Playing Chicago Tourist...Stay Warm!

It's a little bit cold in Chicago this time of year... so, Levi has to wear a couple extra layers when he goes outside.

Yes, on a regular basis this is how our son sleeps, basically twisted like a mounted fish.

His eyes are so girly!

Trying to rock him to sleep, super sonic style!

"You better not be starting Ryan Grant this week, Dad!"

Oh no, Levi found his built-in toy... Thanks to photoshop I was able to censor it and share this special moment with all of you.

Sleeping position II, the faceplant (not recommended).
No matter how many times we move him,
our little wiggle worm finds his way to the nearest bumper.
I guess there's just no fightin' it.

Today we went to the Museum of Science and Industry on Chicago's South side. It was a really good time, we highly recommend it. Of course, Levi was most fond of the exhibits' visual aids... aka TV screens.

"Yay, Allied forces!"

This was the U-505, a U-boat that the Allied forces captured during WWII and later transported to Chicago, via the Great Lakes; it was absolutely incredible.

From one baby to another

"Is it hot in here, or is it just me?"

"Wee!"

(Motion activated cameras, picture doesn't do it justice)

Levi's first time in a plane, ex-vivo
(Jet turbines are insane!)

"Go Wright Brother!"

Don't drop the baby over the balcony!

"Is that THE Casey Jones and Fireman Levi!"

What a day! He even pulled the hat down over his eyes himself.

Thanks for checking out our first 2010 week home in Chicago! Don't forget to check out the bonus post of pictures from Christmas with my side of the family thanks to my sisters' and mom's cameras. Have a great weekend everyone and don't let the Packers' loss mess up your week too much (that onside kick was amazing, though).
