Hello Friends and
Family,
It has been almost
five weeks since we last updated you on our adventure in adoption. In our last update, we let everyone know that
our prayers had been answered and we had just brought home a precious baby boy. Well, here we are, 5 weeks later, and we’re
doing GREAT!! Although, the first week,
we had to keep telling ourselves he was ours and we didn’t have to give him
back. Oh, and if you couldn’t tell from
the title of the post, we can now share with you his name: Levi August
Compton. It feels great to tell you his
name.
We took him home on
2/14 and he’s done nothing but grow since.
At his first doctor’s visit, the pediatrician told us that he was
perfectly healthy and we were, of course, absolutely relieved. He was back at his birth weight within a week
and only waking up once at night. So
far, he’s spoiled us more than we’ve spoiled him (and we’ve spoiled him a lot). He is now over 9 lbs and eating like a champ!
We have had several
family members and friends come by to love on him and we are reminded every
time how blessed we are to have such love and support surrounding us at all
times. We can’t wait to share the
pictures we’ve been taking of Levi with all his grandparents, aunts, uncles,
fur siblings and friends. Until then,
this little teaser will have to suffice:
I know exactly what
you’re thinking: THAT HAIR!! He was born
with more hair than his Daddy (which his uncles definitely point out as much as
they can). He is the most handsome
little boy in the world, all biases aside, of course. 😊
All in all, we are
on cloud nine being able to call this little boy our son. He is the answered prayer we had faith would
come to us and we thank everyone for their prayers that brought him home. God is great!
Love Always,
Mike, LB and Baby Levi
