Breakfast...

Matt decided it was time that he started taking Ian out for some "Daddy & Ian Time" so this morning they went to Dunkin' Donuts for breakfast. Matt said - Ian had fun saying all of the colors of the sprinkles that were on his donuts. Ian came home with icing all over his face and a big smile . That said it all!

Baking Cookies..

Today we decided to make cookies....

Ian loved helping...

We made Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookies...

.... some Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies..

and some Raisin Oatmeal Cookies...

Ian was so excited to show Levi what we had been working on while he was napping!

Walking

Yesterday, Levi finally decided to give walking another try. Now he is walking all over the place!

Levi..

I had to take Levi to the doctors this morning, after he ran a fever all day yesterday and went to bed with a wheezing cough. The doctor said that he has an ear infection and bronchitis. So they are having us give him a breathing treatment every 4 - 6 hours for the wheezing and an antibiotic for the ear infection. We will go back next week for a follow up appointment.

Dancing

Ian loves music! Listening to music, playing music on his guitar and dancing to music. Here he is dancing to a Hillsong "Super Strong God" worship dvd.

Dear God,
Thank you for our wonderful family and the many blessing you have given us. We want to thank you for sending your One and Only Son Jesus to this earth to die for our sins. Help us to always remember the true meaning of this joyous season.

Levi's 1st Birthday!

Happy Birthday to you....

Happy Birthday to you......

Happy Birthday dear Levi....

We love you!

Birthday Boy!

Look at those cute bottom teeth!! He has four up top, but they are hiding!!

It is hard to believe that our little baby is "ONE" already. Levi loves to chase his brother around the house...though he can take six to ten steps at a time..he still likes to crawl really fast to where ever he is trying to go.

Words He is saying..
Dadda, Momma, Ball, Diesel (Poppop & mimi's dog), Thank you, Ut oh, Hi, Bye Bye (and waves his hand)



Levi,
Happy Birthday!
We love you and can't wait to see all of the
new things you learn this year.
