Weekend in Richmond

Went went to Richmond last weekend for the first time since christmas. We had such a fun weekend with Brian's family! Brian took half of the day off on Friday so we could get out of town early. It was a gorgeous 80 degree day, so Brody had a great evening playing outside with his cousins! On saturday we went to the Richmond Metro Zoo with Meme, Poppy, Uncle Adam, Aunt Tracy, and the cousins:) Brody had a great time running around, seeing all of the animals, and feeding the Giraffes! And Levi snoozed away in the stroller!




On sunday we had the privilege of dedicating Levi at the church where Brian's dad pastors. We dedicated Brody there too when he was around this age. We love our boys and are committed to raising them in a home centered around Christ! And where they grow up knowing that their parents love the Lord and want that for them too one day. Levi looked pretty cute i must say:)




On our way home from VA, the SWEETEST thing happened. Brody loves having Levi right next to him in the car. He is constantly talking to him and entertaining him. It was the boys naptime, so i told Brody he couldnt talk to Levi or play with him. Brody said "well can i just hold his hand?" so i told him as long as he sat still and was quiet he could hold Levi's hand while they went to sleep. They fell asleep holding hands and stayed that way, the entire trip. SO SWEET!

Levi's Big Week

This week has been a huge week for little Levi! He has started doing so many new things. Last weekend he rolled over from back to tummy for the first time...and now he is rolling all over the place! Which also means we now have a tummy sleeper:) Then on Tuesday our little guy started sitting up by himself! Why does that make them seem so grown up?! Hes been having so much fun! Its like hes in a whole new world now....sitting up and playing with toys. Brody loves it too...i think he now sees Levi as a playmate:)

6 months

Happy 6 months to the sweetest little guy on the planet!! My baby is 6 months old today. I dont know how to put into words how seriously sweet this child is! He smiles at anyone who looks at him and has the most adorable laugh:) Seriously the only time he cries is when he is falling to sleep (for about 2 minutes). PRECIOUS...is the best word to describe him:) He loves his big brother to death, and lights up the minute he sees him! Levi is starting to show signs of wanting to sit up by himself, but he isnt quite there. He is consistently sleeping through the night now from 8:00-6:30! Hes been doing this for about a month now. He stopped eating in the middle of the night around 10 weeks, but has always been a light sleeper and would wake up several times at night and had a hard time going back to sleep on his own. It took us moving him to his own room (which is upstairs), some crying, and a humidifier in his room (thanks, Erin) for this to finally happen! We started rice cereal with him at 4 1/2 months and just started some baby food a couple of weeks ago. I took him for his 6 month checkup yesterday. He weighs 17.1 pounds (50th percentile) and is 28 inches long (90th percentile). Hes definitely a little guy compared to what his big brother was like at this age! Brody weighed 21 lbs 2 oz and was 29.5 inches long. In fact Brody was bigger at 4 months old than Levi is at 6 months:) I think every parent wonders how in the world they are going to love their 2nd child as much as their first....oh i now see what a silly thing that is to worry about! My boys are my world and i love them more than life!
