Levi's first day of school

So today was Levi's first day of Tues/Thursday school. I took the day off for two reasons. 1. He had his 9 month appointment 2. I wanted to be there to drop him off and pick him up. Now, he's use to being around other kids and has had someone to watch him since he was 10 weeks old. But this is a new experience since he's use to there being only one other kiddo or his cousins around for the entire day. He's only use to being around a group of kids at church and that's really only about a hour at a time. * didn't have the option to call either. Usually I'm able to call at lunch and just check into on him. Can't do that with Tues/Thurs school. Needless to say, Link and I were a little bit anxious all day so we did some retail therapy :). Well, I did retail therapy and he was just there for moral support. Levi had a good day though and didn't beat up any of the other kids in his class (which happen to be all girls). In fact, when we first dropped him off and the teacher was showing me a few things, Link was observing a girl in the class hit Levi across the face a couple of times and grab his shoulder. Luckly, he didn't strike back which is one of my fears. I know he's in good hands but I'm really glad this first day of school is over.

Help!!

So, Levi has been "saying" the funniest things lately. Last Sunday, we were eating out with some friends for Father's Day (Link wasn't there :(. He's on a mission trip to Miami). Levi spit up all over me and one of our friends asked "Do you feel better now?" to which Levi replied "Yeah". Tonight I was reading him the Bible story of the 10 lepers where only one leper returned to tell Jesus "Thank You!". I was at the part where the lepers first see Jesus. The line says "Jesus was far away, so the men yelled in big voices" at which point Levi yells "ahhahah help (well, it sort of sounded like help) ahaahah" right on cue. I tell ya', the kid's a genius ;). Also, he's been making pretty funny faces lately (please see top two pictures) and he's now a master of sitting up by himself. He's a fun baby. Link comes home tomorrow so life will return "normal" for a little while at least.

***Yes, I realize I haven't posted in almost a year. Let's just be excited that I finally posted again and not dwell on the past. . . ;)
