Lasers and a Date

Levi is a very observant kid. He noticed us playing with the pets using a laser pointer, so we decided to get him involved. Here it is on his tray for his high chair.

He thought that was a lot of fun.
Here is Levi wearing a Texas Longhorns outfit the day after we beat Ohio in our bowl game.
Levi has been spending a lot of time practicing walking. Here he is pushing his lion walker into the love seat. He doesn’t have backing up and turning figured out yet.
We have a new gate in our house to keep Levi from getting into the dining room without us. This also keeps him out of the bathroom and the cat’s litter box, which is a good thing. Here he is looking like a tortured prisoner with a smile. Notice the awesome choice of clothes, a diaper and a sock, that’s it.
Here’s Levi wearing his Citadel shirt. His Grandpa went there for college.
I don’t know what was going on here. I think he’s about to throw his ball. Great view of the shirt.
Levi is now playing with Lego Duplos. He is mainly using them to bang on each other and throw. He also chews on them and destroys things we build. He has figured out putting them back in the container, so that’s cool.
Here he is using the lid of the Duplo container to bang on the container.
Here’s Levi on his playdate with Olivia. They’re both cuties. They were using plastic spoons as drumsticks to bang on things. Occasionally that meant each other, but they also got a cat once.
Levi took Olivia to lunch. They didn’t go far, just to the kitchen, but they had their staff to take care of things for them.
Levi got a ball popper that shoots balls into the air. They loved playing with it. Levi will stand up and try to look down it and have the air blow in his face. Its really funny. The best part for us is watching him stand on his own. He can do it for around 30 seconds at times. The only thing really limiting him is when he realizes nothing is holding him up. Other than that he is fine.
Tyler decided he wanted to play with the balls, so he would reach down into the tube to try and get them.
The two of them took a nap and somewhere in there, perhaps at a diaper change, Levi’s pants came off. Other than the suggestive sound of that I promise you he was a complete gentleman. They both were standing up playing. Olivia still needs help to stand, and Levi needs convincing. He has decided crawling is faster so its hard to get him to stand unless he has a specific reason.
That’s all I have for now, but there’s some cute shots in there, so it should hold everyone for a bit. I’m sure Kendra will post some more too.

Last of the North Carolina pictures.Here is Levi with Maw-Maw McGowan.
Hanging in the kitchen with the Great Grandparents.
Out on the pier. Like I said before, it is so relaxing there!
We met with my cousin Christa and her fiancee while we were there. It was good to catch up.
Here is Grandaddy showing Levi how to use the remote.

I don’t know why blogger is underlining and changing the color of my font only sometimes. Oh well!

More Christmas pictures to come.

Here are more pictures from our North Carolina trip over Thanksgiving. I will get caught up eventually.

This is my Uncle James. He lives within walking distance of my grandparents.

Fun self photo we took.

My grandparents live on a creek. The fog rolled in really fast one afternoon. It is so beautiful and peaceful there.
This is my grandmothers brother Billy. We always enjoy visiting with him and his family. Too bad we didn’t get to spend more time with him.
My grandparents have really weird water and it leaves a buildup in the pipes. Robert was going to help them switch out shower heads while we were there. Well when he went to take off the old one and the pipe broke. That left us the kitchen sink to bathe Levi in. This was actually the first time he has had a sink bath. He wasn’t sure what to think.

End of the Year wrapup 2

Kendra’s brother Matt left his sun glasses here at Christmas, so Levi decided to wear them and send him a picture to let him know where they were. We have a picture of Levi a long time ago with the glasses on, so this was a nice reenactment.

Levi was wandering around playing the other night when he wandered into the dining room where we are storing his toys and walked out with one. He was walking around with his truck walker. He was leading it with the front, but it worked fine. He was doing a great job, so we got a shot to document it.
On New Years Eve we were all sitting around playing Apples to Apples when Tyler decided to join us. He decided he’d buddy up with Matt and share a spot since all the chairs were taken. Here he is with a great expression. Kind of a “Hey guys, what’s up”.
We have a laser pointer we use to play with the pets. Levi has enjoyed watching them play. Today he got to try to figure out what that light was. He’s still not sure. We’ll get to the physics later.
Can’t seem to grab it!

Pushing his lion walker he got from Grandma. He was doing really well.

Really well until he got tired of it and wanted to do something else. Then nothing could convince him to keep going. He had done 5 laps or so between us.
