talk

Levi is definitely a very vocal member of our family!  He's loud and makes sure he's heard.  :)  I remember being in the hospital with him after he was born and when he was in the nursery, even though my room was way down the hall, I knew when he was crying!

He's getting better at saying "mama" and "dada".  He gets very excited when Mike gets home from work and says, "da-da-da".  :)  Also, last night I was gone running errands, and Mike said Levi was looking around saying, "mama".

Within the last week or so there have been an increasing number of squabbles between the big boys and Levi.  It's either pertaining to a toy or the boys are keeping Levi from doing something he wants to do. Levi gets a hold of a toy he wants and gets a VERY firm grip on it - of course he usually has a toy that the boys don't want him to have and when they try to take it away he gets MAD (same response when I try to take something away at bedtime).  He also loves to play with doors, and if one of the boys gets in the way he gets very upset.  For those of you who saw my comment on Facebook the other day, this would be why I think I need a referee shirt and whistle - I can only imagine it will come in handy for many years to come!  :)

Yesterday was a near perfect day outside - the only thing missing was my honey.  All the boys played nice outside and it was lovely.  It is AMAZING what some sunshine and warmer temps will do for your outlook!  Anyways, in the few seconds that one of my boys actually sat still and came to sit on the blanket with me, I asked Logan what he wanted to be when he grows up - I wasn't sure if he would even have an answer, but without hesitation he said, "A daddy and a deacon!"  :)
