The joys of RICE CEREAL

"What in the HECK is this! This tastes horrible!"

Solid time sweety. You can't live off of breast milk

your whole life. (My frozen supply just might make it that far)

Shane and I started feeding Olivia solids this past

week and it is not going well. Her tongue is so

quick and difficult to get past. We even tried

Bananas, every kid likes banana baby food right?

She prefers Alphabet cereal. Every time we have her in the

bumbo while we are eating cereal she practically

lunges out of her seat to get to the cereal boxes. Baby steps

little one baby steps.

Our LITTLE WOMAN

Beautiful little woman. Here is the end product

of Levi's skills at putting make up on others.

He kept putting brown eye shadow in her eye instead

of on her eye.

Bad hair day

Her classic deer in the head light look.

She now rolls from her tummy to her back, says Da Da Da, and

perfecting her raspberry spits. Her clothes get so wet, from her raspberry spitting and constant spitting up, I have to do at least one load of her cloths every day. Not to mention all the carpet cleaning from her spit up.

Saggy Pants

Levi is now going through a phase where

he hates his diaper being changed. Before

when it was time for diaper changes he would

be the first to sit down and HOLD STILL!!! Now

it is a game of WHO CAN CATCH ME first followed by

screaming and kicking. Last night Shane changed

a poopy one and poop was flying everywhere!!!!!

The other day the kids and I were in the car and out of no where

I hear Levi yell "OH, COME ON!!!!", "OH, GOSH!" and

"CRAP!" Looking around trying to figure out what

he was referring to, I then realized that I was approaching

a slow moving car in the fast lane. Laughing my head off, I

remembered that my driving was much like what my mother's

was when I was growing up. Me and my siblings would sing Cruel la Devil when my mom would do the same thing behind the wheel. (We still singtoday!)

Levi picks up things so fast (obviously as stated above:). He now can identify 24 of the 26 letters of the Alphabet. Now we need to work on his colors. Does anyone have

any tips on how to accomplish that task? I have tried and his attention span is 5 seconds.

My Little Chef

Every time Shane or I fix dinner Levi is

so excited to help. A couple of nights ago it was

pizza night (his favorite). This was his pizza. You

have to love the mound of cheese in the middle.

I know I am a slacker!!! :)

As you can probably tell, Olivia has grown

a ton. I believe that she is approx 16 + lbs.

I have completely lost track. We have her 4 month check up on

the 20th, so I am curious to find out.

Things Olivia is doing.......

Rolling side to side

perfecting her tempter tantrums (she has more then Levi in one day)

she just found her feet yesterday and rarely lets them go.

hates to lay on her back at a slight incline

talks non-stop

Things Levi is doing

Eats ice cream almost every day

Loves bugs

Enjoys being outside, LOVES SWIMMING

Can still fit in his Bumbo seat

Loves playing with Olivia

He is very independent, loves putting on face lotion all by himself

Enjoys playing with toy cars/trains/trucks and crashing them into everything (especially my feet)

Levi can count to 10

Identifes most of the alphabet

Loves to sing, dance and being chased around the house

Levi just started to eat mostly with utensils (finally)

I think Levi is going to be left handed, he does 90% of eating and throwing toy's :) with his left hand.

Complete terror one minute and an angel the next. It is cute how he can tell that Shane or I are getting frustrated with him he will put his face up into yours, turns his head to the side and says HI... HI... HI... with the cutest smile.

Doesn't like to share much.

He loves wearing hats.....

My little boy is growing up so fast!

Complete OPPOSITE

Lately I have begun to notice truly how opposite Levi and Olivia are.

Levi was a predictable eater

Olivia we have no clue. One minute she is satisfied and another minute she is screaming her head off like she has not eaten all day.

Levi's bottle had to have the fastest flow humanly possible

Olivia's bottle has to be the slowest flow humanly possible or she drowns

Levi never had colic

Olivia was screaming most of the first month and a half

Levi never slept through the night until he was 10 months old

Olivia has been sleeping through the night for the past month

Levi loved a binki

Olivia absolutely dispises the binki

Levi never sucked on his thumb

Olivia loves her Right thumb

Levi was a predictable pooper and never had a blow out

Olivia she can go up to 5-6 days with out any and then with out warning it is all over everything and deeply thick.

Levi's baby farts were undetectable

Olivia's are deadly

Levi never pee'd when his diaper was being changed

Olivia pee's almost every time

Levi never had issues with eczema

Olivia has eczema everywhere

Levi loves his car seat and loves to go for car rides

Olivia hates her car seat and 50% of the time doesn't like car rides

Levi took multiple naps throughout the day

Olivia only naps a total of 2 hrs all day.

Levi had/has extremely blonde hair

Olivia has dark hair

Levi just barely got on the growth chart.

Olivia is in the 50th%tile on the growth chart

They both LOVE their Bath time's
