First Church Trip and First Post-Placement Visit

On Sunday I took Levi to church for the first time - by myself as Rachel was out of town for the weekend visiting her aunt and uncles and cousins. He did really well. Everyone was so sweet! The children just loved to come and look at him and remark how cute he was. I know!! He is!! During announcements our pastor welcomed Levi and had us come to the front so everyone could get a look at him. We are truly blessed to have such a great church family!!

Today we had our first post-placement visit. It went well. Levi was content and giggly for most of it, which is good seeing that he was in need of a nap. He didn't nap well in the morning or this afternoon. I hope that isn't a problem later in the day. He still seems to fight sleeping more than I would like to see but hopefully in another week that will be cleared up.
