Twas the week beFOUR Christmas...

and our little Levi turned FOUR months old.  Turns out, he's not so little.  Weighing in at a whooping 17 pounds, he's heavier than 90% of all other babies his age.  At least his proportionate though - he's also "taller" than 95% of the other kiddos born in August 2010.

During his third month smiles became more frequent, and there's definitely a belly laugh hiding in there somewhere.  For now it's a big smile mixed with a wheeze when he gets tickled - but if you've ever heard me laugh really hard, I'm definitely a wheezer too.  He has almost rolled from his back to his belly, but he has rolled from belly to back once.

He's a solid size 6 in Carter's brand clothing, and is inching his way into 6-9 month sizes in other brands.  There are some 3-6 outfits that are still holding on for dear life, or should I say dear snap!

Levi is definitely recognizing Herb and I, and if he's fussy with someone else, I'm happy to say, he will usually quiet down as soon as he's in his momma's arms.  There has been a huge influx of drool and chewing on fingers in the last 2 weeks.

Levi welcomed his third cousin into the world on 12/12/10, 2 months to the day that he came home to us.  Amongst all these girl cousins, I think he likes the attention of being the only bruiser boy.

Christmas is just around the corner, and we are excited to celebrate Jesus' birth with our awesome little family of three.
