Felix 3 months



Felix weighed in at 18 lbs and is 26 1/4" long! He's in the 98 percentile (not surprising given his family genes). He's our Hunka Hunka love and is going to pass his Mama up in no time! At 3 months, he's super mellow and just happy to be in the mix. He loves to sleep on his tummy and showed off for his Aunties this weekend by rolling over twice! He's the world's easiest baby (knock on wood). Not to mention, he sleeps through the night! This is how people end up w/ three+ kids...they make the 2nd one really easy :)

Cuzzy Sadie turns 5!

We celebrated Sadie turning 5, and she had a huge pirate party, complete with 24 children (friends)!

MK hosted at her house (brave girl)

Levi spent most of the party in the pool

Felix and Levi's morning cozy time

Every morning Levi asks if he can hold 'Twix.' He's incredibly gentle w/ him and talks in a very high pitch voice when asking him how he slept and if he's hungry (wonder where he learned that)? He's the sweetest big brother and is a little Mother Hen w/ Felix. It makes it all worth it!

A local parade

John is finally home from his month long travel that included NYC, Seattle, London, and Brazil. We spent this weekend staying local and discovered a parade today that went right by our house...Go Hare Krishnas! :)

Felix 2 1/2 months old and Levi 2 1/2 years old

Levi waiting for the candy

Here they come w/ their 3 story floats

It was a bit of a different parade, but they still handed out lollipops so little Levi was a happy boy




Squeaky clean buggy

I adore the moments when Levi's just hopped out of the bath. He's so clean and snuggly!

Grandmommy & Granddaddy visit Santa Monica

Heather and Bob spent a long weekend with us. They not only watched both boys solo, but joined us for our weekend traditions. It was so special having time w/ them in our LA life...

Granddaddy hanging out w/ the boys



Hank loves anyone and everyone, but he's particularly fond of Bob

We took them to the 'Big Train' at Giffith Park, and Felix rode the train too!

Grandmommy introduced Levi to pinwheels. At 1st he wasn't overly impressed, but was soon enough amazed by this simple toy



Hanky joined us too!

Felix LOVED hanging w/ his Grandmommy. He even showed off by sleeping through the night for the very 1st time on her watch (10:30pm to 6:15am!), and he's now sleeping til 7am! Thanks Heather!

We took them to our favorite burger cafe in Los Feliz

We ended the weekend at Hollywood Bowl to see Dolly Parton!

Dolly was absolutely amazing. Not only did she play over 6 different instruments, she told anecdotes about her life in between each song! We had the most yummy picnic and enjoyed every minute of the concert (She did sing "I'll Always Love You" and "9 to 5" in her encore). Thank you Heather and Bob for the special evening!
