Crawling, Climbing, Cheering

When Levi puts his mind to something he sure does it! Once he decided to crawl it was on. Now there's not an obstacle that can stop him from getting where he wants. He's everywhere and he is fast! We bought some baby gates for the stairs and those have already come in handy. Now we're just wondering what else is a necessity as far as babyproofing goes? Can we just keep doors closed (like to the bathrooms) or do we need to babyproof the toilets too? We will obviously pull up any cords and plug up the extra outlets but then what else? There are so many schools of thought about babyproofing EVERYTHING or NOTHING but what's a realistic in between?

Here's my smarty pants who figured out that he can stand up in his crib. We've had quite a few days of no/terrible naps and he seems to have calmed down with the standing in the crib except when he's up from his nap. Then he's all smiles and so proud of himself. 

Look Mom! Who needs a nap?

My crawler wants to follow Hannity where ever she goes.

 Last night we drove out to Azusa to watch Fresno Pacific play Azusa Pacific in baseball. Dave helped start their baseball program when he was there a few years ago. This was a great excuse to get out of the house, enjoy the nice weather and, of course, see Auntie Sarah!

Taking a little tour of campus we found this gem of a statue. Cornelius & Levi just hanging out on the Cougar Walk.

We spent a couple of innings in the stands and then pulled out our beach blanket and played in the grass. Levi loved every minute of it and kept himself pretty entertained with all the attention from the crowd, the clapping and cheering, the really great (not so great) music and the GAME! 

Every day with our almost 8 month old is exciting and our lives are so much fuller with him in them. Where has the time gone?!
