Levi's Olympic Feat!

Levi must be inspired by the Olympics because he performed an AMAZING feat today...he rolled over for the first time! I was over at my parents house and I laid him down on his tummy for some "tummy time." The next thing I knew, he had rolled all the way over! Of course we called daddy and told him the good news, and hurried home to show him. As soon as we walked in the door, I laid him on his playmat, tummy down, called Johnny in the room, had the cameras ready and we waited...and waited...and waited. NOTHING! I think Johnny started to think I had made it up. So later on tonight, I decided to give it another try. I laid him on his tummy and he did it for daddy! I think he deserves a gold medal, don't you?

This mugs as cute as a bug (on a rug)

Levi was in such a good mood today, so I decided to set up my own little photo shoot. I couldn't quite get him to smile for the camera, but I got some great shots of his cute little mug :-)

More pics of Levi

We have taken so many pictures of Levi that our hard drive is almost completely full from all of the pictures we have downloaded to the computer!

Levi's Big Dedication Day

This morning we went back to Christian Life Assembly to have Levi dedicated by our former Pastor. So in order to get Levi ready for his big day, we gave him a good, soapy bath so he would smell good, put some baby lotion on him, dressed him in his dedication outfit complete with matching shoes and hat, fed him so he would be in a good mood, and right when church was starting, he had a MAJOR blowout all over his outfit! There was poop everywhere and we were supposed to go on stage in about 15 minutes! I started freaking out, so Debbie, our amazing nursery director took over and started scrubbing. We were frantically running around trying to get the stain out. Then we threw it in the dryer and waited for it to dry. And waited. And waited some more. After what seemed like an hour, it was still wet, so Debbie took it to the bathroom and held it under the hand dryer. Finally, we threw the outfit on him and walked in right as they were calling us up. whew! Thank you Debbie! You are AMAZING!

Back when we were still on staff at CLA Johnny promised the youth that we would come back and visit and he would hold Levi up like Simba in the Lion King. So this morning they suprised us after the dedication and as we were about to walk off the stage, they played the clip from the Lion King with "The Circle of Life". All of the youth came up front and Johnny got to hold Levi up in front of everyone like Simba. It was hilarious! As soon as I can figure out how to get the video onto the computer, I will post it :-)

After church we had Johnny's family and some friends of ours, Tim and Kelsey Mullaney, over to our house. Here are some pics from Levi's big day.

Levi's 1st 4th of July

We went to East Texas this weekend to celebrate the 4th of July with my family. Here are some pics of Levi in the country :-)

On Saturday we came back to Dallas and hung out with Johnny's family! We barbecued and hung out by the pool all day. Too bad Levi is still too little to swim! I can't wait till he can wear his adorable board shorts! We were having so much fun, I forgot to take pictures!

Naptime

Ahhh naptime. Levi is sleeping peacefully in his swing, with his paci and drool dribbling out of his mouth. I should be sleeping myself right now, or better yet cleaning house.
