15 months

Levi is already 15 months!! He is so much fun right now. His personality is coming out. He still loves to be outside, climb on everything, including climbing in his own high chair when its time to eat and the tramp to jump. He loves to be rough with his brothers and has a pretty loud squeal. He is talking more and a few words he says(and that I only really understand) are eat, out, hot, ball, mama, dada. Not to many yet, but he has never been much of a babbler even as a baby. He is goofy, always happy and fun. He amazes me at what he can do, he can operate his little quad, he figured out how to bounce on the spring horse we have, rock on his rocking motorcycle, climb up the steep playset steps, he even pulls out a wipe if I left them out and starts to wash something. He also pulls his bibs out and tries to put them on his head, along with hats, belts, my purses- he likes to put things on his head or around his neck( better watch that!) He loves to help empty the dishwasher, he climbs right on the door. He also takes everything out of the cupboards that are not locked, the toy boxes, anything..the house is always messy. He just had a check-up and it seems that he is finally slowing down in the weight stats, even though he is still big for his age in the 93% in weight at 28 lbs. 2 oz ( he only gained 1/2 lbs in 3 months, in the past he could easily do that 3-4 weeks) and for height he is 90% at 33"( he grew 1 1/2" in 3 months)

Carter's First Day of Preschool

Carter has started preschool at Zeeland Christian, 3 days a week in the afternoon. He seems to enjoy it so far and has no problems seeing me leave and making new friends. He seems very excited to be going to school like his big brother. He has all of the sudden looked so grown up to me, where has the time gone? This is a picture on his first official day of school (the first day was an hour with me along visiting the classroom)

Ridin' a 2-Wheeler

While Riley has finally gotten comfortable on a motorized dirtbike without training wheels, Carter has mastered riding a bicycle without training wheels. All in his own time, he was not going to do it if he didn't want too, but with a little encouragement he went for it and he has just taken off. Now to get him on the dirtbike.....one step at a time!

At the Track

We went out to the track on Labor Day and had a lot of fun riding around and getting more practice in. He is doing good for only his 3rd time on a track. He is getting much faster and more confident, although he still needs a little pushing and prompting at first, but he is getting good, so maybe next year we will try out a few fair races! Pardon the shaky camera a poor picture quality it is off of my cheap camera.
