Three weeks old

We are so enjoying having Levi finally here with us. He's a great eater, a pretty good sleeper and Dave and I thought we had this whole parent thing figured out... until this weekend when Levi decided that he wanted to be awake and eating every hour and half... then we realized that our success has little to do with us and everything to do with him! We're learning!

Here's our cool guy getting some sun before his drs appt. They were checking for jaundice, but his levels turned out to be perfectly fine.

He LOVES to be swaddled and Daddy is the best swaddler around. (It must be because he practiced on Hannity all those months ago!) We think he's already changed so much in his 3 short weeks.

Here's my boys watching the Dodger game.
(Don't mind the mess, it's a controlled chaos at this point still!)

Levi also loves his swing! Really, he does!
He was swinging so calmly and peacefully that I grabbed my phone to capture the moment-- and this is what I got! He must've been done with it at this point, but normally it's his favorite.

Here's Daddy trying on Levi's first Dodger hat-- it's a little big!

I'm having a hard time getting out my big camera so all of these are just from my phone but we are trying to capture some of these moments as they happen. It's pretty incredible to think that he's only been here a few short weeks because it seems as though we've loved him forever. Next up, a trip up North to visit family! We'll keep you posted how the big road trip goes...

He has changed so much already! Good luck on the road trip and wedding! Let's hang out when you get back.

Them's some pretty cool shades you got Levi! Can't wait till you get home, so many people have called to ask if they're OK to drop by. I'm thinking you'll be quite busy while in Modesto. Drive safe, see you in a couple days. :-))
Much love, Grandpa Steve

"controlled chaos" that may never change. I still feel like we live that way.
