Skills at 7 and a half months!


In one clip he's crawling at high speed, and in the next clip he's climbing stairs with ease... "Levi proofing" might be a little more difficult than normal "baby proofing"!!

NBA Mommy is funny!

BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Small, Medium and Large



We got together with Dario, Scott, Renee and our friends Tee and Angie and their son, Andre, for brunch. It was so fun to contemplate future play dates with our three boys running around causing trouble. These pics are great to see the size difference - Dario (2 weeks old), Andre (18 weeks old), Levi (30 weeks old)

A beautiful Fall day

Dario Barnes is born!




Levi had the honor of meeting his brand new cousin, Dario, today. Renee gave birth Friday 9/22 at 12:54 am after 50 hours (yes, 50!) of intense labor. Renee, Scott and Dario are healthy and happy!

Bathtime is fun!

Baby Backpack



We took Levi for a hike last weekend for the first time in the baby backpack and he loved it - even more than the snugli! Mommy took him on another hike a few days later. He's a true nature boy!


I'm going to be crawling out of this thing in no time!

Skills at 6 months



Escaping up the step out of the family room and standing up on his own! (He's even better at both of these now!!)
Both of these movies were taken on 9/9, so Levi was 6 months and 5 days old --- he may turn out to be a prodigy, but he's guaranteed to be a handful!!

6 month checkup


Levi went for his 6 month checkup this morning and wowed Dr. Perry with his amazing health! We were smart this time to give him a dose of Tylenol BEFORE his shots - he cried for about 10 seconds and then was fine!
Here are his recent stats:
Weight: 17 pounds 1.5 ounces = 40%
Height: almost 28 inches = 90%!!!!!! (maybe there is an NBA career in him...)
Head: 17.5 inches = 70% (those brains cells are multiplying!)

Levi started "creeping" at 5 months and now, at 6 months, is literally a full-fledged crawler! A couple of times he's even crawled with his knees under him. He is able to get up the short step from our family room to kitchen area and just within the past couple of days is pulling himself up to standing all by himself by hanging onto us or the couch! His learning curve is just amazing! Now it's really time to babyproof the house - we're not ready for this to be happening so soon! We're already calling him a "handful" - God help us when he starts walking!
We're trying to get really good videos of the crawling/standing - we'll post them soon...

Rock Star!


Is this the early beginnings of a great career? Hmmmm...

Happy 0.5 Birthday!
