Levi's been sick for over a month now - I think we've taken him in now 3 times. First it was croup, the a bad cough, and now the poor thing has the stomach flu. He's a champ though, only complaining during painful diaper changes ( the acid's causing a bad diaper rash). I sm thankful not to have to do 3 or more baths a day and have been loving the new hot steam humidifier we got. I know they're not safe but it really works so much better IMHO.

Levi is now almost 6 months old! And my baby girl will turn 3 at the end of March! Where has the time gone? It's been a lot of fun!

Levi is sitting unassisted, he's saying " momma", he taking several soft purees, he easily raises onto his arms with head up during tummy time , he knows his mom and dad and Kay are his family and comfort him most. He's beloved at daycare and welcomed with cheers when he arrives. He's discovered that banging 2 things together is a ton of fun and noisy! He already likes playing with balls and giggles when it's passed to him. Levi also has figured out how to jump and bounce in his jumperoo. I don't think he's reached his peak of enjoying this cuz I remember much more hilarity from Kaylee when she did this, he's still getting the hang of it...it's cute to see his huge smiles. He's enjoyed the teether, rattles and spinners on the jumpy for at least a month already. He loves to turn around in it, investigating all his options. kaylee wantsvto spin him in it, so that's been something we've been deterring her on.

Kaylee's favorite thing to do now is set up "clubhouses" around the house. She lines up pillows in a row and chairs if they're nearby. She invites us in to play clubhouse. She brings a bunch of toys in and generally makes a huge mess, but there is a method to her madness because when I put the stuff away, she returns the items to their exact same positions within a few minutes. So resistance on my part is futile and a waste of time. I just ask her to help me clean before bedtime and nap now.

Kaylee's started using complicated words like otherwise, usually and in reality in sentences. Sometimes used in slightly wrong context, but I am so proud she's trying them and it's interesting to see how she tries to incorporate these into her flow of talking.
