So at our 4 month check up with Levi, our pediatrician said that we could go ahead and start “solids”, meaning cereal, either rice or oats, mixed with breastmilk. He has good head control, can sit unaided (in the tripod) and regular sitting with only us helping to stabilize him, and can transfer objects from…

What summer without a bit of swimming? And why not go for a helicopter ride while you are at it? The other gal is Victoria, from my church. She’s 7 months pregnant and Greg’s wild side (the pilot) got the best of her belly. She started to get nauseous so we came down.

So we’ve given the little guy bits of avocado, which he loves. The occasional bit of banana, let him suck the juice out of a muskmelon and turn the pulp to mush, which he also seems to like. A few cheerios that he has mashed into oblivion. In the last week or so, though, he’s…

It’s been quite a month for little Levi! He went on his first camping trip, and when we came back he laughed for the first time. Apparently, spitting up on Mommy after a big belch at 1:30 a.m. is pretty funny. 😀 But there we were, all three of us on the bed at 1:30…

Well, first off, it is Keith’s birthday today. Happy Birthday Honey!!! It is also one year ago today that Levi became a part of our lives. He didn’t look like much then, but here’s what he looks like now:

As we transition little Levi from the bassinet to the crib, I realize that he is not so “little” anymore. Everyone remarks, “Oh, he’s so tiny! He must have been little when he was born.” No, not really, a good healthy seven pounds. And at three months, he weighed in at just over twelve pounds.…

When Levi was placed in my arms upon his birth, Keith and I inspected every square milimeter of his tiny body and found him to be utterly perfect. He had five fingers on each hand, five tiny toes on each foot; everything was in the right spot, and he had the brightest blue eyes we’d…

And I DO mean Dallas. 🙂 Sorry, a bit of a reference to country music there… Yep, June 5 Levi and I are boarding a plane and headed to Dallas to visit Matt and Jen and Kayla and Lucas. Yippee! Unfortunately, Keith can’t come along, so it’s going to be a lonely week for him.…

Last weekend, we went and saw Ken and Perline, cousins from my Dad’s side. It was so great to see them; we should have gone over there sooner. They are doing wonderfully and had a marvelous time cuddling and cooing over Levi.    And it’s been so nice outside that I took Levi out and…

We went up North last weekend so that the Grandparents and Great Grandparents could meet Levi. While at Grandma Judy’s, we pulled out Keith’s baby photos. Here is a scanned copy of a copy of Keith’s hospital photo, and one of Levi. We no longer wonder which side he looks more like…  take a look.…
