As we transition little Levi from the bassinet to the crib, I realize that he is not so “little” anymore. Everyone remarks, “Oh, he’s so tiny! He must have been little when he was born.” No, not really, a good healthy seven pounds. And at three months, he weighed in at just over twelve pounds.…

When Levi was placed in my arms upon his birth, Keith and I inspected every square milimeter of his tiny body and found him to be utterly perfect. He had five fingers on each hand, five tiny toes on each foot; everything was in the right spot, and he had the brightest blue eyes we’d…

And I DO mean Dallas. 🙂 Sorry, a bit of a reference to country music there… Yep, June 5 Levi and I are boarding a plane and headed to Dallas to visit Matt and Jen and Kayla and Lucas. Yippee! Unfortunately, Keith can’t come along, so it’s going to be a lonely week for him.…

Everything is going really well here; Levi is such a good baby and only…

Today’s up date, Martha and Levi cuddling. Dr. Aurand releasing us. 

All is  good here;  we should be going home Tuesday. Here are a couple pictures to enjoy Grandpa and Grandma simerson saying hi for the first time Grandma  Stanley  saying  hi  for  the  first time Grandpa Doug and myself trying to tie a shirt on Levi. Quiet and beautiful all in the same picture.

Every body welcome Levi Nathanael Crawford Born at 8:45 a.m., 3/25/07. 7 pounds even, and 18 1/2″ long. We did a totally natural childbirth, thanks to the encouragement of my Wonderful Husband and our Birthing Doula who kept reminding me that that was what I wanted. Directly after birth, cleaning him up. Tummy time right…
