Nothing is Safe!!

That is Bathroom tissue on the ground behind Levi. A whole Double roll to be exact.

My cabinet is a place of joy. He killed a twinkie he found in there today.
Papers and coupons are NEVER safe.

Levi's 16 month check up!

At Levi's latest check up, he weighed 24 lbs., 6 oz., and was 32 inches long. He says the words: momma, dada, cat, puppies ( his favorite book), yeah, up, down, book, more, uh-oh and ball. He is walking 8-15 steps before falling down, and can get up without holding on to anything. He is down to one nap most days, and sleeps really well. He sleeps from 7-8 p.m. to about 5:30-7:00 a.m. He has most of his teeth (just got one this week!), and is just starting table food. He loves cheese, and yogurt! He like pasta, green beans, mandrian oranges, bread, cereal, and he knows what chocolate is now!



If other kids are around he loves playing with them! If mommy leaves while he is playing with other kids- he doesn't even care! He likes dancing, and loves bouncing around with mommy while she's exercising!. His favorite book is called Elmo's world: Puppies. He hates not being in the bathroom while mommy or daddy are in there. He has learned to turn lights off, and can get off of couches and beds. He learned to go down the stairs.

One funny thing about Levi is he carries a baby spoon around everywhere. He will not let it go! He also likes to steal his daddy's toothbrush and carry it around in his mouth! Patrick is so grossed out by this. Levi also loves to drink from my cup. He always leaves the most disgusting floaties in it, so once he gets a drink, it's his cup.

Levi is getting into everything. He is always pulling things out of cabinets. He loves unwrapping toliet paper, and pulling wipes out of containers. He loves baths, loves running away in the middle of diaper changes. He has started blowing bubbles on my skin ( I blame his dad!) and laughs so much! He loves playing peek-a -boo, and eats everything! I have so much trouble trying to figure out if he is full because he will never stop eating! He just keeps putting things in his mouth.

My boys!

Here we are at the Fall Festival! Thank you Levi for opening the doors to Halloween candy to us once again!

Levi's First Pumpkin

Levi loved sticking his hand into our pumpkin(he gets that from me)! We had a great time making our pumpkin this year!

Levi's Halloween!

I've had Levi's costume for two months and I was so excited he would finally get to wear it! After all that waiting, I finally put it on him to go to a friend's party. He was NOT happy! He hated it! The hood with the ears ( the cutest part) was the part he of course hated the most!

Levi is getting so big!

Levi and I were at Nana Trainor's and having some fun. We both have a good time when I crawl over the top of him while he's crawling.


Levi found this dog toy at Nana Trainor's that he LOVED. If I wanted him to lay still so I could change him, stop running towards that stairs, stop biting things, or attacking the dog, I gave him this toy.

Ahhhhh Levi riding his first dog. Classic. Please don't show this to PETA.

Taking the L train and seeing sights in Chicago!

Levi was a really good baby on the train! He only cried at 11 p.m. at night when we were driving back to our hotel from the L station.

Bennihahas!

In Chicago we went to Bennihahas. It was really fun and our chef tried to keep Levi's attention, but Levi was fascinated by the chopsticks.

Aiden and Levi

While we were in Chicago on Patrick's business trip, my sister came to see us and brought Aidey- bear!

Levi's 1st Cub Game

On Patrick's business trip to Chicago, we took Levi to his first game at Wrigley field. The ball game was awesome! The field was really fun to be at. They have bleachers on top of buildings across the street where people can watch the game!

We had our first foot long Chicago hot dog!

Leviis already great at clapping for his team the Cubbies!

Levi and his Playdates

Haha! What a face!!

Levi is a pretty mellow kid and gets invited to a lot of play dates. Here he is at the Osborne's house with his pal David. They really are both very chill babies.

Dressing up in daddy's shirt!!

I don't know why we decided to put Levi in a shirt way to big for him, but it made for some great funny pictures!!

How can people only have 1 kid when they see pictures of their baby doing funny stuff like this?

Patrick has been messing around with our nw camera learning how to take amazing pictures.

Levi was so sweaty in these pictures his hair is everywhere!

It's Been Soooo Long!

I have been a really bad mommy and haven't been updating like I should! So here is the first installment of a long list of things we have been up too! Our friends Emily, Lucas, and Eli came over for a barbeque. Eli posed for the camera with what his mom called his "Sexy Man" pose.



Our babies are getting so old! As you can see in the background, Levi is crawling like a champ now! He began crawling right after my last blogging entry, which explains why I felt like I had no time to blog!

Funny picture of Rachel

Rachel let me put fairy makeup on her. Hehehehehehee

Levi's Big Day!

We had a very big day today! Nana and Grandpa Trainor are here today. We went to the the science museum and we went to a buffet for the first time. Levi had mashed potatoes for the first time and made an absolute mess! He pulled up to standing postion all by himself today, and started creeping using his legs! He also chewed on mommy's ear and daddy's face for the first time. It was a very good day today!

Levi's first watermelon

I put some watermelon in a baby food strainer and gave it to Levi. He loved the juice, so I cut the watermelon into tiny pieces for him to feed himself, and he hated it! The look on his face when I stuck the first piece in his mouth was classic! He took the pieces of watermelon and threw them over the side of his tray!

My funny little man!

Hahaha! You have to watch this turkey! He gets around now!

I love how Levi sprawls out to sleep!
