It's Football Season!!

This past Sunday was an unofficial holiday for me as the NFL season got underway. Luckily for me Levi slept through the first 2-1/2 hours of the games, but then we just played and watched the rest of the games. Even though the Lions got blown out and both my fantasy football teams lost, it was still a great day.

Things are going well. Courtney is doing her internship at Dansville schools and is enjoying it. I have the opportunity to get Levi ready in the mornings now and I get to drop him off at daycare. It's certainly hard to get used to waking up earlier every morning but I'll survive. Prince is pretty bummed out because his routine morning walks are pretty much done. As if he needed any more reason to dislike Levi...

Levi is doing well. He continues to make us laugh and marvel as he learns new things. He also makes us shake our heads in frustration with some of his actions, but that's just kids I guess. Some of his new things are:

* Says "papa" when he sees a picture of Grandpa Terry or Grandpa Chapin.
* Touches his teeth when you ask him "where are your teeth?".
* Says "duck" when he sees his rubber ducky in the bathtub (or pretty much any bird).
* Loves wearing his new tennis shoes and even says "shoes".
* Wants to hold the spoon/fork when we're feeding him and tries to feed himself.
* Loves pushing the button to close the garage door.
* Loves playing outdoors and especially picking up leaves (hopefully he'll like to rake someday??).
* Says "baabaa" when looking at my bobblehead collection...I swear he's trying to say "bobblehead".

That's all for now. Enjoy the pictures!!

Remember this for the future kid...never let Dad style your hair.
