Levi was 6 mo old on April 19th. He is definitely my sweet little boy! He's so funny too. He loves to lay on his back and play and coo. He rolls all around the room, and doesn't sit still. He squirms and rolls and kicks constantly. I have a feeling that when he starts crawling, I'll be a very busy momma! He knows how to sit up, but it's a bit dangerous... he seems to be under the impression that when he's sitting up, if he throws his head back REALLY hard, he'll suddenly be standing up. Instead, of course, he just hits his head REALLY hard against the ground and gets boo-boos. :( So... while practicing sitting up, I must either sit behind him, or put the bumbo behind him to prevent concussions and major head injuries. ;)
We have been in MN, so we have not had his 6 mo check up yet... I'm looking forward to see how much he weighs... he's feeling quite heavy lately!! I took the below picture on the 17th, 2 days before he turned 6 mo... because we took him to MN, and I didn't want to forget!
Our trip to MN was so fun! I sooo enjoyed getting to see all of my family, and my close friend Michelle. It was really relaxing, and I got to go to all of the places I really missed.
My friend Michelle in front of our past favorite hangout... which we both worked at.. Caribou Coffee!
Me and my kids with her sweet family.
Madi and Emma. Emma is 5... and about 4 feet tall! :)
Levi and my sweet Aunt Karri
Levi and my cousin Ethan
Levi and Gigi
Madi opening her birthday present from her Auntie Dawn and Uncle Paul. She got a Madeline doll and book!
She also got some cute window clings. They stayed on my aunts window while we were there... they are now on her bedroom window and she is always pulling them off and putting them back on her window.
My cousin Shari and Levi
Madi and Tim (my cousin Marie's husband) playing a game of checkers! :)
My old Caribou! This is where I worked @ 16... I didn't know any of the workers, but it was fun to go back.
My old house! Only lived here for 3 years before we moved south, but it was my favorite place.
Mall of America!
She's excited about rides!
Daddy and Madi are gonna ride the balloons!
Riding the Swiper cars
She didn't love them...
but she did love the cookie!
and the train!
The roller coaster my husband went on.. straight up...
and straight back down! Crazy!
On the carousel!
my cousin Marie and Levi
Shari and I
Madi in the doggie beds :)
Kalli and Madi... she got a sucker, so she wouldn't put it down for a pic
Levi kept pulling Kalli's hair and glasses :)
some love for Auntie Karri
and Uncle Mark :)
Silly pic!
Yup, that's a grape... :)
Levi and Marie
Levi with my cousins Kiersten and Marie
Levi checking out the fish at the "Sea Life" aquarium that we went to that's under the Mall of America.
Swinging at the park with Emma
They checked out the pond @ the park. One thing I LOVE about MN, NO FIRE ANTS! Madi got to run around and roll around in the grass, and I didn't have to freak out. She was in heaven!
Found a snail daddy! (Mommy was freaking out... sanitizing was done after this!)
Levi enjoying the sights :)
hmm... what, 19 years later... we look a bit different!
so sad to be saying goodbye to my sweet friend
Madi and daddy taking the "tram" down to the lake at my aunt and uncles house
Madi loved throwing rocks into the lake!
Madi and daddy spent a few evenings down there before bed time
Right before we headed out to the airport, Auntie Dawn took her down there too
Here they are riding back up the "tram" from spending time by the lake
Last pic I could fit on my card... in the airplane, heading home!
We had a great time! On the way home, we had a layover in D.C., and didn't get home till about12:45a... it took us a couple days to recover, and a couple more days to unpack! I'm thinking we're finally getting closer to our normal schedule.
My sweet girl turned 3 on April 17th.... I'll have to put that in another post... that's WAY too many pictures to add onto here. :)
God bless!
