One Month

Levi Daniel is one month old!
(Ok, so as of today he's actually 5 weeks and two days old but we were out of town so let's pretend.)

Our little guy is growing growing growing and, I'm no expert but, I'm pretty sure it's because he loves to eat eat eat! We took him for a check up and he's officially 10 lbs (75 percentile) and, they didn't measure him this time but, the doctor thinks that he's off the charts in height. She said it's a great thing because he has to grow into those huge hands and feet! It's hard to believe that he's already been with us for an entire month. We love him so much and we're learning more about him every day.

I know one month isn't that long of a time but here are a few of Levi's favorite things so far:

Hanging out with dad. Whenever. Where ever. Especially on his chest. Too. Stinkin'. Cute.

All his awesome clothes!
(Ok, this might be more of a mom thing but how cute is his little baseball booty?!)


His best friend Hannity.

Playing!
He loves making faces, smiling, when we sing silly songs, tummy time and he recently found himself in mirrors and likes to talk back.

Month one was split between his newborn-sleep-all-the-time stage and then a couple of fussy weeks where he didn't want to be put down during the day. We're learning to read his sleepy signs and think we may have been overstimulating him so he couldn't drift off to sleep. We've since changed some of our tactics and think we've turned a corner into official nap times during the day. Hallelujah! We're still eating every 2 1/2 to 3 hours during the day but at night we stretch it out to 3 1/2 to 4 hours. He's definitely growing and we're definitely learning! We love this guy so much and can't believe that we're already on our way to month #2.

He's so cute! Love all the pics. And yes, he does have some adorable outfits. Way to go in being able to read his signals and adjust accordingly!
