Getting chubby now!

Its been quite a busy summer here at the Alldredge household. Levi is approaching the eight week mark and has really changed so much since we brought him home. Lately I've realized he's lost his newborn look and is beginning to look like a real, squeezeable, chubby baby. Speaking of chubby, he's now up to ten and half pounds and the last two pounds were put on in just over two weeks time...... can anyone say 'dinner time'! Rebecca still loves baby brother, but has had lots to do this summer, for big kids only. She had a week of VBS, we're in the midst of a week of art and music day camp, and there are several other scheduled playdays at church this summer. Before we know it the season will be gone, and as fun as its been, I won't be sorry to see the heat subside!

Happy 4th from my little firecrackers!

Growing like a weed.....

Yes, Levi is growing like a weed, but for my southern friends I think the expression would mean more if I said he was growing like Kudzu!!! Thursday morning Levi had his five week check up with the doctor. In just 20 days he's gained two full pounds, putting him at 8lb. 10oz. I had been getting concerned that he wasn't getting enough to eat, but my fears have been swept away! He has also grown in height by two and half inches making him 20.5 inches long. He still wears his newborn size clothes and they are fitting great, but I have the next size washed, folded, and ready to go. We had one more set of bloodwork and the doctor has finally decided to stop worrying about his jaundice, its getting better and its not related to a liver problem of any sort so we can now give the poor little guy a break. Getting stuck in the heel every couple weeks is no fun! These are pictures from this weekend. You can really see how much he's grown when you compare these pics of him with his boppy pillow, to the ones from the hospital. :-)
