30 years ago...

30 years ago, this was the little outfit that my brother wore when he had his very first pictures made. My mom brought it over a few days ago for Levi, and I had so much fun trying it on him today! I think I may let him wear it to church next Sunday, b/c he will probably outgrow it soon.

Love this picture

Last week of August!

We had a great last week of August! It was a little cooler some mornings, so Beckett and I spent some time outside after Brody went to school and while Levi took his morning nap.



I think it is so important to spend a little one on one time with each of them, even if it's just for a little while.

I was getting ready to hang this mirror in Levi's room the other day, and when I walked in the room, I found Beckett just smiling and talking to himself in the mirror. He is so funny.

Brody had to decorate and dress this little paper person for a school project this week. He had to dress him like whatever he wants to be when he grows up. He picked a bow hunter. Whose child is this? Brent and I don't hunt.

He walks around with this helmet on, usually backwards, about 25% of every day. I think he is obsessed with it.

He loves to rock in the glider in the mornings while I'm changing Levi's diaper and getting him dressed for the day.

Brody is going to play soccer this fall, and he had soccer camp this week. So cute!

These pictures were taken from my car window. It was soooo hot outside, I had to sit in the car with Levi and just watch from the window. Beckett just played in the van while Brody practiced.

He was SO hot and sweaty after camp every day!

Sweet clean baby after his bath. He looks sleepy in this picture to me.

Helping mama fold laundry! I love having tiny baby clothes in the laundry again. :)

"Mister Charming"
He certainly charms his mama.

I just love his little baby features.

It was nice and cool Saturday morning, so after Brent's run, we all went to the park on Madison to play. Brody and Beckett had so much fun. And Levi slept most of the time.
I wanted to take his picture, but there were some girls playing tennis on the courts nearby, and he couldn't take his eyes off of them long enough to look at the camera. This makes me laugh.

I need to work on my "action picture" skills...He is such a climber!

Saturday afternoon was Luke's 1st birthday party! He had a razorback party, so I dressed the boys in their razorback clothes. They were adorable.

:)

This is the only picture I got of the birthday boy. I was too busy chasing around 2 little monkeys.A poor little old man accidentally kicked Beckett's high chair as he was walking by, and this was the look Beck gave him. We get this look alot. Lol. Those were delicious cupcakes, by the way.I have no idea.After the party, we met Ryan and Tara at Dad's to visit for a while. Love getting to see my sweet Eden!Tara and LeviRyan was shooting his bow when we got there...

Beckett and PawpawSo, of course, Brody had to get Ryan to help him shoot his too!Beckett hiding in the Gator...

We have a few fun things planned this week too!! Enjoying what little bit of summer we have left!

It's a Party!

Last weekend, we all gathered at Antigua's to celebrate Tara's 29th birthday!!

Ryan and his sweet girl. I love seeing him as a dad. He is so good with her!!
The birthday girl!

Brody always has to have a try at blowing out thhe candles too :)

And Pawpaw with Levi

We love you, Tara, and are so blessed to have you in our family! I couldn't ask for a better sister-in-law!

Levi {Two Months}

Levi Hudson, you are two months old! What have you been up to lately?

You weigh 12 lbs and are 23.25 inches long!

You wear all 0-3 month clothes and a size 1 diaper.

You are still exclusively breastfed. You nurse about every 3 hours during the day and usually just once at night. I am so happy that we have succeeded this time!

You still have at least one major spit up episode a day. Major.

And because of the spit up, you get lots of baths! Good thing you like them! And you also love having your diaper changed.

You aren't crazy about a paci, but you will take one on occasion. If I am trying to get dinner finished or something, it will hold you over for a few minutes.

You are still a fabulous sleeper. You still only get up once during the night (sometimes between 3 and 5 usually) and still take good long naps during the day. And you have already started putting yourself to sleep. We just lay you in your cradle, and you kick and coo for a few minutes, then drift right off to sleep. How did I get so lucky?

You have been smiling for a few weeks now, but just started cooing and almost laughing when you smile. You try so hard to talk. Love it!

You haven't had much problem with baby acne, but you do have cradle cap, just like your brothers. Dr. O told us today to try Selsun Blue shampoo. We will be trying that soon!

Brody and Beckett adore you, to say the least.

You love to suck on your hand, like in the picture above.

I have started letting you take a few naps in your crib, just to get used to it. Although I don't plan on moving you in there at night for quite a while.

I started back teaching my 2 year old Sunday school class, so you spent your first Sunday in the nursery at 8 weeks. Your nursery workers love you :)

We love you so much, Levi. And we are so blessed that you are ours.
