So, this is the week for teeth for Levi. He has been working on his four eye teeth for about 2 months I think and finally the top two have poked through. He has also been working on his 1 year molars for awhile. Yesterday I realized that along with the top 2 eye teeth, he has at least 2 more that have poked through. I say "I think" because it is difficult to see or feel inside his mouth. He is not real cooperative in this area. No wonder this child has been drooling so terribly. This might also explain the poor naps we have been having.
Other new Levi things:
*He knows where his hair, nose and belly button are and will point to them when you ask him.
*He really likes belly buttons and will pull up shirts on others as well to see their belly buttons. We're working on that!!
*When he is drinking a bottle (which we are almost through with), he likes to play with his belly button. He gets rather upset if he has on overalls and can't get to it.
*We were at the doctor on Monday for a well baby checkup and he is now 33 inches and 21.9 pounds. I knew he was growing well. He still has a difficult time keeping up his pants but at least I found some with the adjustable waist that helps.
Last night we were doing some shopping for birthday and baby things and Rachel was teasing him as we were talking with some friends in Kohl's. He said "stop" to her as clear as day.
This morning I went in to wake him up and he was standing on the floor next to his crib. I hope that this was just an accident or we are in for it! Rachel said she heard a big bump but just thought he was pounding on the wall.
We found out this week that Rachel and Levi and Lindsey and Lucas got first place in the Homecoming parade for best costume. They got a trophy. Levi wanted to hold it a lot!
We're off to a birthday party and some shopping today. Hoping to find a dress for me and maybe some options for bridesmaids. I hope you all have a blessed day!
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everthing that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Heb. 12:1

Wow! Levi is really growing tall! I know what you mean about keeping those little pants up. One of my goals for the weekend is to take in the waist on several of Eli's new pairs of pants. If this doesn't work, I guess I'll be looking for suspenders! :)
So fun to read all that Levi is doing be/c Nehemiah is doing all those same things and same words. I think they are the same in w/h also. And adjustable waist is a must!
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
We are enjoying some down time as our DHS classes are over.
