Colt meets Grandpa Delimpo and Great Grandma!

A few days ago, Grandpa Delimpo and Great Grandma Delimpo came for a visit. It was their first time meeting Colt so that was fun! Anthony had to work one of the days they were here, so the rest of us went out to Panera for dinner. Despite the cooler wet weather, we still managed to play outside a lot and go on walks. They stayed at a hotel since we no longer have room in our house to have people stay with us. It worked out well that way. Colt got lots of new outfits from Grandpa and Miss Carol (his wife) and from Great Grandma and from Great Aunt Kathy, and Levi got some new books and toys and an outfit too! We had a wonderful visit with them...Levi woke up the next morning and was asking when they were coming back!

My 2 children!

Colt trying to lift his head up! He has certainly changed a lot this past week. He is lifting his head up more and more and his eye contact is getting a lot better! He really follows Levi around with his eyes. Levi likes to dance for him and Colt will watch. Colt has started to make a few ooo sounds, but nothing much. He did sleep through the night last night (9:45 p.m. till 5 a.m. this morning, and actually I had to wake him up at 5 to feed him....I wonder how much longer he would have gone!) So maybe he is in a growth spurt right now and needs the extra rest! I'm certainly not complaining! I can't beleive that in 4 days, he will be a month old! Time is FLYING by!!!!

Yesterday I had layed Colt down on the ground in the living room and I stepped out into the kitchen to get Levi a drink. I was only gone for a few seconds when Levi came out and said.. "Mommy--I jump over baby Colt!!!!!" I instantly ran into the room to make sure Colt was okay and he was, but as I did, Levi sprinted past me and jumped him again! I told myself that's the first and last time I leave Colt on the ground without me right there beside him!

And then this morning I put Colt in his bouncer and left the room for a second only to come back to find Levi bouncing his brother as if he was trying to blast him off into outer space! I said, "LEVI!!! EASY!!! Colt likes to be rocked EASY!!" to which he replied, "No Mommy- Colt likes BIG ONES!"

Okay, and then last week, as I was fixing dinner (Anthony was at work) I had Colt in the kitchen with me when Levi ran out into the garage. It wasn't too long until I heard the loudest crash ever! I ran out into the garage to find Levi laying underneath a shelf with tools all around him and all over the ground! I had tied the door open with some string attached to the shelf. It was really windy out that day and Im guessing the wind blew the door shut just as Levi was walking by I guess! The shelf was somewhat stopped by Anthony's John Deere, but Levi was definitely trapped underneath. He was scared, and got a bump on the side of his head, but other than that, he was fine! It took me a long time to get everything cleaned up, but I managed. When I called Anthony to tell him about the accident, all he wanted to know was that his John Deere was okay! Thanks alot dad!!!!!!!!!!!

I certainily have my hands full!!! Never a dull moment in our household that's for sure!

One more quick story-about Levi. Last night he was riding in his truck when I told him to stay off of daddy's grass. He said, okay and took off. He went straight for the grass. So I stood up and marched over to him. I said, "Levi, this is the last time I am going to tell you...stay out of daddys grass!" I said, "Do you hear me?" He replied, "Yes Mommy" I said, "Okay, what did I say then?" He said, "Stay out of daddy's grass!" I said, "Yes, and if you go in the grass one more time, I am taking away your truck for the night, do you hear me?" To which he replied, "YES SIR" as he saluted me! I seriously lost it!!!! I'm not sure where that came from, but he was so serious as he did it!
