How old is he?

This is a question I get asked by many about my big boy Levi. He is 5 months old and could pass as a 7-8 month old. I took him for his 4 month check up last month and am just now getting to blog about it. I am also doing a blogger's no no.....I don't have any pictures at this moment to post (Gasp, ahhh, spit, yell). I will post pictures soon.

At four months he....

weighs 17 lbs 2 oz-which I am confident he weighs much more now

sits on his own

drools uncontrollably

screams when he is happy and mad which is pretty funny

rolls over one way

and loves to give big sloppy kisses.

I will not touch on the sleeping issue very much. I have come to terms that it is my lot in life to have children who do not like to sleep. Levi did wonderful when he was newborn, but when he hit the 4 month mark he decided he would keep his momma up all night. So all you genius blogger mommies out there, please give me some advice. How do you get your children to sleep at night? I am convinced since I have two children that do not sleep all night that it is my fault. I am the root of all evil. Tell me what I am doing wrong.  I am guessing most of you will tell me to make sure he is awake once I put him to bed. That is easier said than done. Let me just go ahead an tell you that Levi is usually asleep when I lay him down. He nurses around 8 and I can't keep him awake for anything. Is this where I am wrong? I am interested to hear how you get your baby to sleep. Please leave me a comment with the magic trick! I and my sleepy puffy eyes would appreciate it greatly. Oh how I would love to look at myself and not see blood shot eyes!

Until next time!
