Levi {Five Months}


Levi, you are 5 months old! What have you been up to??

You weigh about 15 lbs, and are wearing 3-6 months and some 6-9 month clothes! I am getting ready to switch you to a size 3 diaper.

You mostly take formula now, but still nurse during the night and usually a couple times thoughout the day. I was really hoping we could have made it longer, but I've learned to not sweat the small stuff. I am thankful that you still nurse some, and I am hoping we can make it to 6 months before weaning you completely. You take Parent's Choice Gentle formula, 4-5 ounces about 4 times a day.

Sleep is about the same. Most of the time, you wake up once during the night. One day this week you slept from 10-8...and boy was I ever greatful! But the big news on the sleep front is that I moved you to your own room this month! I slept in the bed in your room for about a week, but now I have made the big move back to my room and all is well. You are getting so big!



You still have the whole congestion thing going on. I don't know if it's the weather changing back and forth so much, or allergies, or what...but we are all hoping it goes away quickly!

You can roll well both ways, and you are starting to sit up! You are still really wobbly, but are starting to sit for longer and longer periods every day. It won't be long, I bet!

I tried starting you on cereal, and we also tried squash, but you just don't really seem too interested. You spit out more than you swallow, and you seem satisfied without it, so I'm not pushing it.



You now love your jumparoo and exersaucer, but not your bouncy seat so much. But your favorite place to be is in my arms being carried around everywhere I go :)

You have the sweetest little smile, and everyone talks about how happy and sweet and easy you are! You, Mr. Levi, are loved more than you'll ever know!!

Halloween 2011

Halloween has come and gone, and it will be Thanksgiving before we know it, so I thought I'd better post these pictutes!

On Sunday night, before Halloween, we took the kids to trunk-or-treat at Union Baptist. I really enjoyed getting to just visit with everyone while the kiddos ran around and filled their buckets with candy. (Sorry, Brody had to tee-tee in the picture below...lol)



My adorable little lion!




I accidentally left Beckett's pumpkin at home, so he had to carry Levi's. Oops. He was Brobee from Yo Gabba Gabba. Yes, I think the show is weird. But he loves it. And he was thrilled to get to get to dress up as Brobee.

Red Power Ranger! I had so many cute ideas for the boys this year. I wanted to dress the big boys as chefs and Levi as a lobster, or the big boys as football players and Levi as a football, or them as pirates and Levi a parrott. But, as you can see, Brody won that fight. He is a might cute power ranger though :)




Eden, our little strawberry!






On halloween night, we went trick-or-treating with Mom and Brooke. The kids loved it!!!!
