A Week at Home

Hello! It's time for another update from Levi-land. You may be wondering why we keep posting on Tuesday instead of the usual Sunday night, but I felt it was necessary this week to wait until after Levi's six month check, so that I could tell you how awesome our little 15 lb. 15 oz. 26 incher is doing... He's doing terrific, as if there was any other answer, and that's what his doctor said too. For the other weeks, posting on Tuesday was just a matter of laziness...

As hilarious as the above picture is, as Levi tries to simultaneously gnaw on his hand, Jenny's pull string and the rings on his elephant, Blueberry Bill (Jenny's handiwork), this was really just our way of making you look at our amazing lasagna that we made!

Levi is starting to get the hang of sitting up; it won't be long before he's crawling all over the place. It might be time to buffer all our table edges...

Levi loves to take his nuk out and put it back in. Rarely does it end up back in the same way it came out; this was pretty close.

"Gimme the camera!"


Now that Levi is a rolling machine, he falls asleep in the best positions, like the "butt in the air" cuddle...


Or the "I hate the light" lounge.

He always manages to find the corner...

Enjoy as Levi makes his own brand of music!

Before I go, I need to ask you all for a huge favor. This past week some friends of ours, Matt and Lauren, lost their baby, Isaiah David, at 32 weeks (second miscarriage in less than 14 months)... So, please lift them up as you speak with God over the next few months and pray that they can make it through each day knowing that God is in control and loves us. I'll leave you with a few words from Lauren...

"A few months before my grandmother passed away, she gave my mother her rosary. Its beads remind us that the FATHER encircles and wraps us with love. At the base of my grandmother's rosary, JESUS the MESSIAH, our hope and salvation, stretches HIS arms, victorious over death. The day after my son, Isaiah, walked into those same arms, my mother gave me this rosary."

AMEN

"Uuugghhh... I don't like it"

We were thinking of sending this photo in to Carter's Kids (maker of most of Levi's clothes) to see if they would be interested in Levi modeling for them, but I think he needs to lose a little weight first... I kiiiiddd, we love our little Chunky!

Levi is really starting to explore and enjoy toys, which gives Mommy a little more down time.
Even a little time to pose for some pics!


Levi wasn't so sure about the camera in his face for the 10 millionth time

But I did get some great pictures before he lost interest

This past weekend we were up in Wisconsin helping Carli and Steve move in to their new home. It has a great layout and a very nice guest bedroom for our little family of three. Levi approved by sleeping through the night for the first time at a new place. Here I am getting Levi's car seat; just had to add this to make sure I made the blog. :)

Here's the happy home owners... and their home! And since you've been waiting so patiently, I'll explain the title to this week's post... as part of the new home owner celebration I bought little Babybel cheese wheels. Steve had never had one, so I told him he had to try one. He pulled one out... pulled off the wrapper... and bit into it... "uuuugghhh... I don't like it," Steve moaned. "Steve, you need to peel off the wax first, that red stuff is wax, the cheese is inside it!" (We all laughed and laughed the rest of the weekend!)

Levi enjoying his baby food; our baby is getting SOOOO big!

Well, that's all from us here in Chicago. Have a great week everyone and happy belated birthday Sarah!
