Levi turns 2

Little Levi turned 2! We celebrated in Mammoth w/ our dear friends Michael Goodwin (Levi's Godfather), and Jeff, Linda and Connor Knippel, who drive from Salt Lake City. Levi had a delightful day complete w/ balloons, a visit to Mammoth Mountain, the playground (despite it being covered in snow), presents, and peppermint ice cream.

The balloons were the biggest hit

The big 2!

Levi's big 2-year milestones included: scaling walls, eating by himself (w/ both hands), repeating the words 'bubbles, cars, and clock,' sleeping solid 11 hrs a night, happily enjoys 2-hr nap,s and going a mile a minute. He is both a very busy and very happy boy!

Levi and Connor met for the 1st time; Levi was smitten from the get go

The highlight was blowing out the candle...again, again and again

Both John and I are loving this age, despite collapsing in bed every night from pure exhaustion. We feel so blessed to have this little guy in our lives. Happy Birthday to our sweet buggy!

Levi turns 1

He's happy, healthy, very busy and super smiley. We love him dearly. Happy Birthday buggy.

A Party fit for a King!

On the near-eve of turning 1, Levi celebrated with friends of all ages at Swiss Cottage Leisure center. Starting with an hour of swimming, followed by...

Delicious treats & big comfy couches to climb over & under.

Guests included babies to big boys....

Old friends like the Guerra's...

& special guests such as Mama Manjola, who's been our saving grace since Levi was 8 weeks old and is a mother of 3 boys (soon to be 4... gasp!)

homemade cupcakes by Dad...

& lastly, extremely proud parents of this genuinely happy & healthy boy.

Growing up...

Where did the time go? Kristi and I can't believe our boys will be 1 next week.

Lucky for us, they're both sweet, happy and learning to share...

Harry + Levi = BFFs

They've known each other since birth (literally) and have grown quite fond of each other. We can't get enough of Harry (and Kristi).

Hanky doesn't miss a moment to be with the boys.

Learning to share.

The boys took over the corner at Coco Momo's, a favorite restaurant in Marylebone

BFF's

11 months..nearly there

At 11 months Levi can be found most afternoons at Regents or Paddington Park, both 3 blocks from our flat.

Aside from swinging, Levi loves crawling around and underneath the trees. Below is one of our favorite spots in Regents Park whether it be sunny or overcast.
