First Farm Trip This Year

We finally had a chance to visit the farm the last week in April. It was Levi's first visit where he was awake. The kids loved seeing the animals and telling me all about them. It was a nice day to be outside enjoying the weather.

More Doctor Appointments

Simon and Levi had a rough couple of weeks during April. Simon told me one day that his ears hurt, so we took him in and sure enough he had a double ear infection. I felt so bad because he didn't feel well the week of Easter and his birthday. We took Levi to visit the doctor twice checking to see if he had ear infections, he never did. He was just pretty miserable for a couple of weeks with a really bad head cold.

A doctor visit I didn't mind making was for Simon and Levi's well-checks. Here are the measurements for the boys:

Simon at 4 years old
weight - 37 lbs (50-75%)
height - 41 inches (50-75%)

Levi at 12 months
weight - 20 lbs. 10 oz. (25-50%)
length - 31 inches (85%)

Simon is growing right on track.
Levi definitely thinned out and lost weight while he was sick. He didn't eat well at all. We need to get him healthy and chubby again.

Levi's Birthday

We are pretty low key people when it comes to birthdays, but we were still excited to celebrate Levi's first birthday. The first year sure went by fast. It is hard to believe our baby is one. We started the day with Levi's first taste of milk. He didn't even bat an eye... he loved it! After that we had a pretty normal day (minus the fact that I turned into the paparazzi trying to get good pictures). Again we invited Michael's parents over after dinner for presents and dessert. Levi loved all his gifts, but we are pretty sure he really loved his new bike. We had to tear him away from it when it was time for dessert.

Since Simon had just had his birthday two days before Levi we decided to switch it up from cake. And since Levi can't talk we decided on banana pudding for him. He didn't really like it, but I wasn't surprised since he doesn't really like too many foods.

Here are some video clips from the day:

Simon's Birthday

Simon wanted to go bowling for his birthday again this year. We picked up Miriam from the bus stop after school and met Michael over at the bowling alley. Simon and Miriam had a fun time bowling. Levi mostly watched, but pushed a couple of balls down the ramp. Simon even got his first strike. After bowling we went to Chick-fil-a for lunch.

Simon wanted hamburgers for dinner. After we ate Michael's parents came over for presents and cake. He had chocolate cake with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle figures. If you can't tell from the pictures there was quite the ninja turtle theme.
