6 Months!!!

OK, so I'm a little late. Sorry, life gets pretty busy sometimes. A couple of weekends ago, I had the opportunity to travel to Chicago and spend the weekend with some of my best friends from college: Dan Kakish, Craig Childs, Brad Habegger, Shaun Peters, and Aaron Duke. We all stayed at Kakish's bachelor pad and spent the weekend playing video games, telling old stories (that never seem to get old), laughing, drinking...umm...pop, and smoking the hooka (not Brad or Aaron, of course). I wish there were pictures from the weekend, but you'll have to take my word that it was a really fun time.

While I was gone, Courtney held down the fort without me. Thankfully her family helped a lot by watching Levi, plowing the driveway, and hanging out with her while I was away. She also got to watch a couple of movies that I would never see: Mamma Mia and High School Musical. So I guess we both had a good weekend.

Mommy let Levi watch High School Musical.
Not sure what I think about that...

Last week Levi had his 6 month check-up. Everything went well, thanks for asking. He was 17 pounds exactly (40th percentile) and 25-5/8 inches long (20th percentile). It is amazing to us how much he has grown already...they really do grow up fast!!

...and here he is, 6 months later!

On Sunday we took Levi in to get his 6 month pictures done. Like all new parents, we went overboard and got way too many pictures. It was hard to decide because they were all so darn cute. So, if you want a picture, just let us know...we have plenty to spare!

Practicing his mischievous look.

Either Levi really shrunk or that is a huge rubber ducky.

As for Levi, he continues to grow and develop. His newest favorite things to do are sitting up all on his own (except for the occasional face plant), sucking on his toes (yes, its as gross as it sounds), and grabbing anything he can get his hands on (including hair). He continues to bring joy and excitement to our lives. We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful little man!

He's smiling because he knows he's in perfect position to eat his toe jam.
