Likes: his stuffed baby turtle. He could care less about the mama turtle with all her bells and whistles but the plain baby turtle...oh how he loves it! The loaned to us IKEA dangling toy bar thingy. Stealing my cup and chewing on the straw. Perhaps a straw cup of his very own should be purchased. Perhaps.
Dislikes: Diaper changes. He doesn't mind the fresh diaper but the laying still part is like torture! Basically changing his diaper is the equivalent of a mama-baby wrestling match. Most of the time I win. But just barely!
Eating baby food. The first couple bites were GREAT! (Pictured below) But it's been all down hill since then...he acts as though we are trying to poison him. Which would be funny if it weren't so frustrating!
This crabby teething phase has me thinking. That normally Levi is such a happy baby. He is what you would describe as an "easy baby". He smiles often. Laughs easily. And just rolls with the flow. He goes to other people happily. He stil naps virtually anywhere as long as he has his pacifier and doggy blanket. I'm so thankful for his good natured disposition. He is definitely a good baby to end my baby phase with. My happy little hip riding companion.
Quirks and Habits: Crying, fussing, drooling and clinging to me. Day and night. Poor guy has a couple teeth coming in...and it's not going so well. (See week 28 picture above.) He is just MAD at life.
When he isn't chewing on frozen toys or fussing, he spends quite a bit of time sitting up like the big boy he is!
Babbling constantly. Lots of bababababa. A little dadadada. And I swear ONLY when he is upset he says mamamama! What a stinker.
Lounging on the beach at sunset taking adorable pictures...
Ok. That one really isn't much of a habit as it only happened once. But oh my goodness...how cute is that picture?! Too cute.
Reasons why I am currently smitten with him...
My beach buddy:)
Hi bear! I'm sitting here with Lincoln just thinking about my Joe not getting home until late for the third time this week and your phrase "the days are long but the years are short" came to mind and I thought I'd check out your blog. I had to laugh when I read this one about Levi, because I SWEAR Lincoln only says mamama when he's upset or wants attention. I love reading your other posts as well, and I'm surprised you've been able to find time to write for so long! I think you're amazing, so try not to be so hard on yourself : )
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words. I appreciate them more than you'll ever know. I've been trying to kind to myself and now I feel ready to invest in this blog again.
