2 months

My little man is two months old already! 
  • He weighs 8lbs 9oz and is 21.5 inches long (I just looked back at Lily's 2 month post and she weighed 8lbs 9oz too. Crazy!)
  • He eats about 4.5 oz of goat milk or breastmilk every three hours during the day.
I'm sure you're wondering about the breastmilk. When Levi was in the hospital, a dear friend of my sister's overnighted a ton of frozen breastmilk for him because all the wonderful antibodies would help him with healing. Then a sweet friend from church offered to pump the extra she has for Levi too! It is such a blessing!

  • Levi has started sucking on his fingers.
  • He takes about 4 naps during the day, and sleeps from about 10:30ish-5:30ish at night. Of course his hospital stay wacked out his good night time sleeping, but we're slowly getting back into our routine.
  • After a rough week in the hospital with RSV, Pneumonia, a kidney infection, and dehydration, he is finally getting back to his happy little self. He still has a lot of congestion and the doctor said it could take awhile for it to completely go away. He's having a procedure tomorrow to check for kidney reflux since babies his age don't usually get kidney infections. It's been so hard to see him sick and having so many medical issues, but God is using the trials to build our faith in great ways. His ways are perfect!
  • Levi is in size 1 diapers and is still wearing newborn size clothes.
  • He usually likes tummy time, and he's rolled over once.
  • He's started smiling alot more.
  • Levi is usually only fussy when he's tired, hungry or needs a diaper change.
  • He loves snuggling!
I just love this little man!
