Bro Time

Everyone wants a turn to hold Levi all the time. 

They do a good job being calm and gentle for the most part. Sometimes holding Levi is so exciting that they can’t get themselves calmed down, but the try. 

They want to touch his soft skin and hair constantly. I can’t blame them. It’s all so incredibly soft. 

A Few More Visitors

Fr. Hottovy surprised us with a visit! He prayed so hard for us to throughout my difficult pregnancy, offered words of encouragement, and checked on us frequently when our due date was past. 

He even brought Swiss chocolate...I think a little (or not so little) Burda told him. 

Aunt Beth visited us for a day! She is always so helpful and fun. We had a great day and she got lots of Levi cuddles.

Binki Baby

My goal with my babies is to encourage them to be binki babies. 

Most babies like to be swaddled but I’m not convinced Levi likes it very much. Maybe once we have all the dairy out of his system (and mine) he won’t mind being swaddled. For now, it just makes him fuss. 

But he’s a really good binki baby so far, and I’ve never had a baby like the green binki. He LOVES it, and the stuffy on the end really kicks it up a notch. 

Meeting People

Levi had lots of visitors who were excited to meet him!
