Finally, an update

I've been pretty bad about updating the blog lately, and as a result our faithful blog followers are dwindling. So for the two of you still checking the blog, this post is for you.

Levi is doing great. He is eating cereal now and loves it. We're feeding it to him twice a day and he can't seem to get enough. Tomorrow we're going to start with veggies and then eventually fruits as well. He absolutely loves to eat.

No thanks Mom, I can do it myself.

He hasn't quite learned to chew with his mouth closed yet.

Levi is also learning new noises. The other night Courtney was feeding him and I walked into the room. He got real happy (as he does whenever he sees me, Dad is the best) and he started making a 'da' sound. Over and over and over again....dadadadadadada. So I was convinced he was saying dada. But of course he does not say it on command, and since then has only done it a couple of times. The other noise he has been making is a farting sound, which the video below helps illustrate.


I thought we had a little while longer before the fart noises started...

Everything else is going well. Prince is losing weight and super-active now that he is taking pills for hypo-thyroid. Apparently he wasn't all "grown up" like we thought, he just had a hormone imbalance that made him fat and lazy. Courtney is getting geared up to start grad school again and has been trying to finalize her internship location, which is supposed to start in August. I have been buried at work because our team has gone from 7 to 3 people since July, and our workload has not decreased. Additionally, being on-call every 3 weeks (instead of 7) has not been very much fun for anyone in the house. Most nights when I'm on-call we get woken up by Levi and the phone multiple times. But I am fortunate to have a great job so I won't complain...much.

On a lighter note, pitchers and catchers report this week, so Tigers baseball is almost upon us. After the putrid Lions and disappointing Pistons, it'll be a nice change of pace to watch another underachieving Detroit team. Let's hope the summer of '09 goes a little better for the Tigers (and their devoted fans!) than last summer did.

And since I've got nothing else, enjoy some more pictures of Levi.

All dressed up in his little moose sweater-vest.

Levi is always happy when he's almost naked.
Let's be honest though, who isn't?

Yes, those are mini man boobs you see.

There's nothing better than kicking back, wearing a green loin cloth,
eating a rubber ducky, and having someone else bathe you.

Most 6 month olds don't need a blow dryer for their hair,
but then again, most 6 month olds don't have a mop like this kid.

I guess I'm one of your faithful readers. :o) I have your blog on my live bookmarks, so I see when you've updated without having to actually visit your site repeatedly.

I was giggling right along with Levi's new sound, as was Alexander who is here with me. We also have very recent memories of Ethan blowing raspberries over and over and over until his chin and shirt front are covered in spit. Not so funny then, but the baby still thinks so, which makes it kind of funny in spite of the gross and mess. Kind of.

Have a good week. Courtney, what are you going to study in grad school?

Stephanie and Alexander
