4 Months

So here's the little guy at three months (more for my record keeping than anything).

Levi - 3 months old

Levi's last two months have been full of lots of changes. He went to the doctor yesterday for his four month check up. He was about two weeks late for that appointment due to our move and the doctor's busy schedule. But we made it and here are his stats:
13 lb. 12 oz. - 25th percentile
25 3/4 inches long - 75th percentile
Levi - 4 months old
Levi gained about 3 1/2 pounds in the past two months, which I think is really good considering how much he spits up. For those of you privileged enough to get to be around Levi, you'll know just how much this can be at times. Sometimes I wonder if he's kept anything down at all, but apparently he's growing despite the puke problem. He's also doing better at sleeping at night. In the beginning, Levi did great and then he seemed to regress. However, he's gone about 6 hours at a time for the last week or so. I'm really looking forward to when he sleeps all the way through the night consistently, but I'll take 6 hours for now.

Some things Levi has been doing lately: He loves to talk and laugh. He and Jacob will sit at the kitchen table (Levi in his bouncy chair) and just laugh at nothing. Jacob can really get him going. I'm not sure either of them knows what they are laughing about, but they enjoy it just the same.

Levi has been rolling over from his tummy to his back, but hasn't yet mastered the back to the tummy roll yet. He can actually sit up a little bit on his own (sorry, no pictures of that yet) and he loves it when you hold his hands and let him jump on your lap.
Two sleepy boys...this doesn't happen often.

Levi took a trip to Canada recently to attend his Great-Grandpa's funeral. He was a champ on the 29 hour drive and the whole week we were in Canada. He slept well, ate well, and was very well behaved. He also learned another new trick:

I can't believe it's already been more than four months since Levi joined our family. We have sure enjoyed getting to know Levi and his super sweet personality. Love you Levi and keep up the good work growing! (Jacob better watch out...Levi will have him in the weight department in no time with the way he's growing!)

Those are too cute pictures of Levi and Levi and Jacob together.

Good luck with the moving in to your new house and getting everything settled there.

They both look so much older! Wanted to let you know Levi beat Joseph in weight. Joseph is 13lbs 2oz and 24 1/2 in. A whole pound and a half smaller than M was at the same age! Also, I put up some recent pics on facebook. Take care!
