Size: Wearing 6-9 mos and some 6-12 mos clothes, size 3 diapers, and our little peanut weighs 16.6 lbs on our home scale
Eating: Levi started solids at 6 mos old. I am using the Baby Bullet to make all of his food and it's been a fun adventure. The Baby Bullet makes it so easy and I love that I know exactly what he's eating and also saving us a lot of money. He's eaten avocado, peas, green beans, carrots and squash. He prefers some of his veggies mixed with rice cereal, otherwise they are hard for him to get down. His favorites so far are carrots and squash. He eats solids twice a day for right now (I occasionally offer him solids at lunch but he usually does not seem interested) and still nurses or takes a 5 oz bottle of breast milk every 3-3.5 hours (5 times a day). I am very thankful that I've been able to exclusively breastfeed Levi-- it has given me so much joy to sustain my sweet baby with my milk. Truly a gift from God! Levi is is still intolerant to dairy, soy and gluten so I'm still excluding those things from my diet and praying that his sensitivities will begin to subside as he gets older.

| Easy as 1, 2, 3! Cook veggie then puree To desired consistency (I add a little bit of water to puree then add breastmilk to the individual serving later if it needs to be thinned some more) |
 |
Store ready-to-serve food in refrigerator for up to 3 days |
 |
| freeze leftovers (each portion is a serving size) |
 |
| Remove from tray and store frozen purees in freezer safe bag and remove/thaw a serving when you need it! |
Sleeping: He dropped his middle nap which has helped the other naps. He sleeps 10-11 hours at night and takes a 2 hour nap in the morning and a 2 hour nap in the afternoon. He sometimes fights sleep at night and wants to be held but he is always asleep by 8:30 p.m. or before.
Here's his schedule which of course varies depending on when he gets hungry/tired:
7:00/7:30 a.m. wake and nurse
8:00 rice cereal
8:30-10:30 nap #1
10:30 nurse
1:30 nurse
2:30-4:30 nap #2
4:30 nurse
5:30 veggie
7:00 nurse
8:00/8:30 p.m. bed

Likes: Levi is the happiest baby!! He loves smiling and laughing, playing on the floor with his toys, obsessed with Finley, playing with his ducky in the bath, being tickled, singing "Father Abraham" and doing all the hand/foot movements

((Colossians 1:15-17))
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
