This past weekend was a beautiful January weekend! So, we spent some time outside on Saturday with little man. We took him down to the neighborhood playground and swung on the swings and explored the jungle gym. 🙂 He seemed so happy to be “playing”!
7 Months
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 …
Sick
That time of year. Everyone has something. Ugh. We have all been a mess since we got home from Christmas. Mike has been the exception – he has stayed pretty healthy through it all. I have had some sort of crud for weeks. Finally feeling better but still not great. Levi has had a persistent cold, an eye infection and now an ear infection (with a much nastier cold!). Needless to say, I am exhausted and very ready to have everyone well again.
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!
