Today was a big day for Levi as he woke up for the first time in his own room/crib...yep, mom and dad made the big switch last night and Levi handled it like a champ (although he still seems no closer to sleeping through the night...). Once up, both boys joined mom and dad for breakfast out and then went and visited their great grandparents. When they got home, it was time for them to entertain some visitors of their own as their grandmother and mom's friends stopped by. With the nasty weather, Colton was excited to order some Chinese food (he loves the fried noodles) and stay in for the evening.
PS: Taking candid pictures of Colton is proving to be more and more difficult as he immediately poses as soon as he sees the camera.
Whew! The boys sure have been busy being their busy, adorable selves. On Friday, Colton and Levi went to Taylor (mom's old school) to visit and meet everyone. Both boys were a hit with the teachers and students alike. Colton had an especially good time at recess with all the kids as he led them around the playground. At night, they joined Gigi and Jimmy for dinner at Wild Wing.
On Saturday, Colton and Levi started their day off by visiting Nene and Papa's house (they hadn't been there for quite some time!). After that, they joined mom and dad for their last round (hopefully!) of car shopping. At night, Colton and Levi headed to the JCC for "parent's night out" while mom and dad went to a surprise birthday party. Both boys were wide awake and having a good time when mom and dad came back to pick them up.
Colton headed off to school this morning, while Levi joined mom at home for a workout, some cleaning, and a few quick errands. After their naps, the boys were happy to have Quiana and Patrick come over...and even more excited when they suggested taking an afternoon trip to the Skinny Dip! Later, the boys joined mom and dad for pizza at home and then their baths and "Sesame Street."
The boys celebrated Levi's official 6 week birthday by hitting up the JCC, where Levi is now legal to attend, and then running a couple quick errands with mom. At 6 weeks, Levi is "talking" to us much more, although we are still patiently waiting for that elusive first big grin of his (there are some questionable ones in there, but we want a really convincing smile!). Both boys must have been exhausted from their sleepless day the day before because both were pretty lazy and took good naps for the afternoon. Once dad got home, the whole family had dinner together before settling in for the night.
Happy Valentine's Day from Levi and Colton...and what a busy Valentine's Day it was! Colton started off his day at school, while mom and Levi were busy getting ready for Valentine's dinner. Nene surprised Colton and came over just in time to pick him up from school and then stayed with him while mom (finally!) took Levi to his checkup. Levi now weighs in at 10 pounds exactly and measures 23 inches (although we're wondering if there wasn't some stretching going on with that...), putting him in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th for height. Once mom and Levi got back home (and Colton decided not to take a nap...super!), the boys helped mom prepare a nice dinner at home for dad. It was a really nice night in for everyone.
Colton and Levi both finally treated mom to a decent night's sleep (Levi slept 4 hours, and then another 5, while Colton manged to sleep until 7:30 for the first time since his brother's arrival!). Once up, they started in on their Monday routine...JCC followed by the grocery store. They spent the rest of the day at home hanging out, although Levi has clearly not gotten on board with the whole nap schedule around here...despite his picture, he managed to make it all day without a nap!
Colton and Levi were excited to wake up to some snow this morning!!! It was a bit too cold for Levi to head out in it, but Colton went out to play for a few minutes (once his hand got in it, he was done!). The boys spent the rest of the day relaxing inside. In the afternoon, their grandmother came over to watch them for a bit while mom and dad went to test drive some cars (and sneak in a dinner out!).
