3 months

My baby boy is 3 months old! He is growing and developing into a little man so fast. He continues to talk more and more and in the last few days I have gotten a few laughs out of him. He is so close to rolling over, he gets up on his side and thats all the further he makes it. He is also staring to grab at toys and put them in his mouth. He enjoys being outside and taking walks. He loves the bath, but hates getting out. ( I feel like I am filling out his dating profile ) He is also getting better at sitting in his bumbo, as you can see in the picture below. At the beginning of the month he was sleeping 8 hours, now he sleeps 11 hours, usually from 8-7. He is just starting to stay awake longer between naps, usually up 1 1/2 hours and then naps for 3 hours. He takes a big morning and afternoon nap and about an hour nap in the late evening, but he is usually pretty restless for the evening nap and does not sleep for long or well. He still drinks about 6 oz. sometimes 7-8 oz (usually right when he wakes up and just before bed). Can't wait to see how he grow and develops in the next month. I LOVE my Levi! ( and my other boys too! :))

Levi and Me- 3 month Picture

So, what do ya think? I know its different camera angles, but I think that he looks a lot like me. We are both 3 months old here. I wish he was smiling a little then he would look even more like me. I posted the rest of his photos on facebook and most of you who read this are also my friends and you can check them out there.

1 Down...19 To Go

Your probally wondering what this post is about. Well Riley finally lost his first tooth at the age of 6 years ( and 4 months to be exact) It has been loose for awhile along with the one next to it. Then a few days ago he bit on a block and it started to bleed. Over a few days and a little encouraging, he finally let me pull it out. He put it under his pillow for the tooth fairy, so she can bring him some money. He then asked me where she gets her money. I paused uncomfortably and thought for a second trying to think of an answer and quickly told him that she had a job. He was happy with that answer and no other questions were asked. Whew!
I was looking online about how many teeth a human has when I was trying to think of a good title for this post. Children have 20 teeth ( I even went upstairs where Riley was in bed to count his teeth- they were right) and adults have 32 ( 4 of which are your wisdom teeth- if you have them, so I only have 28, and yes I counted my teeth too, and yes they were right again)
So, Riley was really apprehensive about pulling out his tooth b/c it hurt, but once it was out I think he was happy and more excited to get some money. I asked him how much he thought she would bring, his response was $5.00 - I don't think so, the "tooth fairy" would go broke. Here is a pick of his new smile and the tooth he lost.

Its hard to see b/c its so tiny, but here is his first tooth that he lost

Levi's Baptism

Levi was baptized today. He was 11 weeks old, a little bit later than I did with the other two, but this worked best b/c it was a holiday weekend and John was home otherwise he usually leaves on Sunday. His outfit barely fit him, but I was not about to buy another one + the other boys wore it too, so I wanted him too also. He did really good- no crying and his brothers did well up there too. I will admit I was nervous b/c Carter can have a temper and when he does not want to do something and he will make it known and Riley can be very "active" he has a hard time being still, but in the end I had nothing to worry about. Afterward we had all the family over and cooked burgers/hotdogs and had a good time with family and friends on such a beautiful day. We could'nt have asked for a better day.





Levi and his momma

Levi and his daddy. Levi was to busy looking at his brother, Riley.

Levi in his baptism outfit. All three boys wore this. It was a little tight on him b/c he was baptized about a month older than the other two boys.( I was tight on Carter too, but he was just a big boy :)

His cake-it was yummy!

Levi's 2 Month Stats

Levi had his 2 month appt. today. He is healthy and doing all the developmental stuff that he should. He also had to get 3 shots and one oral medicine. Only one nurse did it this time, usually they have two, so its done quicker, less pain....poor guy, he screamed, can't blame him :( He got some Tylenol and is now napping. He is also one chubby baby!! Here are his stats.....

Height : 24.5" (90%)
Weight : 15 lbs 4 oz (97%)
not sure what his head measured at, but its in proportion to the rest of his body.

He is taking after Carter is body size. Carter was the same height at this age and weighed 4 more ounces. Riley on the other hand continues to be my little guy. At this age he was only 23" and 13 lbs. 6 oz. Riley did not weigh what Levi and Carter did at this age until 4 months. Oh well they are all different and I love them all!!

Levi also started to sleep through the night at 8 weeks. He went 8 hours the first night and now he still sleeps about the same length of time it just varies when he goes down at night. Then he usually goes back to sleep for another 3-4 hours until its feeding time again. Last night he slept from 9-7. YEAH!! So glad that those sleepless nights are behind me for the most part.
