Well his weight gain continues to be a slow process. I thought we were in the clear and then I took him back to the lactation consultant and he only gained 2 or 3 oz in 2 weeks. That was 6 days ago. When I took him to the doctor today he had gained another 4oz in 6 days. So I was super encouraged. I've been supplementing about twice a day to give him more calories and try to get his weight up. The dr and lactation have encouraged me to supplement after every feeding.
This has been a big month for Levs. He's cut his first two teeth (just like his siblings, right at 4 months), he's been rolling like crazy and he's tried rice cereal a couple of times.

(I was super good about taking Gabriella's photo every month...
and poor Levi I'm just now starting at 4 months!)
check out the teefers! :)
First time actually trying rice cereal
(Jordan was helping our neighbor, so I took the picture and fed him at the same time.)
Obviously, he's not really a fan.. ha!
Second time around Jordan fed him and he still didn't like it!
The doctor suggested trying rice cereal to help give Levi more calories, but he's not a fan at all. So we're not pushing it. I'm not in a hurry to get him on solids anyways.
My baby is not a newborn anymore. Makes me sad. I love that fresh out of the womb newborn baby stage, it doesn't last long enough. :( I'm not ready for him to grow up. I love every time he falls asleep while I'm holding him or nursing him, the sweet little coos and gummy smiles.
He's so stinkin' cute!!!
