Levi turned 1...so BIG!!! I cannot get over that he is already one...where has the time gone. But yet, it seems like forever ago that he was laying in the bassinett in our bedroom, giving us his first smiles, first laughs, first inch worm crawl... And now, he is taking his first steps and he prefers playing with his brothers rather than being cuddled...tear. I love that he adores his brothers so much, the other day we put the two older boys in bed and shut their door. I grabbed Levi and got him ready for bed, read him a book, and was cuddling with him....he didn't want that, he was so squirmy. He finally escaped from me and started laughing while he was crawling away fast to the boys bedroom. When he finally got to the hallway, he saw the door was shut and he sat down, put his head down and started to cry.
We were up in Idaho for Levi's birthday and so a week later we had some family over for some birthday cake and ice cream.... before....
after....
Besides playing in the toilet and eating...well, I won't tell that story....he loves to get the toilet paper and make BIG messes!
A few weeks ago Taylor got his first BIG lips. He tripped on some blankets and landed on the edge of his bed. At first the bottom lip was bleeding and then as the night went on his lips got bigger and bigger, it was so sad, it doesn't even look like him. The day after this picture was taken, he was even more bruised and swollen. Now, a couple weeks later, his two front teeth are starting to turn gray. We have a dentist appointment tomorrow, not that they will be able to do anything about it, but I would rather they look at it.
I feel like an awful mom, because deep down inside I was chuckling because he reminded me of the who's on The Grinch.
I have a video of Taylor singing but it isn't working for me... it is one of the funniest, cutest things! He sings as loud as he can the Army of Helaman, you can see his face turning red and the veins popping out of his neck....hilarious!
My oldest is getting way too BIG! Yesterday was his first unofficial first day of school. He just went for about 1 1/2 hours and he did great! He even got a little homework that he came right home and did! He has his testing tomorrow and then his official first day will be Monday the 31st. He seems so grown up in these pictures!
I love being a mom to these BIG boys!!
