomach and onto his back. We went to the doctor just a few days ago for a reflux check and Levi weighed 17 lbs 4 oz. Big boy! Mommy got a new camera the other week …
Baby’s First Halloween!
This past weekend, exactly one year ago, we found out we were pregnant! I was also still hobbling around recovering from my disastrous injury. This year we have a very active and healthy 4 month old that got dressed up as a penguin – thanks to Aunt Sarah! It is amazing to see all that has changed in a year! This past week we also broke out the jumperoo (thanks Aunt Erin!). It is safe to say that Levi LOVES it! He was a little confused at first but once he figured out that he was supposed to jump …
4 Months!
I can’t believe how delinquent I have been on updating our blog! I got on here to post Levi’s 4 month picture and realized I haven’t posted anything since his 3 month picture! Will try and get better. 🙂 We have had a busy month full of traveling. We traveled up to Pittsburgh for my dear friend Jenna’s wedding and then down to MD to visit with the family for a week. Home now until Christmas. Whew!Levi goes to the doctor tomorrow so we’ll find out how big he has gotten – my guess – 16 lbs! We’ll see!
3 Months!
Levi turned 3 months this week!
Vacay at the Outer Banks
This past week we took a week long vacation with friends to the Outer Banks. Vacation with a almost 3 month old isn’t exactly relaxing but we had a good time nontheless. 🙂 The week started out a little rocky but once we figured out how to get little Levi to sleep (& momma too!) we were pretty good for the rest of the week. Despite baby woes, the beach was wonderful and we had a great time with our good friends. We are looking forward to next year’s trip when Levi will be big and playing in the sand! …
Road Trip!
Way back last spring my dear friend, Jenna, asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. I, of course, said yes – couldn’t wait! A few months later we learned that we were pregnant and we would have a little one in tow for all of her wedding festivities. September has come – so hard to believe! – and we made our first of two trips to Pittsburgh this past weekend. This trip was for her shower and we will return in a month for the wedding! We also stopped over in East Liverpool to visit my family. Levi …
