Carving Pumpkins

The girls carved pumpkins last night! 

Emma did hers all by herself and Lauren did about 80% by herself (Dad helped).

I sat, coached, rocked, nursed and patted.



Levi outgrew his "Mommy's Handsome Valentine" outfit that Kristen gave us at the baby shower.  It was funny because she knew it wouldn't fit by Valentine's day, but it was on clearance so she bought it anyway.  It was one of my favorite gifts that day.

Chunky Monkey/Handsome Valentine

SOOOOO CUTE!!!

Dad gets home either after 7 or after 8 many days of the week.  He can't wait to hold his baby and baby loves sleeping on his dad.

Love that smile!  He smiles at me when I'm changing his diaper in the middle of the night in the dark.  It's so cute!  I inevitably start laughing or cooing back at him despite my intentions to teach him that it's not play time.

Naked Levi at 5 Weeks

Raise your hand if you love a good, naked baby picture?  You're welcome. 


Naked tummy time.  Look at his chunky, loose skin!  So cute.

A more dignified picture.  This is Levi at 5 weeks old!

A Visit from Aunt Kristen, Etc.



This was a couple weeks ago.  Almost a smile.  He's smiling regularly now...we just never have a camera around when he's doing it!

 

Guess who was the star of Show and Tell last week?

More Show and Tell...kids were told they could look, but not touch.

Kristen and Oliviana came to meet Levi last weekend!  We had fun.  They brought some really cute outfits and spent lots of time holding Levi.

Oliviana wanted to hold Levi nonstop!  She'll have even more fun with him when he's more portable and more adventurous.





Another Levi Video

Levi is a month old!  He's smiling more and more.  He weighs 11 pounds, 2 ounces as of Thursday.  He had a really bad diaper rash thing this week.  He had some little sores on his bum chums right where the poop comes out.  He would scream bloody murder every time he farted or pooped because it stung so bad (because he squirts when he farts).  I used maximum strength Desitin, but it didn't do anything.  I took him to the doctor where we got some prescription cream for him.  He's doing a lot better now.  Made for a couple of really horrible nights.  I only had 2 hours of broken up sleep Wednesday night, so Landon called a sub. on Thursday and stayed home with me.  I told him I'd survive, but I was sobbing while I was telling him how "fine" I was.  He didn't listen to me, and I really appreciated the help that day!  He went grocery shopping, got gas in the van, and held the baby so I could sleep for an hour or so.  He's such a good husband!

Here's a random video I took on Wednesday.  He's just chillin', because that's all he knows how to do.

I wish I had more time to add more pictures, but even as I'm writing this Levi is sucking the heck out of his hands waiting for me to feed him.  Gotta go.
