Bouncy Bounce

I/we have always known Levi was an easy baby.  He is truly the most content, easy going, laid back, happy little guy.  He stinks at sleep but I can't even complain about that being he is always happy no matter how long he sleeps.  He usually goes down without crying, sometimes fusses, but not screaming.  The last few nights he has only got up once to eat and still slept until 7ish.  If he wakes up earlier than 7 I can usually lay him back down.  I say all this and tomorrow he will probably be a terror!  We often reflect back to the days Luke was a baby and have a few laughs.  Luke cried when you changed his diaper from the day he was born until he was like 2.  He cried when you brushed his teeth and actually still gives us grief.  Just in last few months has he started waking up happy and not crying from his naps.  I can not believe how different Levi is and I am so thankful for God's grace.  I often thank Him knowing life with 3 would be extremely difficult if Levi was a challenging baby.  All that being said we love them both the same.  The love for our children is a glimpse into the heart of Christ and what he feels for us.

I have enjoyed all of our children.  Halle being the 1st, and Luke being the 1st boy and things being a little easier being he was our 2nd.  BUT, I have to say I am way more relaxed with our 3rd which allows me to enjoy him sooo much more.  He smiles and giggles all the time.  He loves to play in his exersaucer, on his mat or jump in the jumper.  He loves watching Halle and Luke and is truly content if they are around. Every minute with him thus far has been 100% pure joy....not to mention he is our miracle baby giving us our huge scare when he was born!  He holds the key to his big sister's heart as well:)  She smothers him in kisses all day.  She will sit and hold him for the entire hour he is awake and not eating if I let her.  She even rocks him and sings to him before I lay him down for bed.  She reads him books and has to show him all of her artwork.  I have a feeling they are going to have a super special bond.
