Dear Levi,
You are six weeks old today! Wow! I can hardly remember what life was like six weeks ago. You had a good week this week. You liked that every day you got to see your daddy in the evening. You have started to fall into a fairly predictable routine, with the exception of a few blips here and there. Still no sign of dropping the 3am feeding, but I'll let you hold on to it for two more weeks. Your grandma came into town on Thursday evening and we took you to the doctor bright and early on Friday morning. You weighed 10lbs. 8oz. and were 22 inches long... so far you've gained 2lbs. 7 oz. and have grown 1 1/4 inches. You are a big boy!! This week you also went shopping at the Galleria with "Aunt" Jenn and then shopping at Northpark with Grandma. In both cases we decided Nordstrom is by far the best place to feed a baby in a mall... very classy :) You celebrated your first Easter by crying most of the morning due to a two day moratorium you had on napping. I really don't suggest you try that again. It makes you very crabby. Today daddy and I went to set up your college fund. But I'm going to have to ask everyone reading this not to tell you it exists... because we aren't planning on telling you until you are at least 25 years old. When you decide what you want to do with your life... then you can have the money :) You started smiling this week for REAL. I mean a real social smile... not just smiling while you are sleeping. You should see the antics I pull trying to make you smile. So far, you just do it on your own terms. Also today we went to our "First Moms" group. It was fun to connect with a few women and babies and I can't wait to meet some more wonderful ladies! You met a pretty girl named Caitlin two weeks older than you... you can marry her if you want... but remember she's an older woman.
Can't wait to see what next week brings! I'm hoping and praying it's 6-8 hours of sleep straight :)
Love,
Your Mommy
During this week's photo shoot, we had a little bit of an issue...
Levi kept giving us this face...
And this face... And mom knows what that face means...
So we laid him down on the floor...
Because he likes to "do his business" lying flat on his back.
And then Daddy got to change his diaper!
(In this picture Daddy is telling him he stinks... and boy did he)
Then he took these pictures... He was very happy :)
Watch me try to eat my hand!
Hey you, I'm looking at YOU!
Smiles!
And I'm bored...
Levi and Daddy staring each other down!
