Levi’s first birthday party was Saturday at our house. Here he is in his throne ready to eat.
Lunchtime. This is a good shot of his first birthday t-shirt.
Levi wasn’t so sure about his hat. He didn’t like that fluffy junk on top.
Here’s a good shot of a lot of the people there. Levi was playing with Olivia in the picture. That’s her dad standing up watching. Our friend from church Kathy is standing on the left. Our neighbor Barbara is watching the babies and Kendra is sitting next to Sarah who is holding her little girl Emma.
This is Levi’s main birthday cake. It was made my Kendra’s friend Liz. If you want a cake made she does it as a side thing instead of her main job, but she does a great job.
Here is Levi’s personal cake so he could have something to make a mess with.
Here’s Levi with his buddy Olivia. They’re really close together in age, in fact Levi is going to her birthday party in two weeks.
Levi was a little stunned by the whole singing of happy birthday. He just froze and stared at all of us with an open mouth. After we all clapped he took a second then reacted with some clapping and smiling.
And so the eating begins. He really liked the cake, as did everyone else.
We had to get a shot of us with him.
He wanted to face plant into the cake pie eating style. He couldn’t quite reach it that way, but that was probably for the best.
A little bit of the aftermath.
This shot is after we took him outside, hosed him off (no seriously, we used a hose). Then he got a bath. Then we got him dressed and tried to convince him to open presents.
Here he is standing there watching us open his presents. Mind you he’s walked off about a dozen times at this point and we just brought him back. He was having more fun wandering around checking everything out.
A shot of the birthday cake mess.
Levi wasn’t a huge fan of the bouncer. Not sure why, since he’s liked it before. Olivia loved it and had a lot of fun. She couldn’t convince him it was fun though. We had a ton of kids in there and he was the only one that didn’t like it.
That’s all I have, I’m sure Kendra will post more. I have video, but I have to find time to edit it all for posting.
One Year Old!
Olivia comes to visit.
Olivia came to visit us in mid-January. We had a lot of fun playing and eating lunch with her and her family. It is so neat to see her and Levi interact. I have learned that girls are a lot more vocal than boys and boys move around a whole lot more! Enjoy the pictures!
Birthday pictures to come tomorrow.
Randomness and Birthday Preview
Yes, there will be birthday party pictures, but I had some other ones I wanted to get out of the way.
Levi has a camo hat he got at a baby shower. Its got the geocaching.com logo on it. He was only wearing a diaper and we though a camo hat would make that the perfect redneck baby outfit.
The other day I was chilling with Levi when Tyler decided to jump up for a lap. He quickly changed his mind, but I held on to him for a bit so Levi could pet him.
Levi has a 12 month size pirate shirt, so we had to take a picture of it.
Here’s a party teaser, some balloons we put outside on one of Levi’s toys to make it easier for people to know which house. We couldn’t put them on the mailbox or anywhere further out because of the wind.
In the background here you can see the bouncer we got for the part. I’m sure I’ll get in trouble from someone for this picture, but Bailey was getting in trouble for digging on our door, so I posed for a triumphant picture with my captured beagle. He knew he was in trouble and had run around the bouncer a few times trying to escape me.
Trying to catch up…
I know, I know, I am really behind on blogging. I think about it all the time but just not when I am home with my pictures. I need to start emailing updates again just to write down my thoughts so I can scrapbook them (if that ever happens). Here are pictures from Christmas to mid January.
Levi really likes his duplos. He is starting to try to put them together now rather than just try to take them apart and bang. The Lego store has a lot of different types of duplos so we might have to take a trip there to check them out.
I got this outfit for Levi from my college before he was concieved. It is so neat to see him wear it.
Here he is walking behind the toy that Grandma and Grandpa got him for Christmas.
This isn’t the best picture of him but I love his UT windbreaker.
Robert and I on New Year’s Eve. (yes these are out of order).
Just a fun self portrait. Love those teeth and eyes!
Playing with his ball popper that Robert and I got him. He loves this toy. So do Tyler and Zoe.
Opening his gift from Granny Janny and Grandaddy.
Opening his gift from Nana and PawPaw.
I forgot to post that it snowed at our house at the beginning of December! It was so neat and a lot! 
That’s all for now. I have a ton more pictures but I am too tired to post them. I wish blogger had an option to pick multiple photos at a time and would post them in the correct order.
We are doing great. Levi’s birthday party is the 7th and he turns 1 on the 9th! I can’t believe my little boy is already 1!! A year ago today, I was in the hospital with my blood pressure being monitored. Lucikly I was able to go home on bedrest (Robert got to watch the Superbow at home) and have Levi the next weekend. God has blessed us so much this last year.
