Get Me Out!

I shot this video about two weeks ago. I guess Levi was trying to get our attention so we would get up and get him out of the bassinet. Since this video, Levi has moved out of the bassinet and into his crib. He is doing well since the move to the crib, and it didn't interrupt his sleeping habits at all.

Fall is Here!

I am so excited that fall is on it's way. The days have been so nice with the cooler weather setting in, and leaves beginning to change. I decided it was time for a little celebrating before the weather gets too cold to enjoy, so I've been trying to be outside a little more and I changed my blog to welcome in the weather. In Georgia it usually only stays nice for a few weeks, so I'm trying to soak up the nice weather before dreadful winter shows it's ugly head.

First Tooth!!

Well, I'm not sure if you can see it good in the picture, but Levi has cut his first tooth! I believe that is why the thumb sucking has started. He has been a little cranky and whiny for the past week, so I'm glad the tooth finally came through. One down, only 19 or so to go!

Thumb Sucker

Since Levi was born I have had the philosophy that it would be better for him to be attached to a pacifier than his thumb. At least you can take the pacifier away when you are ready. The thumb is a little harder. Well, after much energy spent, that plan has failed...miserably. We were doing good up until this week. Now all he wants to do it suck his thumb. I am still trying to deter him from the thumb, but we'll see how it goes.

Happy Birthday Cara!

We just want to wish Cara a very happy 14th birthday! Hope it's a great one.

Laughter is the Best Medicine

Today Levi was a little whiny and irritable for most of the morning. I had gotten him to sleep several times, but when I would go to lay him down he kept waking up. Needless to say he needed a nap, and I was becoming a little frustrated. I was just about to lose my mind when I started making this silly sound and he just started laughing hysterically. I had to get it on video for you all to see. I guess it goes without saying that once he started smiling and laughing my frustrations melted away. Hope you all enjoy his little chuckle.

The Best Husband

I have the BEST husband ever! Yesterday morning I woke up with a fever of 102, a sore throat, and an earache. Aaron had to go to work, but took care of me and got me all settled with Levi before he headed out. As the day went on I began to feel better and my fever went back down to normal, but my throat was still quite sore. When Aaron left work he called to see if there was anything I needed. He stopped by the store and picked up some juice and gingerale. When he got home he made homemade chicken-n-dumplings for dinner. It was delicious! He had also bought me the book I Love You Stinky Face that I've been wanting to get for Levi. Jessica introduced me to the book and I've been wanting it ever since. Aaron was so thoughtful and helpful. He is the best. This morning my fever was back up to 100, so I'm going to the doctor this afternoon. It's nice to know that I have someone so loving and caring. I am truly blessed. I love you Aaron!
