two months.

Levi is two months old today.  Time really does speed up once you have kids.  Unbelievable...


There have been many changes in this past month.  Some of which include:
-  the regrowth of Levi's hair...he still has a tufts on the top, back, and sides that never left, but the rest is slowly catching back up.  He doesn't look as much like a balding baby anymore.
-  sleep is almost always a fight.  He always wants to be a part of what's going on (even if we're just home alone and NOTHING is happening).  He's a cat-napper.  The longest nap he's had in the past month (maybe even since the hospital) was 3.5 hours.  I was worried.  Usually his naps are less than an hour...much less.  But, I'll take short naps if he sleeps at night, which he does quite well.  Once we have him down, he'll sleep for 3-5 hours at a time and only be up for 15-20 minutes per feed.  Nice...
-  he's started to enjoy baths this month!  Actually, just in the past week.  YAY!  Hopefully he'll smell like sour milk a little less often now...
-  He's passed the 12lb mark...
-  He's had his first taste of gripe water.  He doesn't like it.  Mommy and Daddy do.
-  He's learned that he can cry in the car.
-  He follows us around the room with his eyes and notices when we leave.
-  Smiles have become quite common.
-  He met his great grandma Reimer.
-  He's found that his fist is the best thing ever for sucking.  We'll often hear slurping and look over to see his fist in his mouth.  He's starting to grab things like our hands/fingers and trying to get them in his mouth as well.  Makes for alot of drool...
-  He had his first road trip that was longer than 1/2 an hour and got to experience Grandpa and Grandma's house!
-  He can hold his head up with only the occasional faceplant.  The faceplant part is new...he's been holding his head up since the beginning.
-  He's found his voice a bit.  He loves to just lay there and coo and gurgle and even squeal in delight at times.  And a few times we think we've even heard a little laugh.

It's so much fun to watch him grow and change every day!
