Chillaxin'

Levi is 7 1/2 months old now! He started crawling about two weeks ago. His favorite thing to explore while crawling is Daddy's rocking chair, which annoys Daddy, and smashing ants with his hands. Yes, we have a few ants here and there...I mean we do live in Costa Rica. Luckily, Levi hasn't been interested in putting them in his mouth. And who needs a fumigator when you have an ant smasher.

In between crawling and his exersaucer, Levi does like to chillax....with a book or in his rocking chair.

Levi is definitely starting to show his personality now, which is so cute. I'm looking forward to finishing work in a few weeks and spending the summer with him.

Levi really enjoys his bath time and his first time in a pool. I'm glad because I've never really been a good swimmer, in fact JB loves to make fun of my swimming skills or lack there of, so I really want Levi to learn at an early age. Only 7 more weeks of school left and then I will have more time to take Levi to the pool on a regular basis.

Happy Easter

A Walk to Remember

The great thing about living in Costa Rica is being able to go to the beach whenever we want. However, JB and I realized the other day that we really don't go as much as we should. We don't plan on living here forever, so we need to take advantage of it while we can. Don't worry, we have decided to make more of an effort to go, especially since Levi is old enough now, so it's not too hot for him to be outside. The last time we went, I decided to have Levi touch the ocean water for the first time. 

It was a beautiful afternoon, with an amazing sunset, and the water was calm. It was low tide, so I picked up my monkey and we had a nice walk to the water. Then I paused, and let Levi take in the remarkable gift God created for us. Every time I see the ocean, I think of how incredible it is and how lucky I am to experience it so often. After a few minutes of enjoying the scene around us, I bent over and dangled his little toes in the water. He was brave and didn't get upset, not even by how cold it was. I let him enjoy the water for a few moments and then it was time to head back to relax in our lounge chairs and watch the sun fade away until tomorrow.

I will never forget this moment I shared with Levi. I think what made it so special was the meeting of one innocent being to another. It definitely was a walk to remember.

The Donald is back...

Levi and I are finally back to blogging! Levi is bringing sexy back this time with his Donald Trump hairdo. I have already cut his hair twice and attempted it again today. He's only 5 1/2 months old! I am going to have to learn how to cut boys hair with how fast his hair grows, or go into debt paying for haircuts. My mission today is to find a video on You Tube on how to cut boys hair. Wish me luck!

Below is the evolution of Levi's hair...

This last photo was the before picture of his last cut. Grandma is coming this week and will have to fix mommy's mistakes before I can post more photos :)
