Mr. Independant

Well, since Michael is busy trying to get Levi to fall asleep, I am having post on the blog today. We are having a not so co-operative day. I think Levi is going through a growth spurt and therefor has been fussy ALL day! But then it's all ok cause he has really cute moments like in this video...


Yeah how can you be mad when he does stuff like that. Somehow his hours of crying and fussing magically goes away in a very instant. He can make you really tired and emotionally drained and then with one little smile, or even just a look he melts your heart. He is 6 weeks old now and is starting to stay up alot more during the day which makes me hopeful for lots of sleep at night. He has yet to sleep the whole night, but he has allowed me to have 5 hours at a time. (this has only happened about 3 times haha, but it's still amazing!)

Michael has just successfully put Levi to sleep!! I tried everything I could and then I gave up and gave him to Michael and he decided to play classical music and boom the kid is knocked out. Why did I not think of that?? Oh well at least he's asleep. But now it's time for us to go to bed as well.(at 9:00!!!!) It's been a long day.

Sunday Football

So its been a while since I last posted something. It has been a busy last few weeks. Levi was introduced to his Aunt Amy and we took a pretty fun family trip. We had a great time with Amy here and she took some amazing pictures of our little family. Check her out at amy lashelle photography. She does amazing work and would love to pen you in for a photo shoot.

As for Levi he is doing GREAT. He is so big and is growing everyday. He is now starting to hold his head up and look around. He likes to fix his eyes upon this picture we have in our living room. He will stare at that for minutes upon minutes. He is starting to put himself to sleep while sitting in his bouncer or even his bed. Janelle has been luck lately that he has been sleeping about 5 hours a night. Let me tell you a rested up mom means a happy mom :) we all like that. Levi has also been starting to smile at us, which is really cool by the way. I don't know what the smiles mean but they are smiles non the less. He has also been staying up during the day and will just talk and talk. More like make noises but we call it talking.

While Amy was here we went to San Jose to watch Uncle Billy run a half marathon. That was a lot of fun. I was able to run the last 3 miles with him and get all the free food of someone who ran the whole thing. Then after the run we hung out with bill in SJ. Then after that we went to San Francisco to have dinner with Janelle's Aunts and Uncle. We went to a great restaurant in the Fairy Building. It was really fun. Levi during the whole day, slept. That's it. It was really nice for us that day but the next day he was not a happy camper. He was a little upset that he was locked up in the car seat all day. But that's apart of traveling with little ones.

Today Levi and I are watching some football. It is over cast out and cold and just the perfect day to watch football with my son. He is a Colts fan. i am very proud of him for the choice.

Great week so far

So this week Levi met his Aunt Amy :) She came from Utah to see that little guy and brought him 2 onesies that say number 1 Utah fan and Utah football. He wore them both in the same day. We have been having such a great time with amy this week. The girls and Levi went to the mall to go shopping for mom's birthday. Today we went on a walk down at dry creek. I don't have any new picture for this post but amy, being the great photographer she is, taking some great shots. So when I get those I will put some of them up.

Last night Levi slept for 5 HOURS. It was a little piece of heaven. Janelle is well rested and is feeling good these days. Also Levi is starting to focus on things that are close to him. Like he will look into your eyes and try to figure out what they are. But things that are in the distance he still can't focus. In time he will. But that's all this time just had to tell you guys about our weekend and that he is sleeping great. Next post will have pictures and maybe a video.
