May notables - Levi

My little Levi is already 3 months old. I am having a very hard time with how fast he is growing and changing. He is so much fun. Charlie has always liked him but in the past couple of weeks they have really started to interact with each other. You can tell Levi is crazy about Charlie. Charlie is starting to try to pick him up and wants to help do everything with him so we have to keep our eyes on them at all times. 

Bathroom scale says 16+lbs. Wearing 3-6 month clothes.

The brother pics are where you can really see how much he has grown!

 

 This month Levi got to attend State FFA Convention with mom for a day. One of the kids took this picture of Levi in the Moby, we're down bossing kids around. The second picture was Levi's general feelings about convention. He did a great job & only had one minor freak out while sitting in traffic on the way home which was a good lesson for the rest of the van!

Levi is a perfect baby. He rarely cries. Even in the morning he wakes up and just grunts waiting for someone to pick him up. He is very easy to read & figure out what he wants, which is to eat or sleep. When we give him his blanket it takes him less than a minute to fall asleep, any time & any where.

While we were playing on the floor the other night, Levi rolled over from tummy to back twice. It wasn't an accident because he didn't seem surprised. This is exciting except I know that soon he will roll the other way. This will put an end to our swaddling & I have a feeling it will change his fabulous sleeping patterns. He has been sleeping through the night for a month now (from 9pm-6am) swaddled up. The only nights he has woken up were nights he got out of the wrap & he has went right back to sleep after being rewrapped. I fear when he outgrows the swaddle because this mama is definitely enjoying the excellent sleep. He is still in the bassinet but needs to move up to the crib because 1.) he's getting too big and 2.) he snores and it's LOUD! Mama thinks he can stay in the bassinet & be a baby forever.

Levi likes anyone who will give him attention. He is always smiling, laughing & interacting. He doesn't like sitting in the swing while we eat supper, he wants to have a front row seat to the dinner & a show Charlie puts on.

He has been doing good at daycare the few days he's been there. When he is there he is taking 3 bottles & then nursing at home 3 times a day unless he is too busy sleeping. Unlike newborn Charlie's daily explosive poos, Levi only goes a few times a week which I find very unusual but don't mind!

Since big brother is always on the run & we only have a single seater stroller, Levi spends time in the Moby or the Ergo. Here he is not even strapped into the Ergo, but oh well. It's an efficient way to chase Charlie. He loves being in a carrier & it is comfortable for me to carry him. Just today I had a successful solo excursion with Levi in the Moby & Charlie in the stroller at the mall.
