9 Months







Here's what you are up to at 9 months...
You are crawling everywhere! You pull yourself up and stand holding onto things, including your crib when you should be napping. :) You love to eat puffs and feed them to yourself. You like to drop some on the floor for Marley. I have a feeling she will eat well over the next few months to years. You are very vocal and I swear you say "Mama" and "Dadda" and even some resemblance of "all done." You especially call out for mama when you are in your crib and want to get out. You take 2-3 naps a day and are finally sleeping through the night; usually until about 5am. You are such an expressive boy and you make the funniest faces! You love to be outside. You love our walks. You love watching everyone around you, especially kids. You still love your bath, but now you try to escape out of your tub which can be challenging for your mama. You love your grandparents. You light up when you see any of them. You love Hume Lake. We just got back from our trip there and you had a blast. You loved all of the attention you got, as well as the walks around the lake, the french fries and just a tiny bit of ice cream :) and the time with your cousins. It will be so fun to watch you grow up with them and play with them every year. We seriously only gave you the tiniest bit of ice cream and the sugar affected you more than I thought it would! You bounced off of the walls and were really happy/hyper for a few hours. You have been going to bed around 7:30-8, but that night, I finally made you go to sleep around 9:30. You are so sweet. We love you so much!! We are thankful for the joy you have brought into our lives and can't believe God has entrusted us with such a special boy. We are blessed.

8 Months










Considering you are almost 9 months, I better write about you at 8 months! :)


Levi, you are 8 months old and are full of personality! You make so many cute faces. Some serious, some silly, and some joyful. You have started to do the army crawl and we had to get out the "baby jail" to keep you contained. At your 8 month appointment you weighed 19 pounds and were 28 + inches long. You are in the 40th percentile for weight and 80th for height. You wear size 12 month clothes and a size 4 diaper. You went in the pool for the first time on our vacation to Indio and you loved it! You are such a good baby. You are still waking in the night but I don't feed you until 5am. You do really well on car rides. You are the sweetest boy and you bring me so much joy! You "talk" all the time! :) You got your patience from your mama and your good looks from your daddy! You look just like him. Everyone calls you "Randy Jr." We love you so, so much and enjoy every moment we have with you. We are having so much fun!
