Well, summer has officially arrived in North Carolina. After a rare mild spring, the heat and humidity have been turned up to full blast. The beginning of the Memorial Day weekend brought rain but it was nice and sunny (but very humid!) by the end. Monday we spent just hanging out as a family and then later with church friends at a cookout. We spent quite some time out in the front yard just playing in the shade. Levi now likes to push around his wagon and walk behind it. Won’t be long before we have a walker! He also …

Getting Big
Just an update on the “chunk”, as we affectionately call him. 🙂 He is getting so big and his hair is getting so long! Next week he will be 11 months – so hard to believe! Levi loves the camera {especially for mommy!} so we have fun taking little snapshots. 🙂
Zoo Day!
This post is a little late in coming but still wanted to post these pictures! About 2 weeks ago, my friend Lindsay and I took our boys out to Asheboro, NC to the NC Zoo. I was initially really worried about this day trip – fearing that I would be carrying my 25 lb. baby all day long. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised and we had a WONDERFUL day! Both boys did great, we had beautiful weather and just an overall good day. Looking forward to a full family trip someday soon!
“Momma”
Need to share another video {sorry if you are on Levi overload!}. 🙂 Levi has been a late “talker”. He didn’t start babbling or making different noises until just recently. I wouldn’t say he is truly babbling yet but he has figured out one letter and it happens to be “M”! Most babies say “Da” first so I was thrilled when Levi started saying “momma”. Granted, he has no idea what he is saying and just says it randomly but it warms my heart a bit. 🙂
Crawling! {Sort-of}
Levi has been so proud of himself lately that he can get to his knees from sitting and back up again. He has been looking like he is going to take off for about 3 weeks now. But alas, just hasn’t been able to figure it out. Instead he started scooting backwards. He especially gets going when he hits the hard floor. This has gotten him places {definitely not where he was intending to go – usually getting stuck under furniture and in corners}. See exhibit A. Just in the past few days he has decided that he WANTS to …
Happy St. Patty’s Day!
GeeDunk Picture
Grove City College’s alumni magazine, The GeeDunk, has a section that shows off all the babies born to alums. All you have to do is let them know you had a baby, they send you a t-shirt, you take a picture of baby in t-shirt and send the picture back to GCC. Then they publish it in the next issue. I finally contacted the college after Christmas and we got our shirt a few weeks ago. Took some pictures of Levi today (more to come!) and we finally have a GeeDunk picture! I am absolutely in love with this picture …
Sort-of crafty
Craft projects just have NOT happened since Levi was born. I really wish that I could say that I have done something over the past 8 months but sadly I have not. I am going to blame this on how difficult of a child Levi is and not my lack of motivation….yes that’s right….no time due to challenging baby…. 🙂 Anyways, Levi’s great-grandmother sent him a card for V-Day with his first monies in it! I don’t even have a cutesy piggy bank for him so I decided I would make him one. I have tons of these Mason/Ball jars …
Happy V-Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Sending everyone lots of love!
A Day at the Park
This past weekend was a beautiful January weekend! So, we spent some time outside on Saturday with little man. We took him down to the neighborhood playground and swung on the swings and explored the jungle gym. 🙂 He seemed so happy to be “playing”!
