6 months and counting!

Hey loved ones! It's been a while since I've written. Things got hard for the past 6-8 weeks. 2 things: sleep regression and teething. At about four and a half months, he went from only waking once per night to waking every 2 hours consistently. We're on week 6 of him going down between 9-10:30, then waking at 12:30, 2:30, 4:30, and then up for the day at 6:30. It's SO brutal. It's been just so tough, I am perpetually exhausted. He has also been teething; very fussy the majority of the time, and in a lot of pain. His bottom 2 front teeth just came in and you can see them when he smiles, soooo cute! He is definitely less fussy now and smiles a lot. He gets really excited when he sees one of us and loves to laugh and explore everything. He is now in the 80th percentile of height and weight for his age. He's a big boy! He is six and a half months but wear clothing for 12-18 months. Hehe. We have gone through so many little rompers and onsies that no longer fit anymore. But we have been getting lots of cute hand me downs! I am just taking things one day at a time and it should get easier soon. We're trying different things to help with sleeping too. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers, we should hear back tomorrow about an offer we submitted for a house we LOVE in Burbank, CA. It's just perfect and we're really hoping it works out. We will keep everyone posted. Things have been good for us. We are so lucky to all be healthy. Jesse came to visit a few weeks ago and we had an awesome time together! He spoiled us! Took us to a Dodgers game, took great care of Levi, and made so much delicious home cooked food. He even brought herbs and veggies from his garden in NY! My favorite thing that he made was well, everything! Pesto, blueberry pancakes, apple crisp, and granola, using my Mom's old recipe. Such good times. I cherish those days! Work is going good for both Marcelo and I. We are struggling a lot with not getting sick since we are both so exhausted all the time, and this is all with his Mom's regular help to us. Can't imagine life without her! So we count our blessings. Love to all!
