Eat, Drink and Be Scary Ball

Mommy and Daddy (aka Cleopatra and Hercules) attended the Eat, Drink and Be Scary Ball benefiting Sammy's House this evening along with some of their good friends. Ms. Angie (aka Priscilla Presley) was the chair and I don't know about you, but to me it looks like they had a great time while raising a lot of money for a very good cause.

Quality Time

There's nothing better than a netflix movie streaming on the ipad for baby Levi and I to enjoy together.

Meeting Von Miller

This weekend,we played the Baylor Bears and won! Our Aggie, Von Miller, now plays for the Denver Broncos and was the honorary team captain for this game. When we were walking to our car after the game, we saw him and he took a picture with us. Gig 'Em, Von!

The Pumpkin Patch

One of the churches here has a great pumpkin patch each year as a fundraiser. We love to go and play in the pumpkins, touch the pumpkins, take pictures in the pumpkins and then pick out special ones to bring home with us to carve. This year, I didn't want to cooperate because I was tired so this is what mommy was able to capture on 'film' to commemorate Levi's first pumpkin patch experience.

Happy Birthday, Sofia and Bella!

Our sweet friends, Sofia and Bella, had a joint birthday party today because their mommy is expecting twin girls in a couple of weeks and she didn't want to miss a party! So, we had a fun day at the park complete with a petting zoo and train. We were supposed to have the party last weekend but get this - after all summer with no rain and 105+ degree weather - it rained!! Bittersweet I suppose because we need the rain in a bad way but the party had to be postponed. It was a much better weekend for it though so I think it worked out for the best.

Levi's big boy crib

Well, it's official. Levi is in his big boy crib and no longer in mommy and daddy's room. The cradle he's been sleeping in is getting too small and so mommy thought she'd transition him to his room upstairs over the next week or so. No transition needed! He went to bed straight away and never made a peep. Truth be told, mommy would have put him up here a week or so ago but she's been really afraid of what I might do. She's had monitors for us when we were little but for Levi, she went out and bought a video monitor to not really watch Levi, but to watch me and make sure I left him alone. He he - I'm sure I'll figure out a way around that one. Welcome to your new room, Levi Love.

Levi is 5 months old

Today you're 5 months old and each day, you get to be more fun. You're starting to find your voice and we can tell you're going to be a talker. Maybe not as much as Tatie, but you'll definitely be able to hold your own. You're getting more control with your head and body and aren't as wobbly as you were even a week or so ago. Hands! Wow - you've discovered them and they're becoming very useful when you want to reach out for a toy or pull the pacifier from your mouth 100 times. You haven't yet discovered your feet but will soon enough. Tate and Tripp are a bit more entertaining to you and they've been able to get you to laugh on more than one occasion. Tate still tends to be a little rough but little man, I promise we're working on that. She just loves you so much! She always wants to hold you and kiss you and feed you and just love on you. You're a lucky little boy. Drool is constant and you're always chewing on your hands. I don't see any teeth budding yet but maybe it's coming sooner than I expect. I feel like I've lost a battle with a water fountain most days with you but I'll take the slobbery 'kiss' any day of the week. You're sleeping through the night from 7 to 7 for the most part and do pretty well with your naps - unless Ms. Connie has you. She doesn't make you take naps because she says you're 'not tired'. Ah, we love Ms. Connie. Overall, you're a laid back little fellow and I love seeing your happy little face each day. I look forward to watching you grow and figure out this world around you - all while loving you with all of my heart. It's been a great 5 months!
Love,
Mommy.
