Splish-Splash, I was Taking a Bath...

I have been meaning to grab some shots of Levi during bath-time... well, forever. Problem is, I'm generally in the tub with him or holding his slippery body up. One-handed camera handling near water? Yeah, I don't think so.

I jumped at the opportunity to photograph these moments earlier today. I must've forgotten to mention it, but Levi & I hopped a flight to WI for a 3 day visit with my family. Spontaneous AND fun.
(Although we're missing daddy... a lot!)

Grammy, of course, had to put nakey boy in the tub, so Mama finally got the pictures she wanted!


My favorite part of bath-time is after I wet his hair and face. His eye-lashes clump together, leaving him even MORE precious than usual! He proceeds to stare up at me with those beautiful eyes and long lashes. Oh goodness... my heart can barely handle this much sweetness!


What a splish-splashing, wrinkly-skinned, powder-smelling baby boy!

Halfway

We're six months into Levi's life. Give us six more and we'll have a busy one year old on our hands. (I'm a little behind again with the monthly report... but hey, better late than never, right?)

Before this mark, whenever I was asked Levi's age I'd round up. For example, if he was three months and two weeks, I'd say four months. Now that we're over the halfway hump, I've got a feeling I'll be rounding down. He'll be six months forever, I swear.


Levi, however, has recently proved getting through a meal to be difficult unless he too has something to munch on. He wants big people food, bad.

He's teething something fierce, too. He chews, (or gums) on his fingers all. the. time. If he has his paci, he bites it. I've been thinking about picking up some ora-gel for the little guy as well, I can just see that bottom tooth about to cut.

We finally packed away the bassinet. I decided to wait until we moved to get him into his crib, thinking might as well do all the big adjustments at once. New house, new room, new crib... and he's doing great with it. I had to pick up a baby monitor and that thing is annoying. It's nice having our bedroom back to ourselves, but I do miss having my baby boy by my side. 

We have beautiful windows in this new apartment. They stretch from the floor to the ceiling, with little white ledges and trim. Levi quickly discovered he can perch himself in front of his while he plays, and watch all the cars zoom past below. I love working in the kitchen with this view... (and rainy, lazy mornings!)


Oh yeah, he plays now. All by himself. He'll play in his saucer, or with toys on his high chair. He's a regular ole self entertainer. I'm still trying to get over that. He's figured out how to make things light up and sing on the saucer, and is realizing he can make it happen again, and again, and again... it's so fun to watch him learn!

Happy six months little man!
