Big Boy finds the oddest places to sleep, I guess he likes the warmth of the dryer. Even though it's hard to find a spot on there, since all misc. stuff winds up in that room. It's a junk magnet with a sleeping cat on it.

Levi is crawling

Here is a video of Levi crawling. I had to put the camera on the ground as an enticing item for him to grab. He's doing really well with the army crawl.

Levi was so cute on his blanket outside in the front yard tonight. I took about 100 pictures of him and a few turned out really well. I love his little smirk and his blue eyes.

Jefferson Makes Levi Belly Laugh

No one can make Levi laugh like his older brother Jefferson. It doesn't matter what he's doing, Levi will do HUGE belly laughs whenever Jefferson is doing something he thinks is funny. I love that joyful expression and his belly laughs make me forget about all the worries of life and remind me to live in the moment enjoying the laughter of my two boys.

The new "stop annoying Papa while he's on the phone" rule

I had to make a new rule tonight in the car. I was calling around to different stores to see what size kids bikes they had in stock. While I'm talking on the phone both Susan AND Jefferson are asking me questions: "Who are you calling?" "How late are they open?" "Do they have a bike with flames on it?" Finally I hung up the phone and told them there's a new rule, stop annoying Papa while he's on the phone. Jefferson immediately replied from the backseat, "Oh...I'm going to break that rule a couple hundred times". At which point Susan and I burst out laughing and couldn't stop.

Video of Levi from February

I'm a little late posting this, but here's some video we took of Levi in February.

Levi tries rice cereal for the first time

He starts out happy but then his facial expressions turn hilarious!!!! You should see his face after trying peas for the first time. I love that last slide, he looked at me with a desperate look that cried "help me".
