Levi {Three Months}

Levi - you are three months old!!! What have you been up to??

I am not sure on your exact weight, but I am guessing around 14 lbs. You are wearing some 0-3 month clothes, and starting to fit into some 3-6 month. I can't believe I am already putting away so many tiny little outfits that you have already outgrown. Slow down sweet boy!

You just moved up to a size 2 diaper.

You are still breastfeeding and that's going pretty well. You have become such a nosy little thing, and want to watch everything your brothers are doing, so you get distracted easily while you are trying to eat. That's been our biggest problem lately. You take a bottle of pumped milk occasionally when we are out and about, and you take them just fine. You also had your very first taste of formula this week. I am afraid that I am not going to have enough millk pumped for when we leave you for a few days next month, and I feel like they are going to have to supplement some. So, I am going to give you a tiny bit here and there just to make sure you take it ok. Definately not something I want to make a habit of, but it will be nice to know you can tolerate it ok if you need to.

Your spit up problem has improved dramatically!! It's only maybe once a week now...and that makes me a very happy mama.

You still love to have your diaper changed and your clothes changed. I continue to thank God every day for the happy easygoing baby that you are. You made adjusting to three kids a breeze!

You will take your paci sometimes, but you have recently discovered that you LOVE your fingers. We frequently find you sleeping with with either your thumb or you fingers in your mouth. I think it is so cute.Sleep. Let's see. Your sleep pattern has been a little off lately. Some nights you sleep from 10-6. Some nights (like last night) you wake up to nurse at 1 and 4 and 6. Some nights you still put yourself to sleep. Some nights (like last night) you want to be laying in the bed beside me before you will go to sleep. You will figure it all out, though. No worries.

You still sleep in your little cradle beside our bed. For naps, I have been letting you sleep in your crib so that you get used to it. You do fine in either place.

I have been letting you play under your activity mats more, and you have been grabbing at your toys for about a week now. It's amazing to watch you grow and change and learn new things.

You smile ALL THE TIME, and you started laughing out loud last week too!! It is the most precious sound to me!

We did start using the Selsun Blue shampoo for your cradle cap, and it helped tremendously. You really enjoy getting your hair washed, thank goodness.

You did great on your first long car trip. I took you and your brothers to spend the weekend with friends in north Arkansas. We stopped to nurse twice, but you slept most of the way!

You rolled from your belly to your back for the first time a few days ago! I'm pretty sure it was just an accident, because it hasn't happened again, but it was still fun to see you do it! I made such a big deal about it, that Beckett started saying, "Watch Betett!!" And he would roll on the floor wanting me to clap for him. So precious.

Happy 3 months sweet boy! We love you bunches!
