4 Months!

Levi's Growth Percentiles:

Weight: 14 lbs 0 oz, 40th percentile
Length: 27 inches, 80th percentile
Weight for length: 10th percentile
Head: 90th percentile

His Dr. Appt went very well, he only cried for ten seconds after his shots, until I picked him up.  Everything is looking good except his head came up yet again. I am really wishing we could go back to delivery day and I could say NO to the vacuum! Oh well.  His head is getting too big, too fast and the bump decreasing isn't catching up yet. So she wants us to go to another specialist at Children's.  Of course we couldn't get in until November 23rd, but the appt is scheduled. She also wants us to come back at the end of October to see if it has made any progress.  So this month, we will be doing LOTS of tummy time so his bump can have a break. She also gave us the go ahead to try some cereal with him, I have to say, it is pretty funny! He likes to blow bubbles more than eat :) 


Here he is all tuckered out after the dr appt....


Then when he woke up, we tried some food.....


 

He likes putting it in his mouth and then sucking his thumb ha.  He will get the hang of it soon I am sure!
Then after eating, we had some tummy time.  He is really starting to lift his head now.

 


Nothing else really exciting going on around here.  We have my sister's wedding this weekend so we will all be busy with that.  Levi will be having a sleep over at Grandma and Grandpa's on Saturday. After this weekend, things should start to slow down for us! Thankfully :-) So next Dr Appt with our regular Dr is on October 28th and then with the specialist on Nov 23rd. 


Here is the little man at four months today.....

Adventures with Levi

Well, once again, we have had a very busy month! I sure hope time slows down soon, Levi is getting so big. He is developing his little personality and I love seeing what new things he does everyday. He loves tummy time and he is starting to lift his head to look around now when he is on his tummy. He will follow you all around the room, so he will let you know if he would rather be doing something with you than laying there! It is quite funny. He is starting to like his excosaucer now that he can almost reach the bottom, he likes to be in this for about twenty minutes tops ha.



This past weekend we left for Breezy Point for Grant's cousin Mandy and Tony's wedding. The weather was awesome, a little cold, but nice for sure. Everything up there was beautiful, the scenery, the wedding, everything! Grant got to get out and golf a few times, so he was definitely happy about that. This will be the first summer since I was probably in high school that I did not golf ONCE all summer! Next summer I will have nothing to recover from, so I will get back at it. The ride up was a little long for Levi, so he was pretty tired when we finally got there.



However, it didn't take him long to hear a bunch of new voices so he woke right up!


All the excitement with the new people caused him to wet through his diaper, thankfully we had a new outfit for him. :)


While the guys went golfing, Levi and I went shopping with Grandma, Great Grandma, and Uncle Wade. You can see what Levi thought of shopping, about the same as his dad thinks of it!



And the best part of the weekend, Levi got to go swimming for his first time! I was so excited to bring him to the pool since he loves his baths so much, however, the pool was not nearly as warm as his bath. But, he didn't hate it, didn't love it... Just liked chilling! Hopefully the next pool is a little warmer so he plays and splashes more.

Before

















Hmm... what is going on?






Then Saturday night was the wedding. I didn't take my camera out much at all, it is easy to forget with a baby! This was Levi at the end of the night, he did SO good until he was tired. I hope this isn't what he thinks of weddings, you have one left buddy then you are done until next summer!



Our week has been pretty busy, we got back from Breezy Sunday night and Levi suddenly started teething about an hour before we got home. We finally had to pull over just to hold him for awhile. It was a rough beginning to the week, but he seems to be better now. He is drooling a ton, so I am sure it isn't far from coming through. Thankfully, Tylenol seems to help him when nothing will console him. But just look at his face, how can you not just want to cuddle!




I forgot to mention his baptism was a few weekends ago, and I took NO pictures! So I will have to get them from other people so I can share. Levi has his well check and shots next week and I will update with his stats after that. Then we have my sister's wedding and things should finally start to slow down for us! Levi and I were all ready for the first Vikings game... now if they could just WIN a game!!
