Levi at 4 months

 

Today Levi had his four month check up.  I adore my very seasoned pediatrician and the funny comments he makes.  Today he said that he predicts that Levi will be a super athlete with his huge frame and advanced physical developments.  Levi is a whopping 20 pounds at four months and is tall for his age as well.  Despite his extreme weight, he is bearing weight on his legs and can move about the room as he pleases which shocked the doc.  Heavy babies tend to not have the abilities to move as much as Levi.  Only time will tell.  One thing is for sure, that boy is going to eat A LOT. 

For that reason and that fact that I love gardening, I am attempting to learn how to grow a vegetable garden and preserve foods.  Today I preserved twenty of my latest tomatoes by de-skinning and freezing.  It only took a few minutes to put these up for the fall.  I'm planning to make soups, chili, and spaghetti sauce with these!!!



Rub a dub dub-- Three super heros in a tub

My three super powered boys LOVE to take baths together.

 

Here's the big boys playing superheros.  

They are now obsessed with superhero EVERYTHING.

Even Levi enjoys chewing on a super hero now and then.  Mr. Incredible's foot was Levi's chew toy today.  When I took him out of the bathtub, he cried so hard.  He was so sad that I had taken him away from all the fun.

 

Lastly, here is our real superhero, Joel, with the power to dive nose first into a brick fireplace.  Ouch.  You can't see all the gore, but his nose is scratched, swollen, bruised, and possible broken.  I'll ask the doctor tomorrow.

Levi at 3 months--Could he get any more scrumptious???

 Happy quarter of a year, Levi!  It's not fair that my baby is growing up so fast.  We are enjoying this little guy so much.  He is such a great baby and little brother.  He's sleeping 9 hours straight at night.  He cries very little (compared to my other babies).  He's so laid back (I can cut his his fingernails while awake).

He's rolling both from his stomach and back.  He's actually inch worm crawled across the floor.  And he loves to play Baby Monster.  It's the game where Levi steals all the boys' toys. It gets lots of giggles, but I figure it's preparing the big boys for when Levi starts to crawl and really takes all their things. :-)

He's about to move into 9-12 month clothing and size 3 diapers are fitting kind of snug.  He's my little gentle giant baby with lots of buttery rolls.  Delicious!!!
