Levi's "Christening"

Yesterday Levi and I were on the go most of the day. We got up and got ready so we could meet Mike for lunch at his work. It was soooo much fun to show Levi off, everyone at Mike's work is so nice and they all doted on Levi, that made me super happy. Mike just got promoted to Sales Manager at his company on Monday and I am SOOOOOO PROUD of him! So he got to change desks and now has a real office with a door and everything. So of course while we were visiting Levi had a giant poop and we had to figure out how to change his diaper in Mike's office. We put Levi on one of the guest chairs in his office and I sat on Mike's rolling chair and proceeded to change Levi's diaper. Mike held the dirty diaper for me while I wiped and put the soiled wipes in the dirty diaper. Wouldn't you know that Levi decided to keep pooping once the diaper was off. Mike and I were scrambling to keep the poop on the wipe and off the furniture and my hands. It was HILARIOUS! I was crying I was laughing so hard. And all this time Mike is now holding the dirty diaper literally in my face, he didn't realize it because he was so focused on poop not getting everywhere. He and I had quite a laugh and as Mike said, Levi christened his office.

After visiting Mike Levi and I returned the birth pool (finally!) to the lady we rented it from and then we hit Target. I wanted to get a Bumbo chair for Levi because he can hold his neck up and I am tired of propping him up with pillows and worrying that he'll fall over. When I saw the price of the Bumbo I was a little disappointed. It costs $38 and it is just a chair, no snack tray, no activity panel. Just a chair. I kept looking around and found a SuperSeat, it is the same chair but comes with a snack tray, activity panel, and can be transitioned into a booster seat for Levi to sit in a regular chair at the dinner table. Score! And it was only $7 more, double score!

After getting home I was sure Levi would pass out for at least a few hours since we had been on the go all day and he hadn't napped at all. But alas, he was not on board with taking a nap. He wasn't fussy, he just didn't want to sleep. When a 7 (almost 8) week old doesn't sleep you really can't do much but keep an eye on him. I attempted to clean and cook but it wasn't very easy because I had to keep checking on him and making sure he was entertained, etc. Finally I decided to take him with me on my nightly walk that I go on with my BFF Teresa. Also Mike wasn't going to be home til after 8PM because he got his haircut. So as soon as I got Levi in the stroller he passed out. Perfect. I walked with Teresa and he slept, for a little while. He woke up while we were walking but he was calm and not fussy so it didn't interfere with my exercise. But holy cow, the kid didn't sleep all day! Maybe 30 minutes at a time a few times throughout the day. So we got home and had Mike work his Daddy magic and put Levi to sleep on the front porch swing. And Levi fell asleep and stayed alsleep for 9 hours!!!!!!!!! Holy Sh*t!! That is the longest he has ever slept, I actually woke up throughout the night certain that he had stopped breathing because there was no way he could sleep that long. Yeah, he slept that long and I am so well rested today, oh man. I just hope this is his new and permanent sleep pattern.

And I am glad I got a lot of sleep because we are driving to the beach tonight and will be on the road til about 1AM so now I can stay up without much difficulty. We are bringing Bailey and LEvi, Evie is with her Dad in New Jersey. And we are bringing our BFFs Teresa, Greg, and their daughter Mackenzie who is Bailey's BFF. It should be super fun! Thanks for Mike's parents for letting us bring our friends!
