Aria & Levi

Me & Levi took a mini vaca to STG Wednesday - Friday this last week.
We wanted to get down there to see family and Jordan needed some good studying time to finish a big paper so we headed down.
It was sooo nice to be down around family again, to have some extra hands to help and play with Levi, and also some great babysitters so I could get out of the house.
One of my best helpers was Aria.
Boy does she love Levi.
She calls him her baby.
And Levi loves Aria.
He is so entertained by her.
The nursing cover is something that gets a lot of attention from Aria.
I tell her that Levi needs to eat and then he stays under there.
She is always trying to sneak a peek.
So I asked Aria if she wanted to get under the cover and eat.
She got her sippy cup and hopped on my lap.
It was hilarious.
She stayed under there until she was done with her drink then lifted it up the top of the cover and said "I'm done Whitney."
She did not want to get out.
She was so content just sitting under the cover.
Oh I sure do love that child.

Our Budding Bud

I can see them; Levi's little teeth buds.
10 weeks old and teething.
Im sure it will still be a little while until they poke through, but now I see the proof.

Chunky Monkey

Look who is 2 months old!
What a little chunkster.
Levi has decided that this is the best way to sit.
He loves to be able to see everything around him.

I feel like he is getting so big already!
We had a doctors appointment today and found that he is up to 10lbs and 21 inches long. He is finally startig to fill out his newborn outfits.
He also had to get his shots, but my little brave man only cried for like 5 seconds before he was fine again. The doctor also told us that he thinks he might be teething soon since his gums look swollen and he is drooling A LOT. Yay, how fun. Not.
Levi's sleeping has seemed to have gotten worse the past couple days. Hopefully this won't last very long. At night he'll sleep for maybe 3 hours at first then wake up 2 hours after that and then be in and out of sleep until 7 am when I've decided its time to "wake up." I've come to accept that this is how my sleep is going to be for a while and it makes it easier to handle.
Mr. Levi has started to "talk." It is the cutest thing ever. He'll just look up at me and starting cooing. We'll carry on a conversation for a good 5 or 10 minutes. I absolutely love it.

Twins

Aren't my boys so precious?! We were able to get through another FULL three hours of church yesterday and it was marvelous {given I did spend a lot of time in the mothers lounge}. It was nice to feel active again. Not to mention going to relief society since Ive been in primary for the past two years.

Happy Engagement!!

{Andy & Carlyn}
My sister Carly got engaged this last weekend!
I am so stoked for another wedding.
Isn't it about time?
Andy had Carly get all dressed up and he took her out to eat.
Then they went to the temple, he sang, they danced and he asked her to marry him.
After that Andy took Carly to his sister's house to pick up something, but SURPRISE! his sister's house was full of friends and family ready to party with the newly engaged couple.
Im so happy for these two!
What a cute couple!!

One Month Older and Wiser Too...

This post is just a couple days late, but can you believe Levi is one month old already?
Wow, time really flies when you aren't getting any sleep...haha
We went to St. George this last weekend for Levi's baby blessing.
I was stressing to the max that he was going to start screaming in the middle of his blessing.
I never really paid any attention to that before. It seems like all the baby blessings I've heard I've never heard a peep out of the baby.
This was also our first time trying out church with him so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.
Well, he did start to get fussy minutes before his blessing so I took him out in the hall to quiet him down a bit. He was ok but I knew he could start up again at any time. Jord came and got him and took him to the front and luckly he didn't fuss TOO much.
I did hear him start to wimper up there though.
Jordan did great and his blessing was amazing.
Don't you love his blessing outfit?! He was one classy individual.
My dad and Janice bought it as a gift for Levi.
Within this last month Me Jo and Levi have all been getting to know eachother a lot better.
{Here are a few things Levi loves:}
-His Mom and Dad of course
-The verticle blinds by his changing table. He could stare at them forever.
-Bath time. This took a little while for him to get use to, but now he loves to just sit in the warm water.
-EATING. He could eat all day if we let him.
-Studying with dad.
-and laying on chests.
-His sling
-Loud white noise. If he is fussy I can turn on the vacuum or hair dryer and it calms him down.
Im hoping that soon he will start to love sleep...
Well, sleeping at night that is.
Last night he did get 4 1/2 hours of sleep in a row (but then only one more hour of sleep and he was done for the night).
