Today our baby boy is 2 months old! I can't believe it. We went to the doctor this morning. The two adjectives she used were "gorgeous" and "perfect." :) He weighs 9 lbs. 12 oz. and is 22 inches long. He is in the 30th percentile for both height and weight. He has finally graduated to size 1 diapers, but his newborn clothes still fit best.
The doctor heard a heart murmur but said that this type was very common in newborns. She wasn't concerned and just said it was something for us to listen for at his next appointment. Levi also has a clogged tear duct that she said should close up in the next few months. We love Dr. Spellings. We went today with quite a few questions about sleeping, eating, and vaccinations, and she answered most of our questions before we ever had a chance to ask them!
Levi got his first round of shots today. He was ANGRY while he was getting them but slept for almost 4 hours (without me holding him) afterwards.
Levi is on a good routine of eating, playing, and sleeping every 3 hours. He takes good naps- as long as someone is holding him! I am usually up with him 2 times at night- once around 11 or 12 and then again at 3 or 4. He has definitely become a more efficient eater (which I am thankful for!). The biggest problem at night is that I am falling asleep while he eats!
This month we have started seeing his beautiful smile and hearing him beginning to "talk." I have definitely seen a change in his overall mood. You can see evidence of this in the pictures below! His happiest time of day, and my favorite time, is after he eats his first meal in the morning. He smiles and laughs and enjoys looking around. He has especially loved looking at the Christmas tree and lights this month. He will crane his neck to look at the tree while he eats.
I only have a few more weeks at home with Levi before I go back to work, so I am trying to cherish my time with him. I am hoping that he is able to sleep longer stretches at night soon so that I am not completely sleep deprived when January 4th gets here!

He is perfect! Can't wait to see him ( and you and Mat) next week!!
Gran agrees! He is perfect...no surprises there. :)
What a precious baby boy! Can't wait to hold him tonight!
Oh, and I'm awake at 3 or 4 in the morning with Brooke too. Want me to call and keep you awake? ;)
He IS precious! They change so much, so quickly!!
There were times, just a few weeks ago, that I would wake up and wonder how I got back to my own bed, whether or not Brennan was in his crib and how I had gotten from his room to my room without knowing/remembering! Sleep deprivation does crazy things to you! : ) And yet, somehow, I miss those middle of the feedings when we could just snuggle in the peace/quietness of the night...
He's such a sweetie! I can't believe he is already 2 months old! We are ready for you back at school, but I am sure it's going to be tough leaving your little guy. Can't wait to see you Sunday!
He is just precious!!! I know your mom and dad can't wait to get him in their arms again! Such a handsome little one!
Where does the time go? I can't believe he's two months. I'm glad to know he's still in smaller clothes... I have something for him and have been worried I waited too long. Love that smile and can not wait to see him next month (and you guys too:)!
