Floor Time and Visitors

Well... we are definitely through the honeymoon period.  William and I are groggy parents of a newborn. It is still going pretty well, but we are coming to realize what Levi's limits are and just how much sleep he needs.  We have discovered that if he isn't back asleep after waking up to eat in less than 45 minutes then we will have a screaming infant for the next 4 hours.  So... we have been making sure that doesn't happen with some enforced nap times around here. Luckily, Levi has taken to a schedule nicely.  He eats like clockwork at 7am, 11am, 3pm, 7pm, 11pm and 3am.  We will let him sleep through his 3am feeding whenever he wants, but obviously right now he still likes eating every four hours.  He currently eats a little over 3 ounces of a breast milk/ forumla mix by bottle.  Yes, by bottle.  I guess you could say that we are abandoning the breast feeding... it just wasn't working for us.  And I'm of the firm belief that this isn't something to stress about.  So we aren't... we are just giving him a bottle.  Learning to take a bottle is a little difficult for a tiny baby... but he's doing well.  He has finally realized that he can stop the flow which makes things a little easier and neater for all involved.

Here are some pictures of Levi enjoying a little floortime and also some visitors... he dressed up especially for them.
