October Madness/ 5 Months!

October once again was a busy month for us.  We started out the beginning of the month with my sister Melissa’s wedding.  It was fun for Levi to finally meet a lot of family that doesn’t live around here.  He was a trooper for the most part, but teething had begun so he was starting to have his random fussy moments.  Grandpa and Grandma Schmidt came to the rescue and picked him up and Grant and I enjoyed ourselves the rest of the night at the wedding with no worries.

After we recovered from the wedding, it was back to school, work, and daycare for us.  Grant has been working every weekend he can so he is starting to get pretty exhausted. Our days and weeks go by quick since we are so busy.  That is good AND bad! Levi is growing so fast.  This month he is becoming much more independent.  He rolls over every time we lay him down, his new favorite is back to tummy which he used to hate. We are finding him on his tummy pretty much every morning now, he must have realized it is much more comfortable. (At least his mom thinks so!)  Some nights he gets stuck in certain positions that he cannot get out of since he sleeps in flannel sleep sacks! But he will cry and let us know to come in and help him and will usually fall right back asleep.


His two bottom teeth have finally popped through! It has been a long month or so of random fussiness, but I can see and feel both the tops of them now. Next blog post I am sure I will be able to get a good picture of them. He has also been fighting a runny nose off and on for the last couple weeks as well, so the poor guy just can't win right now. 


Carter got her sleep over in a few weeks ago and we went to the pumpkin patch.  She helped Levi pick out his small, baby pumpkin and her big, big girl pumpkin.  Then they looked at all the animals that they have out there. It was a bit windy so we didn't last too long.

Then we were off to the park for a little bit.  Carter had to show Levi how much fun the park was, he enjoyed every minute of it! I am glad he got out to enjoy it before it snows. She sure knows how to wear a little boy out.

We had a follow up appointment with Dr Reinhardt last Friday for his bump on his head. She seems to think it is getting a little better but she is concerned the bones are closing too fast so she wants us to keep our two appointments with the pediatric neurosurgeon's at Children's on November 23rd. We will see what they have to say and go from there.  I am hoping the Dr's see progress now that he is not really on the back of his head as much as he used to be. He was 14lbs even at that appointment.  I will keep you posted!


And the only other EXCITING news is.... We got engaged! Grant surprised me last Monday night with a ring that he went and picked out all by himself.  Of course I gave him ideas over the last few years, but I couldn't have been more surprised! I love it and I stare at it everyday. Knowing me, we have already got a wedding date set of August 27th! Joline and I were quick to get to work the Tuesday after. Here is a picture of the ring!

I think that is all that we were up to for the month.  I will do another update for surely after the Dr appts on the 23rd, but hopefully before.  I also want to wish a HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY to my goddaughter Charli Lynn today!

That's all!
