Silly Levi

…a quick little video of Jenn & Levi having a grand ol’ silly time in our new backyard…
Kids say the darndest things!

So, yesterday, Deyen was getting ready for bed and in the midst of it was running around in his birthday suit happy as a jay bird. Our housemate saw him let out a chuckle and said, “Hey nudey toody.” To which Deyen replied, “Hey fatty watty!”
Enter my look of “embarrassment” and “horror” while trying to contain riotous laughter boiling up from within :-)
It’s a good thing that our friend is as jovial as we (and Deyen) are (it doesn’t hurt that he’s the father of 3 as well).
Frosty takes a dive!

Deyen has been aching for a good snowfall so that he could make a snowman (or a snow Santa, depending on what mood he’s in). The other night at our friends place, he had the chance with their daughter to enjoy the wonderful, wet, good packing snow. After a good build, his 3-year-old instincts took over and – BAM! it came down! Enjoy the carnage!
Cuddles

Momentarily funny things are what life with young kids is about. The chance that you catch one of these moments on tape is a treasure. Below is such a moment.
Levi and Jenn were having fun after Deyen went to bed horse-playing on the bed. He would simply launch himself at the pillows and smile and giggle galore. We managed to get in on tape and called it “cuddling” the pillows.
Laughing…

I love the sound of our boys laughing. When they discover it early on, it’s so amazing to hear them simply giggle away! Jenn can get Levi going and below is a vid of her doing just that!
Music to my ears :-)

I love to upload videos to YouTube of our boys doing things. The challenge is that I rarely find the time to do it in moderation and usually have like 3 or more to show off at once. Well, today we have two for you all to enjoy!
The first one (below) is of Levi crawling. Our little guy took on the challenge and joy of crawling much sooner than his big brother did; then again he has a greater reason to – keep up with brother!
This one is of our good friend feeding Levi some solid(ish) food. That’s right, the little gaffer has already started his solid food journey. It feels like just yesterday that we were meeting him for the first time! Man, how time flies :-)
Gloomy – definition by Deyen
// December 4th, 2009 // No Comments » // Deyen, photo
[gloo-mee]
-adjective, gloom-i-er, gloom-i-est
When you feel tired of playing a game and you sigh, and then you have to play with your toys.

Freakin’

“Can you put Levi in the freakin’ tent?”
“Excuse me?”
“Can you put the freakin’ baby in the freakin’ tent?”
“…I dont’ know…”
Now, imagine that conversation with the innocence of a 3 year old. Because that is exactly who I had the conversation with…Deyen. He is constantly coming up with new words that we are never quite sure about. This new one, “freakin’” he did not use in a vulgar way, I don’t think, and so, when I said, “excuse me?” it was more a point of clarification, not because I was upset by what he said. So then when he responded with “freakin’ baby” I almost doubled over in laughter (so did Jenn).
Then, to top off the night, I wore my old glasses while attending to Deyen in the bath and he looks at me and says, “those glasses are funky daddy.”
I love this kid!
