Big Boy Bed

I cannot tell you how excited I am about this twin bed for Levi! Although we have known for a few months now that Levi is just too long for his toddler bed and needed a twin bed, we were concerned about him being able to get out and roam freely. Well, with this bed, he still cannot get out and I love that! Sounds cruel but I figure since he really has no need to get out and doesn’t seem to mind at all, it works! This bed (from Wal-Mart of all places) is a bunk bed that can be separated into 2 separate beds. So, we put him in the bed that would be on the top and used the wooden rails on just one side, since his bed is against the wall. Seth’s sister, Hannah, has been visiting us this weekend and she helped Seth put it together, as well as went to Sam’s Club with him to pick out a new mattress! Levi took a great nap in his bed today and I’m sure he appreciated all the extra room he had!

Here are a few pics from today:

His old toddler bed (which has a crib sized mattress) looks so small compared to his new bed!

CL Visit and 6 month photo shoot

Wow – one post in the month of March and this’ll be the first in April. We’re doing pretty well with this blogging thing. Anyway, this past weekend we went to Seth’s parent’s new condo in Clear Lake for a long weekend. We had a great time. Levi had a ball with Papa and Nama throwing stuffed cats, chasing real cats, and throwing croquet balls around the yard.  We went down to the lake and played at the park and threw plenty of rocks back into the lake.  We had beautiful weather and it was so nice to be down by the water and watch Levi enjoy it so much.

Chloe is Six Months Already!

A little update on what Chloe is up to these days:

  • Usually eating 2 – 3 times per night between 8 pm and 7 am though she’s given us glimpses of better things to come
  • Finally over her RSV she got back at the beginning of March though she still coughs occasionally
  • Not the biggest fan of rice cereal or any solids for that matter!
  • Can roll both ways and perch up on her elbows
  • 17lbs 7oz and 26.75 lbs
  • smiles so easily to both people she knows and strangers
  • naps 2 –3 times per day. Lately she sleeps roughly 10 to 12 and then 2-4 with a “nurse-nap” to get her through til her 8 pm bedtime (but really no set schedule yet)
  • has her two bottom teeth (got them 4/13 and 4/15)
  • such a happy baby and loved so much!
