Wisconsin Trip Day 2




Today one of my cousins came over with her little guy who was born 2 days after Levi. Levi quickly found Ben's sippy cup, which is exactly like his, and wouldn't let it go. Both boys are really good at sticking out their lower lips when they are upset. At one point, we had both of them with their lower lips out at the same time. It was funny! Of course, they didn't really play together but rather side by side.




Rachel and Levi had this little game they would play. She would come up to the screen house door on the outside and pound on it and then put her face to it and then he would do the same. It was so cute! Boy does this boy love his sister!

We took Levi to ShopKo to get his birthday present from grandpa and grandma. He got a cozy coupe. While we were waiting for grandma to check out, he started playing peek-a-boo with me. I would say, "Where's Levi?" and he would cover his eyes. And then take them away and I would say, "There he is!" I'm definitely going to have to get this on video.

Yesterday was my parent's 45th wedding anniversary. Happy Anniversary mom and dad and congratulations! In this day and age, that is quite an accomplishment. We went out to eat as a family at a Chinese restaurant. Then we came back and had had ice cream birthday cake for Levi's birthday/mom and dad's anniversary. We sang to him again and he stood amazed once again.
