Happy Labor Day!

It's been a couple weeks since we've updated our blog (I know what you're thinking...Thanks, Captain Obvious). For whatever reason having a kid seems to take up all the free time you used to have. Who knew?

The last couple of weeks have been pretty good. Courtney and I enjoyed watching the Olympics when they were on, although if I hear another story about Michael Phelps I might throw up. I love watching track and field because it reminds me of high school when I was actually fast and in shape. It's amazing to me that in the 200 meter dash these guys are about 4 seconds faster than I was in high school. 4 seconds!! It seems like such a small amount of time, but in actuality I'd probably be making the turn when they were crossing the finish line. Watching the Olympics can be pretty inspiring and it makes you want to get out there and get in shape. It didn't take with me though, because about the only thing I could compete for a gold medal in would be an ice cream eating contest.

Aside from the Olympics, Levi has been keeping our lives pretty busy. He is getting bigger and much more awake and alert. He really enjoys his playmat and looking at all the hanging animals and lights. He has been sleeping through the night pretty regularly too.....a nice birthday gift for mom and dad! He's definitely a people-person and prefers to be held as opposed to being left in his bouncey seat or swing. He seems pretty strong too and often tries to stand when I am holding him up. I have a feeling he'll be moving all around the house before too long....better enjoy this time before he is mobile. We'll have to update the blog more often, because there have been about a zillion cute pictures since the last time. And since those of you reading this care much more about pictures of the baby than what is going on with us, I won't keep you waiting any longer. Enjoy!!

Levi decided to practice his senior picture poses on our friend Melissa.

I asked Levi for advice before my fantasy football draft, but all he did was looked at me and messed his diaper.

It gets pretty tiring being a baby...

I hope he doesn't have eye damage from all the flash photography...

Mom and Levi looking good as usual.

I know he looks like an angel, but I promise he actually cries. A lot.

I think Levi liked Prince as a Hairy Boppy. Prince had no idea what to do so he tried to remain as motionless as possible.

Levi is really starting to enjoy bath time....he didn't cry the entire time!

And afterward he was even smiling in his towel!

Levi enjoyed his first Freed family photo shoot.

Mom and Levi taking a Sunday afternoon nap. They're both super excited about the NFL starting this week!!

Levi and Prince were exhausted after a fun Labor Day at Grandma and Grandpa Chapins.
