At the zoo

 

Nana, Aunt Vicki, Cousin Elizabeth, Cousin Benjamin and Levi all went to the Forth Worth Zoo today. This was Levi's first trip to the zoo. Levi's favorite exhibit was the bird room! They actually went into a room with all the birds flying around. Nana said he kept looking around at all the birds. At around 2pm he fell asleep in the stroller and slept all the way home.

I'm hoping to see more pictures tomorrow.

Dusting the floor

Before you call CPS, he did this all on his own. We really don't make him dust for us! For that matter, I have no idea where Levi learned to dust, because he certainly has never seen his mama do it!  Perhaps his Meephs taught him on Friday when she babysat him.

Sit n sew

Hours of work complete! Yea!
I trimmed all these half square triangles so they are square again. Now for the fun part. Piecing. That may have to wait until next month's sit n sew at Blue Ribbon Quilt shop. Next month my sister is going with me. Even Better!

The first 15 seconds are funny!

Sleeping Angel

My baby is growing up! This morning I went in to check on him because he had slept so long. He was asleep on his tummy with his toosh up in the air. It reminded me of yoga's eight angle salute pose.

   

He was so cute! Even cuter...He slept for 8 1/2 hours straight! After about 5 hours I kept waking up, thinking that I slept though his cries. When he did wake up he crawled to the corner of his crib, pulled up, stood looking over the rail at me through the window and cried. (There is a french door dividing the nursery from our bedroom.) So pitiful. ;-)

7 months old

Better late than never, right? So Levi is actually 7 1/2 months old now but I didn't want to do his pictures while he was sick and fussy earlier this month.

Yes, he is pulling up on things!

Love this expression!

He has discovered how to make a motorboat sound with his lips.

He gave Tigger a hug but I missed the shot because the flash was overheated. Dern!

Photographing him has gotten a little more interesting! I love all his expressions and excitement.

Meephs

Meephs babysat Levi today so that Jesse and I could go out on a Valentines date. We went to Red Lobster. I ate so much that it is my only meal today! I enjoyed spending time with Jesse today.

When we came back Meeph and Levi were both taking a short snooze! They were so precious!

Crawling!

Levi has learned to crawl!
It is so stinkin cute!! He has become hyperactive, super excited boy now that he can get to all the things he wants to see up close. The first night Levi finally got crawling down pat, he played so hard that he got sweaty.

Trouble is this hyperactivity carries over into night time. Plus, he had a bout of upper respiratory infection and got a little spoiled because he slept in bed with us. Now that he is better, he doesn't want to stay in his crib all night.

My Nana always told me, "This too shall pass". I hope tonight is the night that he finally sleeps better.

I still have to take his 7 month picture. Hopefully I can post it in the next couple days.
