Mr. Attitude

Lately, Levi is showing us more of his personality and independance. He hates getting his diaper changed and does not like any of his own toys only things he can not have..this week he found the plunger and broom and threw a fit when we took it away. He also loves combing his hair with our brushes. He gets into everything. I think I have some more Levi proofing to do. His work out in the morning or evening is climbing the stairs on his knees..up and down usually two times...he huffs and puffs when he is done and his little heart is just pounding. He has so many different moods and laughs that he can entertain you all day. One night this week he was standing up in the bathtub and started peeing..he turned around and just was laughing away. We have been trying to get outside with this weather as much as we can and Levi loves it.

Florida!

This past week Ryan and I went to Naples, Florida with Ryan's brother Casey and his wife Laura. We left Levi behind with the grandparents with detailed instructions:)It was so good to get away as a couple and enjoy the warm temperatures. We had such a good time and really did not miss our little one as much as we thought. Though at times, I think that Ryan was going through withdrawls of not being able to hold Levi. We had alot fun relaxing, reading, sitting by the pool, going out for dinner and the best...sleeping in. Although, I could not sleep in past 8 or so...it still was a much needed rest.Friday night we went to the dog track and all placed our bets on the winning dogs...they all got the last four spots. No extra money for us. The first day, Saturday,we went to Sanibel island and went on Indigo Trail in the Ding Nature Preserve and then went to the beach. Sunday we went to a Flea Market and spent time in the sun at the pool and then went to Fort Meyers Beach to watch the sunset. Monday we went to Everglades National Park and Tuesday we played minigolf and spent some more time relaxing in the sun. It was the perfect amount of time to be away and much needed. We enjoyed spending time with Casey and Laura and we are thankful for the best care for Levi while we were gone, spending time with his grandparents.


This is the first attempt at video..not very exciting but it worked..

Making a Mess

The other morning I gave Levi a can of quick oats and a spoon to play with. The cap was on tight..but he was shaking the can so hard, having so much fun and making so much noise I let him play away. He managed to get the cap off and I continued to let him get all in the oatmeal...he is Mr. Tactile and loved touching, tasting and sweezing that oatmeal.
