In Memory of Thatcher Caleb

I laid awake many night praying for precious Thatcher before he was even born.  He fought hard for nearly 3 months and touched every life that heard his name and story in the process.  Please join me in donating to his memorial fund so that his parents can continue to bless others with their amazing faith in his name.

Thatcher,
You have a very special mommy and daddy.  I know they will miss you dearly. I'm so glad you don't have to fight anymore.  I bet you are singing at the top of your lungs with Jesus! Thanks for touching our lives.
-Levi's mommy

15 weeks

Little monster is getting wiggly.... this was the only picture that wasn't blurry!

15 weeks but it's date night

William and I have been busy reading to Levi today as well as replacing the at least 10 light bulbs out at our house (seriously its like there was a mass murder of lightbulbs at our house!).

And now it's date night. I'll post Levi's official 15 week owl photos late tonight. Until then here are a few to hold you over.

Levi is really trying to sit up and maybe even crawl. He's a strong little guy. And he's pretty determined!! I can't wait until he can sit up. I feel like it will free him from the car seat (which i hate him being in) in so many situations.

William has been reading some books onto my phone so that I can play then for Levi over the coming months. We also went and made Levi a build a bear. It's a little army bear complete with dog tags and beret ( which is apparently outdated in military world now... So says William). We even got the bear a bear sized army tent to sleep in. Not that I think William will be sleeping in a tent, but I think Levi will have fun with it. We put it in its package at the top of Levi's closet... Not to be seen again until February 28, 2013. Levi's first birthday. Hopefully he will understand. Or maybe I should say hopefully he won't.

Anyways... For once in my life I'm trying not to countdown. I want the next 5 days to last forever. And on that note I'm off I enjoy some fondue with the best husband and daddy ever.

4 month sleep regression

Dear Levi,
I'm so proud you can roll over.  And I'm very sorry that you haven't figured out how to roll back over yet.  But that doesn't mean that you can stop sleeping.  I did not appreciate my 5:30am wake up call this morning.  Seriously... you can sleep on your stomach until 7:30 just like you can sleep on your back until 7:30.  Plus, I liked it better when you woke up happy and not screaming.  I promise... I DIDN'T put you on your stomach.  Don't hold me responsible.

You are now napping on your stomach as well... I sure hope you take a long nap. I really don't think I'll be able to handle a fussy baby today.

Love,
Mommy

P.S. Please learn to roll over the other way fast.

Tough Guy... Is Not So Tough

We took this gangster shopping at the mall today... he gave us his best tough guy face.

When we got home he decided to pump some iron... but he had a small weight lifting accident..
What's that saying?? Beauty is pain???
