Focused! It's all beginning to come back to me...
Felix at the spa getting his hair washed!
All cleaned up and ready to go home to meet his furry brother!
Proud Mama bear!
Levi loves babies and is all about holding little Felix
He even talks to him in baby talk! "...ooooohhh, bay-beeeee, bay-beeeee...ooohhhh..."
Mumsey hopped on a plane as soon as I went into labor and met Felix within hours of his arrival!
It was so special to have her meet him on his birthday!
Through out the day, Levi kept requesting to carry him (which means hold him :-)
Felix getting weighed...big boy 8 lbs, 10 oz, and 21 inches long!
We took Levi to our local Santa Monica May Day fair. Levi is a huge fan of riding the 'big blue bus' around Santa Monica, so we finally got him his own!
This morning, I woke up to a delicious homemade breakfast AND this very sweet card from Levi, transcribed by JWG.
When I asked Levi what he had in store for Mother's Day, he said 'the big choo choo,' so off we went to Griffith Park. Next to Levi is baby #'2s car seat being kept warm by Levi's cow.
All Board
Levi and I waiting for the train to start, wondering what' taking so long?
Levi slipped in few laps on the ponies, which is coming a favorite past time.
We topped off the day w/ one more 'choo choo' ride
Our ritual continues at Los Feliz cafe, where we indulge in yummy burgers and shakes. It was just a very relaxed day full of precious moments w/ little Levi and JWG.
John and I finally got around to taking Levi to Petersen Automotive Musuem. Complete with the Batmobile, Dukes of Hazard car, and the MOST gorgeous 1957 Cadillac!
I think John enjoyed it as much as, if not more than, Levi! He said half way through the museum, "I'm definitely coming back and next time packing a lunch!"
Our cuzzies came over for some pool time in the front yard, since it was nearly 85 degrees at the beach today! John lead the children in some pre-swim stretches!
Levi and the girls playing a little volleyball off of the deck!
Levi studying the pool!
Sadie, Hazel, and Levi getting ready for the 1st swim!
Levi lead the way, with Hazel closely behind. Levi's a bit of a splasher, but Hazel got right into it!
Sadie finally caught a 'no splash zone' and hopped in the pool
The boys doing some casual life guarding
Post-swim & bath... 3 tired cuzzies catching some Letter Factory
Full tummies stuffed w/ pizza and frozen yogurt, now catching a screening of 'Tangled.' Levi's 1st intro into Princesses. He lasted about 30 minutes before he started chanting 'Cars!'
Snuggle time w/ Sadie Blue!
Summer arrived early this weekend, and we hit Hermosa Beach to visit Steve and Abi. While the boys went surfing, Levi and I hung out on the beach.
Following the surf, Steve and Abi BBQ'd for us while we lounged about on Steve's roof deck; it was heavenly!
Master chef Steve, owning the BBQ
Alan, a college roommate of John and Steve's as well as his girlfriend, joined us for the BBQ the hot sun
Levi took a 2-hour nap and woke up just in time for Abi's homemade key-lime pie
After Steve's, we headed directly to our cousins house for another BBQ and wrapped up the evening by the fire pit
Little Levi was beat, but loved every minute of it
