Signs of Spring

I found the day lillies coming up in our front yard. It is about time I saw some hope for spring!

"I love Daddy time!"

Happy elf.

I have been working on some items to sell at a craft sale. Here is one of them. I needed a baby head to try them on... sorry Levi!

Miscellaneous photos of Levi

Levi's front two bottom teeth.

Levi's large feet.

Levi and Lucy napping in the sun.

A taste of baby apples on his fingers.

This picture makes it look like Levi is feeding himself. :)

Just plain cute.

P.K.'s

I feel blessed to have met two other pastor's wives in this town close to my age and with little ones close to Levi's age. This morning Vera and Levi had a play date as follows:

Vera: "Hey Levi, let's hold hands!"

Levi: "Eeewww, no way. You have cooties!" Kick

Vera: "Fine. How bout a competition in head holding." Levi: "But I am le tired"

Vera: "Ok. I will just suck on your head then."

The other pastor's wife I know had a little boy 2 months after Levi so we enjoyed some time pregnant together. This is their 2nd child so I agreed to watch David while Suri (1 1/2) got some x-rays. It was quite time consuming watching a then-3 month old and almost 5 month old. I give props to all moms of twins!

MOPS Weekend Fun

Levi and I went to DeSmet with a small group of MOPS mamas. He was one of three baby boys along for the ride. We went to a floral/gift shop, dined on free snacks, learned scarf tying, flower arranging, and tried on hats.

I love Levi in this Davy Crockett hat. I should get him one sometime.

Afterward, we dined at a country club. It was a fun day.

5 Months!

I really cannot believe that Levi is almost a 1/2 a year old! He is getting so big. Here is his 5 month picture along with a few other cute shots.

Such a boy. Right after the above photo was taken, he decided the giraffe looked good enough to eat.

When giraffe slides away, Levi decides to lecture it on how to behave.

Mom fixes slumping giraffe followed by giggle fest from Levi.

Followed by another attempt to lick his giraffe.

And this led to. "Okay, I am tired of sitting up. I am going to just fall forward now."
Here is one that I did NOT pose him for. I set my magazine on the ground and when I turned around, this is what I saw: (note: as soon as this picture was taken he proceeded to rip 2 pages out of it :)Lately, Levi has enjoyed rolling all over the floor. He is getting frustrated at his failed attempts at crawling. This picture does capture his amazing ability to levitate his legs however. (This could potentially be the key to the crawling frustration. Feet need to actually touch the floor. :)

"Secrets from Daddy are my favorite!"

"Daddy makes me giggle!"

Here, Levi is grabbing my camera while I am attempting to photograph him.
