A bundle of joy. Funny, silly, sweet, loving little bundle of joy! He is my delicious little baby, he smells so sweet, his skin is so soft, and I find I can never give him enough kisses!
11 months old, I'll never get used to how quickly time flies. I'm pretty sure I will be one of those moms balling my eyes out when my kids graduate preschool. Although- I'm not 100% sure, because I was pretty sure I would be crying on Emma's first day of preschool, but I find myself looking forward to sending her off in September to learn and play with new friends, without mommy, for a few hours during the week :)
Our little Levi. He is just so funny! He always gives a cute little flirty smile that makes me feel he knows exactly what I am thinking. He loves to play with pretty much anything- cars, balls, blocks, baby dolls, toy lipstick, hairbrushes....you name it! And as expected, everything goes in his mouth.
He says mama, dada, emmmmmmmma- really stressing the "mmmm"...... and that's about it so far! He waves hello, signs "all done", squeals and screams the most high pitched tone you have ever heard, and pretty much just grabs at my neck and smacks my chest when he wants to nurse. I have no idea what happened to his signs for "milk" and "more", but they are pretty nonexistent!
Why is he so funny? I don't know....he just is! He will be playing with toys minding his own business, and all of a sudden will just play-what we call-'possum! He just lies down on his belly with a huge grin on his face and waits for us to notice him. Similar to his sister, he rocks out to any and all music that he hears. He loves to bounce on his bottom or sway side to side to the beat. And when I start singing "row row row your boat", he does the motions....same with "trot trot to Boston".
Bedtime is fantastic now! In fact, so are his 9am morning nap and his 2pm afternoon nap! I simply say "Levi, let's go take a snooz" as I carry him up the stairs- and he immediately starts swaying side to side in my arms, humming our bedtime song "i noo noo......". LOVE HIM!
Levi was sitting on the floor the other day as Felix left for work, and instead of crawling to the door and crying (as usual), he simply started blowing kisses once the door was shut. Too cute.
Felix is determined to get this kid walking soon, and honestly- I am seeing some major improvements....but no walking yet. Personally, I am in no rush to have him walk- although it would make playing at the playground a bit easier! Right now he is happy to crawl everywhere, but certainly more than capable of walking while holding onto just one lone little finger of ours. I think his walking days are right around the corner. sniff sniff.
Emma wanted to strike a pose. She also wanted to play wtih my eyeliner before our photo shoot. I think she needs a little practice before she heads to the beauty pageant!!

re: your comment about not crying when emma went to preschool--you definitely need that time to miss your babies for a few minutes :)
having the girls with a sitter 2x a week is that break for me. now if only joel will cooperate in the gym daycare, perhaps i could re-acquaint myself with a long run!
