green beans






I made Green Bean puree yesterday, the vibrant color makes me feel awesome about giving it to Levi to eat! I need to buy more green beans next time, 2 cups only made that << much.

making levi's food with the Baby Bullet

Levi had received a gift card to Sears from one of his aunt's and we hadn't used it so when we went to Sears to get his first professional photo's done we saw that the Baby Bullet was on sale so we snagged it! I've been wanting to make his food but I didn't have a food processor (thinking back on it now, I do have a hand blender) and this came with all the bells and whistles so we invested in it. I'm already in love!
(It came with 6 date-dialer containers for freezer or fridge, silicone freezing tray, big batch blender and short cup blender, spatula, a recipe book and shopping guide.)

The first night we got it I made apple and banana puree's as soon as he fell asleep! It was so fast and easy, and tasted so good I was licking the spatula! I just threw 2 banana's and 1/4 cup of water in the short cup and presto! I had to peel, core and boil the apples but it took less than 10 minutes.

He absolutely loved them mixed together! Couldn't get enough, the little porker! I can't wait to make more!!!

a long weekend


On Saturday morning Levi had an ICN Halloween Reunion party to attend at UCSF. it was lots of fun! Levi was a duck, it was so cute! We can't wait until next year when he can walk and get his faced painted and jump in the bounce house(: It is so nice to be able to go back, we had such an amazing experience there. I am so thankful that we are in such close proximity to such a wonderful hospital.



(The pumpkin we decorated for Levi, I did the face, Grandpa did the back)

After that we went to Great Grandma's to spend the night. She took Levi on a little shopping spree at Carter's! (I love Carter's, they have the cutest clothes!) Here are a couple of things he got:

So cutely! On Sunday we got some bad news, that my godmother and my mother's best friend, Sandra, had passed away. She had been  battling brain cancer and although we knew it was coming, it didn't make it any easier. We went and visited our family, a very hard experience. Levi had had a photo appointment (I have neglected getting professional photo's done) so we took him later on in the day. We got some really cute photo's! I will post them when we recieve a copy of a working CD with the images on them! 



This morning we went to work, dropped the kids off and went to Target to get Levi's Jumperoo! We came home, mommy gave Levi a bottle and he fell asleep. I quickly got to work! I'll say that it was definitely not the easiest thing I've ever put together! He woke up while I was putting it together and watched me, smiling! It was an awesome feeling to know that he had no idea what I was putting together but I knew how much he was going to love it. Before I put him in I had a "mommy moment" and I 
honestly didn't want to put him in in fear that he would like it too much and I wouldn't be able to snuggle him as much anymore. But then, I put on my big-girl mommy chonies and said "but you need to start working those leg muscles!"


So, he finally got in, and as you can see, HE LOVED IT! (8 Such a cutely boy!


Now he is napping and I am going to go get dressed because we are going to meet Grandma at Wal-Mart! Hopefully we can cheer her up! (:

cut us some slack

We're sorry we've neglected you bloggie, but our days are so busy! I'm only mad at myself, I want to remember every day with Levi. We will update more, I promise.

Levi is 5 months old now and weighs 17 lbs! I can't believe it. He eats 8oz about every 4 hours (except at night) and has already started solids (veggies, fruits, oatmeal, minestrone soup, marinara sauce, pieces of popsicle lol). He is a porky pig! He babbles constantly and can roll over. We are practicing standing on his feet, but its taking some time. He smiles and laughs all the time, just like his mommy. We are so in love!

Formula breath and slobbery kisses,

Alexis & Levi
