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!
