It's 2:42 am on Sunday morning. Levi and I are in the nursery rocking in the rocking chair. Daddy's asleep and is leaving for the Gauntlet tomorrow night (the Gauntlet is our church's youth trip to Daytona, FL). Levi is contentedly nursing, hopefully drifting back to sleep. It occurred to me how quickly time with my little man is going by and that I need to slow down and enjoy these moments instead of rushing through them to the next thing.
Levi is changing daily. It really blows my mind. He's already outgrown his newborn clothes and is filling out the 3 months stuff! He is smiling and cooing all over the place. He loves to be outside or look out the window. He is basically holding his head up all the time now. He takes 2 or 3, 1.5-2 hour naps a day but is still waking up twice a night. Daddy usually takes first shift, me second. Levi just gave me a grin in his sleep. Gah, I love this kid!
Soapy and sweet
Cuddling after bath time!

Just a couple of memorable moments today. Gary is at the Gauntlet so the nugget and I are getting some extra quality time this week! Today I was rocking him to sleep before a nap and before he closed his eyes he just stared at me for what seemed like forever. That's the first time he's really maintained eye contact like that and it was amazing. I could almost see his mind working to familiarize himself with my face and making recognitions.
Bath time has been fun this week! When Levi's little bottom hits the water he tries to lift it out at first, but then he eventually relaxes and seems to enjoy it, despite my awkward holding maneuvers. After he gets squeaky clean, I wrap him up in his adorable hooded towel and we cuddle until he gets warm and dry. He is always so soft and smells so sweet after bath time, it's just the best! I never want these moments to end!
