This and That

This sweet baby is sitting up so well now, so I have started letting him take a bath sitting on a towel in the big bath tub! He enjoys bath time so much more now! And I just have to say. I absolutely cannot get enough of that precious little smile!


This boy totally melts my heart. Well, they all do. I guess I should say that I can't believe I am blessed enough to have another little boy who melts my heart just as completely as the other two do. So blessed.


These are the shirts I am working on for the boys (and for a few friends) for Valentine's Day! I really have so much fun doing them. And aren't they cute??!!


We love that Mom and Brooke have been coming over in the afternoons some days to play. And we have had some warmer days lately, so Brooke and the big boys jump on the trampoline or play on the swingset while Noni and I play with Levi on the back porch. I look forward to summer when they are out of school and can play with us more often!


I got this new little outfit for Levi at Target last weekend. I just love the bright colors on him!


Brody keeps telling us that he is ready for t-ball to start again! He asks everyday to go out and play. So, when I can, I try to go out with him and throw to him some. He gets so excited about it. And for four years old, he is really good! I definitely think he got his athletic ability from his Daddy!

I also had to take Mr. Levi to get his shots this week :( This is one of my least favorite things to have to do. I know it's good for them, but it's so hard to have to hold them down! He did really good though. Only cried for a second. He ran a little fever the next day, but a little dose of Tyenol took care of it, and he was good as new :) In the picture below, we were in the waiting room...poor little guy didn't know what was coming!


This is our play room. Lately, I have been feeling as though we are just drowning in toys. I am sure every parent does. But good grief! They are everywhere! And Brody's birthday is in a month. This was right after I had cleaned the playroom one day. It rarely looks like this! But I am trying really hard to keep it more organized. And I am racking my brain trying to think of ways to store them all better. These bins on the floor just get dumped out daily. Toy organization makes my head spin. Or maybe that's just organization in general. Ha!

I love pulling out old toys that were Brody's, and then Beckett's, and now Levi gets to enjoy them. I am flooded with memories every time. Of all of the other times the boys played with them. This drum was a favorite of Brody's. I can just see his little hands beating it now. I pulled it out of the closet a few days ago, replaced the batteries, and I think it is safe to say that baby brother likes it too!

But then again, there isn't much that baby brother doesn't like!

Bath time with the older two has become quite an ordeal. Beckett likes to jump up and down and splash and make a mess, while Brody enjoys a quieter, calmer bath to sit and play with his toys. It just got to where they were fussing at each other within minutes of being in the tub, so I have started letting them take seperate baths. It takes a little longer, but everyone is happy.



And at the end of the day, as long as we have three happy, squeaky clean little guys, that's all that matters!
