Martha Mommy

Mommy signed up for a cookie decorating class just in time for Christmas cookie making! She said she'd go learn all the tricks to great decorating and we would make some together this season. We were very proud of mommy for her 'skills' but I don't think we'll be making cookies anytime soon - or I should say decorating cookies anytime soon. She now understands why decorated cookies are usually $3 or more a piece! Oh well, at least it was a fun evening for her and a very yummy treat for us!

Fancy GIrl!

It's always fun playing in mommy's closet. Just about every day, I take out all of her skirts, necklaces and heels and dress up. I have so much fun twirling around and pretending to be a beautiful princess. Today was no exception.

Rain???!!!

If you've heard anything about Texas, you'll know that we've been in a serious drought with no real rain to speak of. This morning, we woke up to a fabulous rain storm and had to test out our new raincoats and rain boots from Grammy. We're happy to announce that they worked perfectly and kept us super dry while playing in the rain. Bring on the rain!!

Food, Glorious, Food!

Since birth, my baby has only had milk to eat.....until now! He started food today and although he wasn't too sure of it at first, I think he decided he loved it! I can't wait to see all of the fun things he likes to eat. I'm sure mac & cheese will be his favorite, just like me.

Levi is 6 months

Little man -
We're already at the 6 month mark! What fun we're having and how big you're getting - all too fast. So, are you up to this month? Rolling over is old news to you and it sure makes nap time a bit more interesting because when you're on your tummy, you think it's play time. I can't complain because although I may have to take a couple more trips to your room to make sure you're asleep, you're still a great sleeper and sleep through the night like a champ. Your grabbing at things and trying to scoot a bit to get what you want. I have this sneaking suspicion that once you're crawling, you'll be more trouble than Tripp and Tate were. Your personality shows more and more each day and I have no doubt you'll be able to hold your own against your siblings - especially your sister. But, as I always tell you, she sure loves her baby! Talking is a new hobby of yours and you talk non-stop. I love the babbling sound and love the smiles that accompany it. At your doctor's visit this month you are 27.25 height (75th percentile) and 16.2 weight (30th). We're about to start real food so I'm sure that will fatten you up by your 9 month visit. I love seeing your precious face each day and the unconditional love you show. Thank you for being my sweet boy and I can't wait to see what fun the coming months bring!

Love,
Mommy

Weekend of Parties

It was a beautiful weekend and we had 2 fun parties to attend - one for my friend and one for Tripp's. We started at a petting zoo party in the morning and my favorite was the the pony rides. Very fun and dignified, if you ask me. Later in the afternoon, we went to JP's party in the park where everyone had to bring nerf guns and wear camo. Picture about 20 boys with nerf guns loose with targets and trails to maneuver. No one was safe but they had the best time ever. Happy birthday to our sweet friends!
