A Ton

So much has happened in the past two weeks with our little, and trying to be big, boy.

First, he hit his Month #2 mark.

Happy 2 months little bubbers!

As you can see, he wants to be more and more of a big boy every day.  Within the past two days he has really improved in his ability to hold his head up.  He's one determined little guy and cries when we make him take a break.  Even though his head is completely drooping forward.

He loves to squeal and squeak now and it makes us laugh.

Sleeping is going a lot better.  He does about 6-7 hours when he first goes down and then is up for a feeding for anywhere between 15-45 minutes and then goes back down for about another 2-3 hours.  I've also discovered in the past two days that he naps a lot better on his tummy.  I put him on the floor next to me and he's out for between 1-2 hours.  It makes my day so much nicer.  And he's more pleasant, too.

We finally fixed our shower drain and so Levi could finally take his first real bath.

He wasn't quite sure what was going on at first.

I think he looks a lot different in this picture because you can't see his hair.

A few weekends ago we had a chance to visit with lots of family.
First, the donor couple, Dave & Kari and their two girls, and the other embryo family, Brooke & Tim and their twin girls and little boy, all came to visit.  Well, we soon realized that our little house was not going to fit 9 extra people.  Especially with Levi's bed time being so early, etc.  Thankfully, our church owns a large house which sits on a property next to the church.  It was perfect for our situation.  If for no other reason than it has a pool.

The following weekend Levi made his first long car ride to see Tim's family in Maryland.  He did ok in the car, but let's just say that he prefers to be moving more than having to stop.  Mommy sat in the back with him for most of the way.  We think he really likes to be around people and it's kinda lonely back there facing backwards.

Tim's sister's family gave Levi a cute blanket and hat set.  With monkeys, of course.

Levi had to wear his crab outfit in Maryland.  Thankfully that was the only crabby thing that day.

There are so many more pictures that we've taken in the past couple of weeks, but this post is long enough, so I'll add them in a separate one.
