one month.

Levi is one month old today.  If only the last month of pregnancy had gone by this fast...

One month old...

In the last month, Levi...
-  has gained approximately 2.5lbs moving from 8lbs 2oz, down to 7lbs 10oz, and up again to a whopping 10lbs 8oz currently (home measurement).
-  has gone through four packs of disposable diapers and countless loads of cloth diapers.
-  has had one insane growth spurt, eating every 1/2-3/4 hours for a few days.  (When does the next one come?  I think I'll need to - mentally - prepare myself...)
-  has gone through almost every bad breastfeeding habit in the book...but we have come out victorious! - and he still gained 2.5 lbs in just over 4 weeks, so I'd say he's doing alright : )
-  has kicked baby acne's butt
-  has met all of his uncles, aunts, grandparents, and cousins
-  has stretched out of his newborn size sleepers and is now comfy in 13lb, 3 month sleepers.
-  has given me one 6 hour break between feeds, one 5.5 hour break, and a few wonderful 5 hour breaks...all at night = awesome. (I love how this actually matters to new moms...)
-  has become a pro at holding his head up with only minimal face plants.  He has been holding his head up since day one and lifting his body weight with his legs since day two.  We sometimes call him Bam-Bam.  You know, the strongest baby ever?
-  has experienced Costco and loved it (who wouldn't?)
-  has learned to spit (spray?) and can get his mommy in the face from a good 12 inches away...twas a lovely way to wake up this morning, by the way
-  Levi's eyes have turned from a murky blue to a deep, dark brown.
-  Levi's smiles have become a daily occurrence.  And he smiles at us sometimes too.

 And because I can never choose just ONE picture...

Scary monkey...

Scary monkey not so scary.  Or Levi just can't help which direction he tips.  One of the two...
