5 months

Mr. Levi turned 5 months on Monday, but obviously I haven't blogged all week. What a week this has been. I will save the gory details for another post, but such things as strep and roseola and poison ivy are involved. Ugh!

Anyway... on to better things!

• Levi is healing up quite nicely from his cleft lip surgery! (At least he was until his sister accidentally dropped a toy chair on him tonight and made him bleed in a couple places! So sad!)
• We got to take his arm splints off today. He is one happy little guy!

• He loves being outside. Whether it's stroller rides, watching the dogs (and Lily) play, or just playing on a blanket, he loves it all.
• He weighed 12 lbs the day he had surgery but we think he's grown a little since then.
• He wears 0-3 months clothes. Some 3 month stuff is still too big! Grow boy, grow!! :o)
• You would never know it by his size, but Levi is a little piggy when it comes to eating! He takes a 7 oz bottle every 3 to 3.5 hours during the day. We'll probably start him on avocado once his mouth is completely healed.

• His sleeping has been pretty crazy during his recovery. He's had to sleep in the swing while he wore the splints so we could keep his arms snapped down away from his face. Sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night and I put him in bed with us and he'll go back to sleep. Other times he won't settle down until he eats.
• Levi "talks" and laughs and interacts so well.
• He's rolling and scooting - although he hasn't had much practice the last couple weeks with his splints on.

He's our sweet boy and we love him to pieces!
