Standing Tall & Sittin' Pretty

Here Levi is~

Ever so proud of his strong legs, he loves to pull up on your hands and stand up:



Over the past week Levi has really started to sit up well on his own:



And of course, we always need to rest a bit after all of our hard work...
what better place than in Papa's arms:

Gideon Goes to Prom

On Saturday Gideon went to his Senior Prom
It was so fun to watch how excited he got... he was pretty much giddy!

Although the sweetest part was that in the midst of getting ready, picking up his date, meeting his friends, etc...
He wanted to make sure he got a picture with Levi.
He really does cherish our sweet boy~ It's precious and we love it.

So here they are- Levi & Gideon ~ both as handsome as ever:

~ HAPPY EASTER ~

Wishing all of our family and friends a HAPPY EASTER
From the Eggletons :)


Instead of an Easter Basket- we got Levi this little crate and filled it with some goodies:
aka- a sippy cup, a wipe clean bib, sunscreen, and some juice.
The crate collapses which will be great for packing along with us when we move!
I think he also enjoyed it :)



I also recognize that today is not all about baskets, chocolate bunnies and marshmallow peeps...

Good Friday marked a dark day when the God of the universe turned his face
from his Son, Jesus, as he began to face the agony of the crucifixion,
A crucifixion that he willingly walked through so that I could know the Father.
How powerful are those final words he uttered: "It is FINISHED!"
The Gospel is simply that: Jesus in my Place...
How FREEING is this LOVE?
I am liberated from trying to gain the love of God by my actions, but am invited to receive this love because of what Jesus did.

(Experiencing my love for Levi has really allowed me to see deeper into the magnitude of this sacrifice and the depths of God's LOVE)

As we know, the story doesn't end there...
TODAY we celebrate Christ's victory of death because he ROSE.
What a powerful statement~and that same freedom from the bondage of sin is offered to me!
How sweet it is to be loved by HIM... how much easier is it to LOVE Him in light of it all.

~Truly Amazed~

Six Months STATS update

Wednesday- April 20th Levi had his 6 month appointment
Here are his updated STATS:

Height: 25 3/4 inches (25 %)
Which means he only grew 3/4 in. in the past 2 months so we think this might be off.

Weight: 17 lbs. 7 oz. (50%)
We really thought he would weigh about 20 lbs. so we were pleasantly surprised :)

Head Circumference: 46 cm. (95%)
That's right- our kid is a brainiac already!

AND We've started solids- here are his first bites of cereal- Do you think he likes it?






YUMMY!!!!
We've also tried peaches and green beans... more tasty foods to come!

L.O.L.... no really... Laugh Out Loud :)

Here is a true picture of what it means to "LAUGH OUT LOUD"



Of Course, Craig is the master at getting this little guy to giggle-
All he was doing was running toward Levi and I, and Levi just found it hilarious.
Forgive my video skills- I was trying to hold Levi and the camera at the same time :)
and I had to film without "seeing" what I was filming- it actually didn't turn out so bad!
