Our breastfeeding journey has come to an end

Well, I lasted almost 7 months to the day breastfeeding Levi. I'm very proud to have lasted that long as there were many times I was ready to throw it all in but I'm glad I peservered now. It's such a special thing to experience and I'm going to miss it but I knew it was coming to end soon. Levi just wasn't as interested as he used to be and I felt like my milk supply was dwindling away. The ending point was a few days ago when I got sick and had to start taking medication that wasn't safe for Levi so I had to give it up.

Levi's been fine with his bottles. He can't get enough of them! He's on three solid feeds a day (plus a few snacks here and there) and three bottles. He's such a little garbage guts. I suppose he thinks he has to eat quickly before his brother gets in!

levi's first day of day care

My littlest man is growing up! His first day of day care was today and they said he had a wonderful time. I missed him like mad! I shed a little tear when I left him there (not as many as Harley's first day though - I was a mess!) but the day went so fast and them they were both home again. He did so well for his first day and they said how much like Harley he is which I really can't see but then I look at both of them all the time!

I can't believe how fast these boys are growing up. I know I keep saying that but it's really something I can't get my head around. One moment they're newborns and the next they're walking around! Slow down already!

Testing 123

Just worked out how to blog
from my iPhone. How exciting! It's about time I updated so I'll get onto that soon. Now I don't have an excuse not to. :)

Here's a pic just because...

a little facelift

For the blog, not me (I wish!). I'm making a few small changes here and there to update the site so if you'd like me to add a link to your blog/website, let me know. (My blog gets a little traffic from all over the world as I have some digital scrapbooking freebies on here.)

Sleep, sleep, where for art thou sleep

Sleep glorious sleep. It's something we take for granted when we can get plenty of it. It's a luxury I can rarely experience lately. Levi's sleep is still all over the place and I'm beginning to blame myself. I've gotten into a (bad) habit of bringing him into bed with me when he starts stirring around 2-3am and of course, when he's in bed with me, I don't sleep for fear that I'll crush him or something! The reason I bring him in with me is because I don't want his crying and noise making to wake Harley up (the GOOD sleeper!). I really need to stop doing this and concentrate on getting him back to sleep in his OWN bed. As of tonight, I'm going to "attempt" this new plan.

Speaking of which, it's 7:45pm and I'm turning in. Wish me luck!

A few more firsts...

We've had quite a few firsts over the last few weeks!

First solid feed...


First time in the Jolly Jumper...


First time in a Bumbo...


And first TEETH!

Ok, so you can't really see much but trust me, they're there! I took this photo with my phone so when I find my good camera, I'll try and get a better pic. Can you believe it? Teeth at FOUR MONTHS??!?

So far, so good!

It's only been a little over a day and already I've seen a huge difference in Levi since we started the solids. Today he's been more content and sleeping for longer periods. He seems to LOVE his solids so I guess he was just a hungry little fellow! Here's hoping we see more of this new little Levi. :)
