Gettin' Out of the Bath

So bathtime for Levi has jumped to a whole new level. He has graduated from his baby tub to the real thing. The only thing is is that he is also wanting to crawl everywhere, so guess what that means?! Yep, the boy wants to crawl all over in the tub. I usually let him explore around and he has actually gotten pretty good and not slipping down. Whenever he tries standing though, which he does almost every 5 seconds, I tell him "no" and sit him back down. So this goes on over and over and over for pretty much the whole bath time. Needless to say, Levi used to get really long baths and enjoy the play time. I really enjoyed this time, as it was 15 min. of my day that I too could relax and enjoy watching him play. Instead now...I tell him no over and over and tell him, Okay Levi, do it once more and mommy is getting you out. Poor boy doesnt know the word no YET, but we are working on it. So yes, his baths are fairly short!

I'll have to get a picture of him in the big tub...he is really funny. Daddy will have to be home for that though....that would be impossible to do without him here!

Another new thing that Levi gets to do after bathtime is play in his room without his clothes on. Yes, I am being daring to keep him without a diaper..but whats a little pee on the carpet gonna do?! He absolutely loves being naked and he loves getting into things. As you can see, he enjoys climbing up on the sweeper! I'll remember this when he is 15 someday and he doesnt want to clean his room!!!

Levi is a little explorer and is really fascinated with anything new. He loves pulling himself up and how can you resist these little blue eyes staring up at you?!!! He does this to me all day long...especially when I am trying to do the dishes. He will crawl over to me, climb up on my leg and give me those little sparkling pouty eyes!! And I can't resist so I pick him up! And I wonder why I always have dishes to do!! I love him so much!

wanna be just like my dad.....

So everytime I go to the store, I always check to see if they have any police clothes. I have found that it's real easy to find fireman stuff, but not so much on the police stuff. However this past week sure enough I found some police PJ's for Levi!! I was so excited! I bought size 18 month thinking I would save them for his birthday, but when I got home I realized that I just couldn't wait! And good thing, because they seem to fit him just right:)

Levi loves playing with his toys!

He thinks he's pretty hot stuff now that he can pull himself up!

Life around our house has definitely gotten more interesting lately. Levi is now crawling and he loves to explore new things! I love watching him play! He is growing so fast and I think he is determined to walk! He loves when you hold his hands and let him take steps forward!! He is laughing more and more everyday and he is beginning to discover that he can make me and Anthony laugh!

My cousin Peyton!

For the past few days, my Aunt Joanna and my cousin Peyton came to visit! We had a good time together and me and my mom and dad took them to the pool with all the fun stuff to do there! I think Peyton was a little scared at first, but I told him it would be okay. We also took a trip to the park and I let him ride with me in my wagon! I also showed him our dog and our cat. Peyton likes animals just like me.

Here's me and Peyton "wrasteling"

God got an angel today

God must have needed an angel today, and He's getting the best He could get.

This morning around 5 a.m. Carrie (Chivington) Roeth went home to meet Jesus. Please keep her family in your prayers. She battled cancer for 3 years and leaves behind her husband Justin and their 3 yr old son, Jacob. We'll all meet up with her again when this life ends. May her life be a reminder to us all that life is truely what the scriptures tell us...just a vapor....here one second and gone the next. She was a blessing to everyone she knew and a freind to all. We will miss you Carrie! We all know that God has you in charge of something in Heaven and you're already callin' out orders! We'll see ya later....

Falling Springs

Today we went to the big pool!!! The rec center where we sometimes (I should say used to) work out at as a great outdoor pool and today was our first trip there! It took Levi a while to figure out about all the noise and the people and the colors, but once he did, he had a blast!

Going down the big slide! Mommy took her turn to on the bigger slides! She had too much fun on those and even lost her sunglasses!

Anthony took Levi under the mushroom water fall.....he did NOT like that!

Poor Baby.....he did NOT like the waterfall!

Playin' with his toys!

Takin' a ride on the lazy river!

He loved swimmin' in the "deep end" and loved to hold on and have me jump up and down with him!

Passed out after having fun in the sun!! We all can't wait to go back again soon!

Swimming Pool Fun!

We got out Levi's little swimming pool again! This time he had a blast. You could tell that he was more comfortable this time as he would get on his knees and try to crawl in the water!

A few more things....

We got out the pool one day when Grandma was here!

This was the day Levi was feeling well. He layed on the couch and watched his Baby Einstein video for a little while

Here is me and Levi all ready for church. Notice the shoes he is wearing. Thanks Grandma Gheen!! How long did they last on his feet?? I think oh about the first 5 min. at church! :) Pretty good for the first time. When we got home we put Levi on the kitchen floor and sat his shoes beside him. You would of thought he was just given the greatest toy of all time. He studied them and stared at them, and then did was he does the best...picked them up and kissed them all over!

MMMMMMM, Grandma, that sure does look good? Can I have a bite PLEASE?!?!?
