Happy Birthday Levi!

Levi turned 1 on last thursday the 24th of september. He got a Cozy Coupe car for his birthday and he loves it! he will just sit in it and open and close the door, and when I ask him if he want's out he shakes his head no. (it's really cute) Levi also had two birthday parties because Aunt Katie had to work on sunday, and she realy wanted to see levi eat his cake!

This was the first cake for levi! he really didn't know what to do so as you can see in the next picture he fed it to Grandpa Arley! it was really cute. he did aventally get in to it, it was great practice for sunday.

( levi feeding grandpa cake).

we also opened presents! grandpa and grandma Carlson gave Levi a car truck. He has been obsessed with cars ever since we visited natalie and her boys in july ( he even makes little zoom zoom noises when he pushes the cars around).

Grandpa and Grandma Marshall got levi a toy lawn mover! and he love's it as well, he's been pushing it around all day .

Levi also had fun opening his other presents which were all outfits and a blanket.

since Levi had practice with cake at his first birthday party, he went to town and his second. he had so much fun, and we all had fun watching him !

see how messy he got! thanks everyone for making levi's birthday Great!

battle wounds

So today Levi decided to pull my jewelery box on top of him( it's a pretty big jewelery box) he had a pretty deep cut, and the side of his face is all bruised as you can tell from the picture, I was surprised that there wasn't blood gushing every where. So I called the doctor and told them my kid split his head open and they told me to bring him right down. we jumped in the car Matt tried not to speed I sat in the back and tried to hold a paper towel on his head but he didn't let me, so I'm glad blood wasn't gushing everywhere . they had to put 3 staples in his head, it was gross! the doctor told me to get use to battle wounds because he's a boy. I'll post some pictures of his staples tomorrow.

How do you keep a bandaid on a baby?

so on Saturday we discovered that Levi had a cut on his thumb that was infected, so we took him to the doctor before it got more infected. The doctor put him on an antibiotic and told us to keep it wrapped ? you want us to keep a band aid on a 11 month old? so this was the solution, it looks a lot worse than it is, and his thumb is looking much better!

Levi wants to go camping - at Ikea!

Levi had a wonderful time playing at Ikea.

my little Edward!

Levi has 4 teeth, and 3 more trying to come in. He has two on the top and two on the bottom, I think it's so cute that his Vampire teeth came in before his two front teeth. He's my little Edward, he loves to bit like a Vampire, luckily it doesn't hurt to bad. I hope I can teach him not to bite before it starts hurting. any suggestions would be very helpful.

North Carolina Trip!

North Carolina was so much fun!, I was a little nerves to flight with Levi, luckily my mom Flew with me. The Plane ride there was 3and a half hours, and by the end this bag of Cherry's was the only thing that would keep him entertained.

One of the fun things we did while we were out there was Blue berry picking, there's nothing like fresh blue Berry's!

We did a lot of shopping while we were out there Nick and Christian took turns riding with Levi.

The shopping and blueberry picking wore Levi out so he had to take a nap for the first part of the toy store.....

but as you can see as soon as he woke up he was all about keeping up with the big boys

Something Levi had to learn while he was out there was to be tuff,( I think he looks pretty tuff in this picture). in order to keep up with the big boys. He has so much fun with nick and Christian, by the end of the week they were treating each other like brothers.

Nick had his birthday while we where out there so we when to his birthday party!

We went swimming!

We went to the temple!

Duke University has some really cool gardens on there campus, so we when and saw them.

Duke University has some really cool Architecture .

We has a fun time, I am so glad that I got to spend some good old time with Natalie and her boys! I sure do wish they were in Utah where we could hang out all the time!
