Pumpkin carvin'

We had grandiose plans of doing some trick or treating with Levi this year, but when we tried to dress him in his Yoda Halloween outfit he found it interesting for all of about 1 minute and then was done and back to what he loves best - pushing his truck around the house. Oh well. We had his attention long enough to carve a Jack o Lantern!

Can I have the car keys, please?

conversation

Levi is saying more and more words everyday. His favorite for awhile has been "yeah". The following was a great exchange:

Jen: "Levi, do you want some chicken for dinner?"
Levi: "Yeah"
Jen: "Do you want some green beans?"
Levi: "Yeah"
Mike: "Do you want a big pile of poop?"
Levi: "Yeah"

CJ 2 week checkup

CJ had his 2 week checkup with Dr. Perry. Here's his stats:
Weight - 9 pounds 1.5 ounces (55%)
Height - 21.5 inches (75%)
Head - 14 3/8 inches (30%)
CJ went from 7 pounds 7 ounces a few days after birth to 9 pounds 1.5 ounces ten days later. That's about 1.5 pounds in 10 days! Wow! What a good eater!
All in all, CJ is a very good baby - not too fussy; just occasional bouts of gas/indigestion. He's sleeping great at night for the most part as well, usually having at least one good stretch from around midnight until 4 am. Mommy feels like she's getting enough sleep to function!
Levi has been exhibiting a bit of jealous behavior; he seems to notice (and not be very happy about) mommy and daddy's divided attention now. In general, though, he's still great and is very sweet with his little brother.

CJ is here!!

Connor James Stone (aka, "CJ") was born early Monday morning --- almost 2 weeks early --- 4:40am September 17th. Almost 2 pounds bigger than Levi who was also almost 2 weeks early, CJ came in at 8 pounds 3 ounces, and 20.5 inches long.

The whole family is doing well --- Mom, Dad, and CJ are all eating well and sleeping whenever they can, and Levi is his normal happy and sweet self, giving his little brother kisses on the head, kind of saying his name ("See-say"), and in general being very sweet and not yet showing a hint of jealousy.









Kiss on the head!

Fun with friends over Labor Day weekend!

Sweet little hand-holding when Roxi, Gib, Lulu and Rob come down to see the zoo


You don't want to run into this gang in a dark alley


A reflective moment at home


You may just see "playing with sand", but I see "helping fill gaps in the flagstone"


A fun couple of days up in Fort Fun at the T-Wups place...

Seriously intense business


Roxi jumping, and Levi trying to jump!


Hey, wake up! It's time to play!


Little men


Kiddie chaos!


Silly man likes being a fireman (daddy put on the backpack, but he put on his own helmet and started driving the fire engine)
