I love my boys!

This blog is post dated June 29, 2008 (we don't have the internet since we've moved); this date is respectfully Seth's 21/2 year mark and Levi's 8 month mark :) and I thought I'd write a few things about their progress at this point in their lives.

Seth Aiden

He is such a handsome and bright little man. I mean honestly how did I get so lucky?

He knows his alphabet and sounds

He speaks in clear complete sentences and is such a polite little man. More often than not he’ll respond with a “yes please,” or a “no thank you,” and when he asks for something it’s a “may I have (…) please.”

I am amazed at his resolution to do what is right. He just wants to be a good boy.

He can count to I think 15? You never really know with Seth, he doesn't like to perform on command and he is constantly startling me as to how much he actually knows and doesn't let anyone catch on.

He knows the planets, the galaxy we live in and other related vocabulary

He knows a lot of major dinosaurs ... tyrannosaurus rex, triceratops, stegosaurus, etcectra.

He knows the first presidency of the Church and other major prophets in the scriptures.

I could go on. He knows so much.

This kid is seriously amazing and I love him so much and thank my Heavenly Father daily, constantly, for giving me him to raise.

Levi Rivers

When I think of Levi I think of joy. He just radiates happiness!!!

Lets see... still no teeth.

He can scoot/crawl. He's not too proficient at crawling consistently but he can move forward. He really prefers to just roll around. He just rolls and rolls around the room to get where he wants.

He knows the "more" sign.

He can say "mama," "dada," and "bubu," (that's for "brother").

He weighs a little over 25 lbs.

He loves marshmallows.

These two little boys are so wonderful and compliment one another so well. I've enjoyed watching them grow individually and together and watching this "bud" of what can potentially grow to be a great friendship.
