Today I ... fell asleep right in the middle of playing. I was having the best time on my play mat - there are lots of colors and things to bat at that make noise and light up! My Mama turned me over so I could work on keeping my head up, cause right now it is kind of like an anchor that pins me to the ground. Its so heavy I just can't seem to lift it up. My Mama and Daddy said it's cause I've got so much brains in there. But it just made me sooo tired cause its sooo hard. So I just fell asleep!

I really like … looking outside. When it is warm enough, my Mama and I go outside and hike, but now that it's cold sometimes I just look outside the windows. I'm really lucky cause my house had lots and lots of windows, so there is always something to look at.

I don't like ... not being able to hold my head up, but I also don't like practicing on my tummy. It is very frustrating. Just when I think I've got it, I realize I can't hold it anymore and my face crashes into the floor. My Mama says she doesn't know of any little kids whose heads are still stuck on the floor, so I shouldn't worry too much, but being a baby is hard!

This week I … started SMILING! I’ve been practicing in my sleep for a long time now, but I wanted to be sure once I did it for real I did it perfect. So I practiced a lot. My Mama and Daddy were practically begging me to smile for real, but I just ignored them and kept right on practicing until I was good and ready.

I really like … my Aunt Sarah Ellen. She came to visit me this weekend. She makes really funny faces and sings me all sorts of silly songs. She makes up all the words, so they are special songs just for me.

I don’t like … the rotovirus vaccine. It made my tummy hurt for a whole week. I felt so bad and cried so much, Mama and Daddy were starting to think I had colic, but I’m all better now.

Levi at 1 week

Levi at 2 months and 1 week

Today I ... am a great big, huge, powerful, strong, healthy baby! I went to see Dr. Thomas for my two month check up. I weigh 10.5 pounds and am 22 inches long!! That means I have grown 3 whole inches in just 2 months and I have gained almost 5 pounds. Good grief that's a lot of growing. I have caught up to almost half the babies that were suppose to be born when I was - I'm like a baby superhero. Or a chia pet. Le-Le-Le-Levi, watch me grow!

I really like ... my new swing. It has lights and fish and I can watch the swim around and around. My Mama says the lights kinda look like disco lights and she worries I'll get overstimulated, but its soooo cool, man. I feel like I'm trippin'.

I don't like ... shots. I was just laying there all excited cause Dr. Thomas had just said how big I was getting when out of no where some crazy lady stabbed me in the leg, twice! It hurt and I SCREAMED. Daddy said I screamed so hard I turned purple. There are suppose to keep me from getting sick, and I've never been sick, but I think I might like that better than getting stabbed in the leg.

Today I ... got to help my Mama on a real photo shoot. We went down to Lake Summit and took family pictures for the Stierwalt's and Robinson's. I got to help my Daddy hold up the reflector while my Mama took lots and lots of pictures. It was fun cause my friends Slade and Walker were there. I know all about getting your picture made cause I'm always having my picture taken!

I really like ... practicing making faces. I like to sit and look at you and make all kinds of faces. It's even more fun when someone will make the same faces back at me. In the morning is when I smile the most, but in the evening when I am falling asleep I run through all of my expressions. It goes something like this - HAPPY!, SURPRISED!, pouty, smirky, kinda happy, sad, HAPPY!, mad (grrr), EXCITED! and I can do them all in about 15 sec.

I don't like ... the time change. I know I haven't been here long and still have a lot to learn, but I think the time change is just silly. I don't know why you people think its a good idea.

Today I ... went to the beach for the first time. It was a beautiful day and there was hardly anyone on the beach. My Daddy was sooo excited because he loves the beach and he was so happy to be able to show me the ocean. It would have been really cool if I had woken up at all while we were there, but I didn't. So maybe it didn't count as my first trip to the beach after all...

I really like ... the Boger family. We have been visiting with all of them at the beach. There are a bunch of them, and they really seem to like to get together and eat. They also seem to like me, which makes me really happy. Dean is the man who married my Mama and Daddy, so without the Bogers there wouldn't be a me.

I don't like ... funerals. That's what we were doing with the Boger's. I don't totally understand them, but I know they make people sad. My Daddy said I did a good job of making people feel better, so that was good I guess. He says I'm kinda like a therapy dog, and that people feel better when I snuggle up with them.
