Levi for Sale... just kidding, jeez!

We had a very busy weekend... rummage sale - Chicago Style! And don't worry, we didn't sell Levi. He did have a great time outside, though, and it was great getting to know lots of our neighbors. It was also fun to hang out with Kelly, Chris, Paul, Kindra, and Cyrus our fellow rummage sellers!

I know that Levi LOVES paper, I guess Cyrus likes it too.

Yay, for trading stuff we don't want for the green stuff!

Levi and Cyrus were modeling the baby toy we found in our basement after our neighbor moved out... it didn't sell. Jenny was trying to get $10 for it, but we noticed later that there was $35 sticker from when our neighbor probably bought it... oops!

"Raaarrrrr!"

"Only $10... no, not me, the toy! I'm priceless!"

Levi was having a tough day and I didn't get why...

So we played instead of eating

Levi loved the balloons from the rummage sale


I swear that tongue is out more than in!


I made Levi snuggle as a punishment for whining... classic!

This afternoon Levi was doing his usual dog-like scratching of the door... then Jenny heard a weird noise and Levi had given up scratching and was now trying to chew through the hinge!

Jenny pulled the paint chips out of his mouth
(look by his right foot)

By the way I can't believe Levi is already nine months old and it's MAY 2010! Ridiculous! Any ways have a great week everyone and thanks for taking time out of your day to check in on us.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Matthew 11:28-30

Toofers, Toofers, and more Toofers

Levi has been having a tough couple weeks. He has THREE teeth coming in up top and his poor little mouth and jaw seem to always be sore. So, he's making sure to chew on everything extra hard as of late, including this key ring.

However, no matter the pain, bath time always makes things better!

Especially splashing!

Sporting the treehugger shirt on Earth Day! Um..... go Earth Day, I guess.

So, we got a lovely package in the mail this week from my employer... congratulating us on having a baby! There was a humorous little rattle and a really nice baby towel (so plush). Thanks KPMG, only nine months after the fact. However, in their defense, it appeared the package was sent to our previous Chicago address and then sent back to Dallas and then re-mailed to our current address. Not sure why forwarding didn't work or why it took an extra 6-8 months... oh well.

The rattle says, "My Parent Works At KPMG" and Levi has some awesome snot goin' on.

He was trying to escape nap time

It didn't work

Surprise visit by the Dwyer fam.
Levi got a new jacket and hat as part of the deal.

Chalk up another couple points to the Dwyer team on proper grandparenting... step it up Jones'... j/k

Not sure what he's checking out, but he looks cute doing it!

Drew was given one letter of our wireless password for each minute spent with Levi. He wanted to use it with his new iPod Touch... fancy (the password thing was my response to being jealous of his new toy). Any ways, he started by plopping down next to Levi and turning off the music on BooBoo's Jumperoo. Levi was not happy.
So, I added a couple minutes to the first password letter for this.

P.S. Your sister is still shocked at how much taller you are than she.
Knock it off! :)

My baby is a genius! Check out Levi's new fad: the upside down nuk

Here's a prime example of our little Tooth-a-nator.

Another rare moment of pure sassiness.
We can almost hear him saying,

"I'lllllll be baaaaaack...with another cranky face!"

Here we have Levi exploring the far edges of his crib slats. We don't care what the SIDS people say, this is why we have a bumper!

Today Jenny went to visit Aunt Marty and Uncle Ed in Crown Point. As a Christmas present, they GENEROUSLY gave Levi a little angel photo shoot with the lovely Edda Taylor; we just had to wait until the lil guy was able to sit up on his own. The shoot was complete with ethereal backdrop, floofy angel wings, a mini-French horn, and a cute baby! All I have to say is there better be at least one picture with Levi wielding a weapon...

Isn't he darling?! And check out the big boy underpants/diaper cover :)

Thanks for stopping by, all! I hope you enjoyed the NFL draft this past weekend with its three days of AMAZINGNESS instead of its normal two. We look forward to the Jones' attempt to even up the score this coming weekend ;)

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the FATHER of heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
