Bravo Levi

The past two nights Levi hasn't eaten in the middle of the night... he still wakes up... but no feeding!

This makes Mommy and Daddy VERY happy!

So, Levi, I challenge you to make it three nights... do you accept the challenge? Please say yes!

Update

Just wanted to update and say that William got a call from his Lt. Colonel tonight. His part of the mission has changed a bit. I believe it will be in a good way... He will most likely be on a huge base thus always having communication with home. He will be in a bigger team and a few of his friends will be on it. And best of all with a Lt. Colonel on his team the likelihood of him being in a large amount of danger are slim. These are all answered prayers of mine. William says he will be bored and dealing with red tape... And that's just fine with me. We will send him things to keep him busy.

He is supposed to receive his orders next week. Here's to the rollercoaster!

10 weeks... how did this happen?

Dear Levi,
Today you are 10 weeks old.  How in the world did that happen? You are such an awesome little boy!
This past weekend you had your first hotel stay.  It was very successful.  You proved that you are so go with the flow.  You missed naps, ate off schedule and still slept like a champ.  You weren't fussy at all and giggled up a storm for everyone! I think the family is in love with you.  Today your Aunt Nicole is coming to town to meet you! We are all sooo excited!

In other news, you started sleeping with one arm unswaddled yesterday.  I think you like it. You are also starting to put yourself to sleep (well at least Mommy and Daddy are enforcing this new habit of yours).  We are hoping that soon you won't want to eat in the middle of the night and that we won't have to swaddle you.

Starting Friday your daddy is off work until June 18th.  That's more than a month! We have some big things planned for our family.  First up... your first bay trip this weekend! We got you a life jacket so you can go on the boat!! Yay!

Our Sleeping Beauty!

Holy Moly!

My baby boy is 9 weeks old already! How is this possible?? This week we are working on kicking the 4am feeding.  He also started spacing out his day feeds.  He is staying awake so much more now as well. This last week we went to the doctor. He weighed 11lbs. 8 oz. and was 23" long.  Doctor says he looks great except for his flat head.  He told us to make Levi sleep on his side... but I've deemed it impossible.  Of course, the night I finally gave up putting him on his side he rolled on his side by himself in the middle of the night... go figure. 

Today we went to see a movie.  It was a "Cry Baby" Matinée.  Crying babies welcome. He slept through the whole thing on my chest. 

This weekend we are going on our first trip where he will stay in a hotel.  Here's to hoping that it goes well!! I'm definitely excited!

And here's a little 2 month recap... he's getting so big!

Here is Levi eating lunch with his daddy.  Oh how he loves his daddy!
