Levi the Baller

This past week, Levi played some scrimmage games with a few UK players. Here's a pic of him pulling up for a sweet dunk while guarded... (thanks Uncle Shane...) Gilespie has been calling every hour these days. I think we'll have to get our number changed...

Levi's First Lake Trip

On a whim, we took Levi down to Fenton this weekend. He laughed his head off the whole walk down to the water. As soon as his feet hit the pebbles, he took off straight for the waves. He conquered a log (carefully examined by mom for snakes first of course), a big rock, and then he walked straight out into the water as far as mom would let him go. Then, he started screaming his head off. I think he got some pebbles in his sandles. (Grandma Walston will be SO proud - we were wearing shoes!!!) So, it was a short trip - but a good one.

Levi is growing up more and more every single day. Today he started standing up on his own without pulling up on anything. He also climbed up on the bed and the couch by himself (and fell off by himself as well). We haven't quite mastered the dismount yet, but I know eventually he'll stick the landing. (What can I say, I've got Olympic fever.)

I've got to go make sure Levi brushes his teeth and takes his vitamins before he goes to bed. We'll write again next weekend...

Levi Walking

First Steps!!!

I think we've got a walker on our hands!! Levi walked the full length of the couch on his own several times tonight. He's also letting go of furniture and taking a few steps. What a big boy! I apologize that I haven't put pictures up in a while. Back to school season has me a little bit behind. Levi sends all his love and can't wait to show off his new mobility skills to all his friends and family.

What a GREAT Party!

Levi had such a great time at his birthday party! So what if my living room looks like a tornado hit a toys r us?!? We just wanted to thank everybody for coming and for all the cool presents. I think he's all set in the toy department (until Christmas that is).

I think he enjoyed the paper more than the toys though. For Christmas he'll be getting a few bags full of nothing but paper to play with! (Along with everything else of course...)

Birthday Party Invitation

Can you believe that Levi is almost 1 year old??? It just doesn't seem possible... In light of the first annual Levi-fest, we will be hosting a BIRTHDAY PARTY at our house next week! Here are the details:

When: Saturday, 7/26, 1-3 p.m.
Where: Dunnaway house - email or call me for directions...
Who: All our family and friends

Just give me a call or an email if you plan on coming so that I can have enough cake for everyone!

If you want to bring a present for Levi, here are a few things he loves:

- anything with a wheel on it!
- hard books - he likes books so much, he tries to eat them and rip them to shreds - they gotta be tough!
- big fan of the alphabet and the alphabet song
- Baby Einstein DVD's
- cash - Nana (tina) has a savings account set up for Levi. You can deposit directly into the account, but any cash he receives will also go into his account.

Don't feel obligated to bring a present though - Levi just looks forward to seeing all his family and friends and sharing his BIG DAY with everyone he loves...

Hope to see you there!

Here is a new video for all you Levi fans out there! This one is hot off the presses, taken just a few minutes ago. It proves once again the sheer genius of my offspring. I'd write more, but I've got a poopy diaper to change. You guys enjoy the film and have some extra popcorn for me!
