4 Months



We had our check up and two more shots on Tuesday of this week and he's doing great. He weighs 16 lbs. 10 oz. and is wearing mostly 9 months clothes. He's about ready to grow out of his infant car seat so it looks like he's getting a big boy car seat for Christmas! He seems like such a big boy that sometimes I feel like he should be up and walking already and we have to remind ourselves that he's still little. Recently he's really enjoyed using the exersaucer and fell in LOVE with his bear (thanks Rhonda & Rene!). He's getting pretty good at sitting with our assistance and can even go a few seconds on his own before he topples over. He loves to stand and if we're holding him he wants to be facing out because he wants to see the action. He's super social and has a smile for anyone who gives him some attention. We're so in love with this little guy and he brings so much joy into our home. Can't believe he's been here for 4 months already! 

Usually he's a pretty happy guy but we've had a couple of rough weeks. He hasn't been eating as well, which means he's eating more often, which means he's not sleeping very well, which means that his mommy is TIRED! :) The doctor seems to think that he might be dealing with some reflux issues and put him on a prescription. It's been a few days now and I haven't really noticed an improvement so we might have to go back in and see if there's something else going on. He's just not acting like himself which leads me to believe that he's not feeling great. We'll figure it out but we're still new at this whole parent thing so it might take us a few tries. 

He constantly has those two fingers in his mouth right now so his new nickname is Levi Two-Fingers. :)
Other than that life is good and we're loving being parents. We had a great week at home getting to spend time with family and letting them love on Levi too and we can't wait for all the fun and firsts this next month as we get to spend Christmas as a family of 3!
