Bee and K at the big park

Beautiful boy

So suspenseful!

Watching "Beauty and the Beast."

I promise ...

... when we put her to sleep, she was on a mattress.

You're going to see a lot of this pose

Until they start sitting up.

Sylvia P. Valentin, star of stage and screen

Sweet dreams

I realized Sylvia's light was still on at 9:30 on Sunday night, so I went in to check on them and found this sweet scene.

Bedtime smiles

This girl.

Climbing with Grandma Betsy

Levi rolled over!

Tonight while I was on the phone with Mom, I watched Levi rolling onto his side on his playmat. He was managing to get around in circles, always rolling onto his back again. Then, all of a sudden -- success! He was on his tummy, seeming perfectly surprised, with one arm stuck underneath himself.

Later, I wrapped him up in a blanket to give him his dose of antibiotics (ear infection, though you'd never guess from the sunny mood he's always in), and as soon as I started wrapping his arms he burst out laughing. He's been doing throaty little chuckles lately, but this was full on giggling. So cute! Then, of course, I had to ruin everything by giving him 4 ml's of amoxicillin. The doctor swore it would taste good, but Levi has taken to clamping his mouth shut when I try to dose him. 

Smart boy.

Dolly makes it better

Sylvia's doll distracted Levi from the awfulness of his car seat for a small percentage of the three-hour ride to Bremen.
