Happy Easter

Levi's first easter was pretty fun. We got him just a little basket with a ball and a bunny. he LOVES the bunny! the basket itself was also pretty fascinating. We had a relaxing day as a family, and enjoyed food and games with our friends phil and abby that evening. I read Levi the Easter Story out of John, praying that one day he will see what Jesus did for him and that he will rejoice with us, for HE is risen!

hiking trip

Easter sunday was so beautiful so we went for a little hike. it was so much fun. levi looks so funny with his sunglasses on and wearing layers of clothes. he is such a mountain baby already.

the rock picture is of twin owles, a place that jason used to climb. we sure are going to miss estes park!

so many faces!

levi has so many expressions, i feel like i could just take pictures all day long and not get two with the same expression. he has started to really like bath time now! he has learned that splashing is fun! he loves the little duckies that light up, thanks mom! in fact he cries when i take him out because he wants to keep playing.

7 months today!!!

Levi is so talented! he already likes to read...wait a minute...

ah ha, here is the real reason we like books! they taste great!

i like this picture because he looks like he is concentrating so hard! seven months already, they have really flown by. he is rolling all over the place and gaining independence. He recently found out that he can really make some noise. his new thing is to squeal really loud! It's a happy sound but tends to hurt our ears after a while. we keep telling him that he sounds like a girl!

he continues to be a joy to us every day. we are also starting to have to deal a little bit with dicipline. like not rubbing his food in his hair or pulling on daddy's beard. it's tough since he doen't understand very many words yet, not to mention how cute he looks when he does those things...

riding aven...

we let levi ride aven the other day. it was pretty funny! aven just kept sitting down!

my boys!

beautiful feet!

i love levi's little toes! they are very ticklish just like mine

so close....

He is getting close to crawling! he can get up off the floor but then doesn't know what to do! it is so cute to watch.
