The weather here has been fantastic! We were outside the entire day on Sunday. We went to the park which Eric was working, and when he got home we went again, then Becky came over and we walked to the park to look at the river. It was wonderful and yesterday was similar.
Levi got very tired from the long day in the sun, then slept 12hrs that night (not all in a row, but still 2more than usual.)

Tonight we've stayed around the house using our new swing set and Eric and Kay are in the hot tub while I keep an ear out in here for sleeping baby. Hence, I have time to blog.

Levi ate so much spaghetti tonight. He's doing great with his pincher grip, he's ahead of his age on that. He probably got about75 percent of the noodles he grabbed into his mouth. Glad to see him enjoy it! He liked it way better with the saucy, that's my boy loving the Italian food!

Maybe if I write this down I'll become more committed ... I will try harder to get Levi in his crib! He's in it right now and I will not let him in my bed tonight. I think I can, I think I can... I am getting utterly beside myself with exhaustion, and eric's running close behind as the most tired parent. I am too much a sortie to let the babe cry more than just softly or whine, then I feel like running to him(and to Kay when she was a baby...and even now) also feel like I'm away so much with work I feel bad for not being close during the night...all snuggly and cozy but We just have to have something change! We are so sp so tired and need more time together too as a couple! So things we are trying...no laying down with him, only rocking chair. Try bottle instead of nurse to create distance from me. Put them both to bed sooner and get them used to sharing and their own beds. We might also change his mattress to a softer one more similar to ours which he's come accustomed to. Because of fear of SIDS surprisingly few soft mattresses, we haven't found one soft enough. Anyways duty calls...wish us luck!
