Levi August Compton

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
