Update

You've been doing so much better, Levi.  We no longer have the crazy colic fits that you would throw daily, and for the past few days, you've been sleeping from 10-3, and then about 3:30-6.  I thank you for that sleep!  Last night was a bit tough for you but we managed :)  We used to have you sleeping in your vibrating bouncy chair right on the bed out of desperation because that's all you would sleep in, but then I went on Pinterest and found an article about needing your child crib trained before 3-4 months of age because at that time, they'll want to sleep where they are used to.  SO.  It was time for a change!  You had also been sleeping whenever you wanted and for however long you wanted, and that had to go as well.  So then came the sleep schedule attached to the article I was talking about.

New sleep schedule:

Oh, and it's always the same pattern when waking.  Wake up, diaper, eat, play.

7:00- wake up/diaper/eat/play

8:30-nap

10:00- wake up

11:30- nap

1:00- wake up

2:30- nap

4:00- wake up

5:30- nap

7:00- wake up and try to keep awake as long as possible, and then to bed at 10 pm.  Of course we haven't made it to 10 quite yet, but try our hardest to keep you awake!

You are eating between 3-5 ounces each feeding, but then you had a crazy night last night for Daddy where you drank 8 ounces?!  Crazy!

For you to sleep in the crib I use the music player hanging on the side of the crib and we have the motor that we got as an extra for your vibrating bouncy chair that we stuff under you so you can feel the vibration.  You do really well in your bed...when your pacifier stays in your mouth!!  This is why I dislike crutches so much...every time it falls out of your mouth you wake yourself up searching for it, and then we're awake, and then you get mad because you can't find it...etc.  Makes for a tough night!

All in all, you're getting to be so much happier and more go lucky!  And I have to say...you are SO ADORABLE!!!

 This is a package that we are sending to one of Grace's friends in Utah.  She was diagnosed with a brain tumor (cancer) February 1st and started treatment on Monday.  I've been collecting goods from community members that want to send a little comfort her way :)  Grace drew beautiful pictures all over the box!  And Levi, he's so big!

 What a cute double chin :)

Bubble butt hanging out under the gym.  He absolutely LOVES this thing!

 And what a good boy sleeping in his crib :)

And there's the old Grandpa Levi hanging out in Grace's rocking chair that Grandpa Hildreth made :) What a cutie!!!
