the latest...

So these pictures have nothing to do with the latest news but it has been impossible to capture on camera so far. Levi is starting to WALK!! He took his first steps yesterday while both mom and dad were watching him. He took three steps before tumbling and was very proud of himself. He has been trying here and there to take a few more and is getting more confident in standing alone. It begins!
p.s. Levi is 9 months old today.

peek-a-boo

Levi has discovered how to play peek-a-boo by hiding himself in the curtains. Too funny!

January

Levi peering out the patio door. "When is Dad coming home?"



Below, Levi is being the life of the party at his friend's first birthday.

Quacking and giggling

We took a walk to the park the other afternoon just before it got dark and brought along some food for the ducks. Levi was suitably enthralled by the quacking and waddling.



Below is a video of Levi getting shoulder ride from Dad. The camera woman forgot that the digital camera does not work vertically for videos. It is still worth the watch if you just tilt to the side. :)

Great Grandparents

Levi met his great-grandparents this weekend. They drove all the way from Edmonton and we enjoyed a wonderful weekend with Ginny, Gil, and the grandparents. We celebrated a bit of early Christmas as well as both Ginny's and Grandma Betty's birthdays.

Levi's First Snow

We went for a twilight walk in Central Park on the first snow day this season. Levi loves looking at the ducks who were waddling in the snow. The two ponds were frozen over and on one pond there were three people shoveling snow off a patch of ice for, what we can only assume (and Chris hoped), a good ol' hockey game.
