Levi is 2 months old!

Yes, yes... My little man is 2 months old! I love comparing the two pictures above... he's really filling out in his face, and look at where his little feet reach to as compared to the previous picture! :) My sweet sweet boy!

He is such a joy, my days are filled with so many smiles because of my two little children! LOVE, that's how  I would describe it.

Levi is now sleeping between 7 to 8 hours at night, and makes a very happy mommy. He is on about a 3 to 3 1/2 hour schedule during the day. He is a good eater! He also gives mommy tons of smiles and coos during the day. When Madilyn comes into the room, he looks for her and smiles at her. She can get some pretty BIG smiles out of him! She is such a nurturer too.  She just loves on him, and when he fusses, she tries to console him and make him smile. She's such a sweet big sister! She does keep me busy though! As soon as I sit down to feed him she has to go to the bathroom, or needs a snack, or something pertinent. The other day (thank GOD John was home!) JUST as I sat down to feed Levi, she decided she wanted to go back downstairs... and on the 3rd to the bottom step she slipped and fell the rest of the way down. We have wooden stairs, with wood floors at the bottom, and since we moved in it's been my biggest fear that she would fall down the stairs when I wouldn't be there to quickly do something about it. I heard her fall and cry and I screamed for John... luckily he was there and had already responded... poor Levi, he did not understand what was going on, and I scared him pretty good! :( Luckily it was just a large bump on her head and a couple bruises... so glad it was towards the bottom of the stairs, and not the whole way!

I have found with Levi that I am such a softy! I hold him and console him WAY more than I did with Madilyn. I am a bit more relaxed with things also. I think that's what happens with your second child... you are a bit more mellow. He's such a snuggler too... and that bottom lip, man, what's a mommy supposed to do when he sticks it out looking all pitiful??!! ;)

Well, I am making my freezer meals today... hope it will last for the next month! 

God bless!!

6 weeks

Yesterday, 11/30/11, Levi was 6 weeks old! He's really filling out, and becoming such a cute and sweet baby! He's starting to smile and coo at his mommy, which TOTALLY makes my ENTIRE day!!! :) Right now he's sleeping in a bassinet in our room, and so I have a changing pad on our bathroom counter. When I set him on the pad, he turns and looks in the mirror and just smiles and coos at me in the mirror. *melt*!
So, we had his 6 week appt. today at the doctors, and I showed up completely expecting for it to be a quick visit and to come back @ 8 weeks for his shots... nope... he got his shots today! I was completely unprepared! Emotionally and physically (as in, I forgot to bring/give him tylenol before the visit). I cried as he got his shots... poor thing! He has some skin issues, like Madilyn did. I hope it doesn't get bad like hers did! He has horrible cradle cap, a rash on the lower part of his face, and an awful diaper rash that I can't get rid of. I have tried so many different creams, it's insane. The doctor gave me a couple of other ideas to try... so hopefully they work!
Levi was 10 lbs and 6 oz., 22 1/4" long, and his head was 15 1/4 " around. He was all within 65 to 75th percentile. I looked it up, and Madilyn was 10 lbs 8oz at her 8 week appt., so he's a bit ahead of her. :)
He's a bit fussy today, and isn't eating quite normally... and he's definitely more sleepy than usual! we'll have to take it easy for the next 24 hours for the poor little guy.
Well... that's it for now!
