It's been so nice out lately, I just couldn't stay couped up inside. On Friday, my mom came over and we took Levi to the park in our neighborhood. He loved the swing! Here are some pictures...
On Saturday me and Johnny took him back to the park and we walked around the pond, swang and went down the slide!
My cousin Beverly is an amazing photographer. She took some pics of Levi after Christmas and she just sent them to me. Here they are...
Well, I must apologize to my one follower for not keeping up with my postings. haha love ya jen :-)I have a lot of catching up to do! This week was a VERY busy week for Levi. He has been getting over an ear infection but that didn't see to stop him! Let's see, he waved bye-bye for the first time...and not on accident! He can now pull himself up to standing and he likes to stand up in his crib and hold onto the rail. This afternoon I caught him trying to CLIMB up onto his playpen! Johnny was a big climber as a kid and I think Levi is following in his daddy's footsteps :-) He's also now crawling on his knees instead of doing the "gimp leg" thing and he's getting ALOT more mobile, therefore keeping us VERY busy.
Levi is keeping us VERY busy these days...hence the lack of blogging. He is crawling everywhere and getting into everything! He is also teething (he has 4 on the top and 2 on the bottom) so he's been a little fussy, but who can blame him. He loves to knock blocks over after we stack them and he loves shoes, keys and remotes...all of which he's not aloud to have. Why is it that babies always want what they can't have, anyways? We've been giving him "big boy" foods like cheerios and crackers and he loves to bite into them. We're still working on some sign language and saying "bye bye."
Levi is on a ROLL! Today he sat up from laying down on his tummy AND pulled himself up on the coffee table. However, as soon as he stood up he fell straight back. hehe. But he is definitely getting more mobile and independent. It was so much fun staying home with him the past two days because of being iced in :-)
For the longest time, every time we would put Levi on his tummy he would just start crying and looking at me like "why aren't you picking me up?" He LOVES to walk with us holding his hands, and I was beginning to wonder if he was ever going to crawl! Yesterday we put his little reindeer that he loves just out of reach to see if he would crawl to it and he DID! It's so funny to watch him. He uses his arms to army crawl and just kind of drags his legs. It's hilarious!
Yesterday Levi reached for me for the first time. I went to go pick him up at the church nursery and he broke out into a huge grin and held out his arms to me. I almost melted :-)
After we had Christmas with my family, we loaded up the car and headed over to Johnny's parents house to have Christmas with Nana and Grandpa, Aunt Rissie and Aunt Jamie, Uncle Bennett and Levi's cousins, Elisa, James and John. Johnny's mom fixed an amazing Christmas dinner (as usual!)and Levi's relatives got to meet him and spend some time with him. Then we opened our presents and Levi got even more spoiled! (if that's possible) haha. He had so much fun playing with all of his new toys (and the boxes and bows).
When I was little I used to ask my parents why they didn't get more presents from Santa and they would always tell me it was because their present was watching me open my gifts. I never understood that until now. It was so much fun watching Levi experience everything for the first time. Watching him open all of his gifts on Christmas day was the best present that I could've ever gotten.
