Thanksgiving 2009

This year we stayed home and had our own little Thanksgiving. It was such a nice and relaxing day. I prepared the side dishes in the morning so it was ready to go and Chris made the turkey. I love that!! We played Super Mario Brothers for most of the day..it was great!! Chirs' family is visiting for the weekend and then Chris is back to work. I am bummed. Looking forward to celebrating Levi's first birthday next week!!!

Eleven Months Old

Levi has less than one month until he is one!! That sounds crazy to me!! He has been standing by himself lately and decided to take his first steps last week...says dada, mama and all done!! He pushes cars on the floor and makes funny car mumbles. He loves his bottles and bananas. I can't wait to celebrate his first birthday!!

The pictures this month were a bit hard to take as they are every month but he is sick. He had a fever of 102 and has an ear infection in both ears. He is starting to feel better but was not a very happy little guy on Thursday. He woke up at 4:30 and I thought maybe he was hungry so I gave him a bottle and we went back to sleep but he woke up pretty quick after that and kept whining and whimpering. He didn't want me to set him down. He threw up later on in the morning the first time ever!! I felt so bad for him. He is on antibiotics so that seems to be helping. He's feeling a bit better now but don't touch his ears!! YIKES!!

How I Keep Busy

This is how I spend my days...I call him my little tornado!! He goes from room to room making messes but at least it keeps me busy!!

First Steps

Levi took his first steps on Wednesday!!! I think you can hear the excitement in the video!! He isn't walking yet but he sure is close...I love watching him crawl anyway!!!

My Love

Happy Halloween

For Halloween this year we had a big weekend. On Friday we went to our church for a Fall Carnival. They had a lot of fun kids games and Sammy of course loved getting candy. They had a magician but we didn't stay for that. The kids were starting to get tired so we went home. On Saturday we went to my friends house for a Boo-tastic baby party. It was nice to visit with some ladies :) After that we headed home and got ready for some trick or treating!! Chris stayed home and put Levi to bed and I took Sammy out to get some candy. He was so cute and so excited!!! He said trick or treat every time and wasn't shy at all!! He got some pretty good loot!!!

Sammy decided he wanted to be Dash after watching The Incredibles...so since I couldn't find a Jack Jack costume for Levi I made a shirt with the logo on it. They both looked so cute but neither one of them like wearing the mask. I tried to get some cute pictures of them :)

Pumpkins Pumpkins

We decided to carve our pumpkins and now I decided that I hate doing it!! It is so messy and gross. It was really hard with Levi on the move...he gets into everything and it is hard to pick him up when your hands are full of guts!! I helped the boys clean out the pumpkins but I never actually carved mine!! Levi just wanted to eat his!!!
