His gangster baby look.
I brought out the excersaucer and thought that he'd still be too little to use it. He loves it. Just look at that face... "Of course I'm big enough for this Mom. What did you think? That I'm some sort of tiny baby? Watch me even grab my toys and drop them on the floor!"
He is also a drool/spit up monster. He always needs a bib on.
In the afternoon we went to a picnic. It's the same picnic with the same friends and family (Austin & Mason below), and always fun.
I made peanut butter brownies (double the recipe), which were very good with chocolate frosting as Georgia demonstrated.
And blue cheese dip (use a food processor to mix), which was also very good served with french bread or crackers.
It's so neat. The water at the deepest is maybe two feet. The kids just love walking, swimming, splashing in it. We even talked Case into coming down with us!
Levi slept the whole time. He stayed up at the pavilion with Nana. It's about a quarter mile hike down to the gully.
And what picnic isn't complete without beating Nemo to shreads with a baseball bat?
We go in reverse age order and only three hits per kid. Each kid got two turns before Nemo was laid to rest.
And then we came home.
The kids are doing good. Georgia has two tumbling classes left for the year. And she has taken a very strong interest in her clothing. Ugh, thus is begins.
Austin play farms all day long. And if he isn't pretending to drive a tractor he is pretending he is a "mama cow" or a "mama pig". It is cute.
Levi will be 3 months old tomorrow!! He's so sweet and chubby. He loves to grab toys, coo and see what is going on. He has a strong hate for tummy time. And bottles. He is definitely mommy's boy. I can't wait to see how much he weighs at his 4 month check up. Our scale at home says he is already 16lbs!
I've had two phone interviews this week. I should hear back on both of them next week. I'm hoping they both lead to face-to-face interviews. It's just nice to get calls. I've been sending resumes out like crazy since AUGUST! A job offer would be really wonderful. I've loved being home with the kids, but two incomes are nice and I like to be able to talk to adults now and again!
Look at those hams! Levi is now up to 14 lbs 4 ozs.
And my double trouble. I'm guessing by the end of the year they will be the same height.
Austin is nearly three years old and at bath time, could get his pants & undies off by himself, but got stuck with his shirts. So I buckled down with him and taught him how to completely undress himself. It's nice for bath time. But during the day he will become "sweaty" and strip down to just his underpants. This is why he is just in his underpants in the photo.
