Well, we've hit 8 months..the one year mark keeps getting closer!
I know I always say this, but Levi really does keep getting more and more fun as he gets older! He started making me laugh on a regular basis around four months and he just hasn't stopped! This little wiggle worm has changed drastically this month in his abilities, and his personality comes out as he learns more and expresses more.
Over the course of what felt like two days, he learned to push himself up to sit, crawl on all fours with his belly off the ground, and pull himself up to standing on anything he can reach. This probably happened more over the course of two weeks but he went from being a somewhat stationary baby to what feels like a mobile toddler!
He seems to find every possible cord in our house and gravitate toward it and unfortunately, I think he's learning when he is supposed to do something and when he is not; his little mischevious look comes out at times. I say unfortunately because that means discipline has to take place and thats when parenting becomes a challenge..so far I've just gotten to love on my little boy!
What a joy we have in our little boy! So thankful to God for this blessing!
Behold, the Blueberry Festival:
Are you as astonished as we were?! I had seen an ad for a Blueberry Festival this weekend and eventually talked Clay into letting us go! This is the excitement and non-stop activity we were met with.
I personally have this long-time affection for fruit festivals. One summer, I made it a goal to attend as many as I could..I still have great memories of the Elmwood Strawberry Festival filled with Elvis impersonators, strawberry shortcake, friends, and stuffing myself with fresh strawberries. I'm afraid this Blueberry Fest won't quite go down in the books of having the same caliber, but we made the most of it!
Clay was more interested in taking pictures and eating the bluberries than actually picking:
(note me in the background actually working)
We all wore blue in honor of attending the Blueberry Festival:
Levi inspecting my work:
We ended up picking about 4 1/2 pounds of bluberries! We found out that basically the Blueberry Festival just means the blueberries are on sale for $1.99 per pound..and blueberry smoothies are available for purchase.
My boys :)
