Pumpkin Patch! Happy Halloween!!!

Here are some pictures of us at the pumpkin patch in Elgin 

and buying a pumpkin with Grammy & Grandpa.  

  

Levi Loves the color Orange.  

Levi loves to hit everything and turn ordinary items into drums. 

We all imagined the pumpkin patch would be an exciting time.  

Apparently giant orange hard fruits are not pleasant! 

Even though we were able to capture memorable sweet pictures, 

we also captured a few melt downs!!! 

Here are our out takes ;)

Rough Week

We have had a rough week here at the Cunningham house! 

In the middle of the night last Wednesday, Grandpa Doug went to heaven 

to meet my mom and see his family! 

Grandpa Doug was a sweet man with lots of stories.  Yoga was very important to Grandpa.  He did it everyday.  He even taught yoga to a few friends last year at his assisted living home.  Grandpa always wanted to be independent and lead a full life.  He will be greatly missed!    

Sunday Brian participated in the LiveStrong Challenge here in Austin. 

A beautiful tribute to all survivors and those we have lost.  It is a weekend of success stories and to remember how short life is.  Brian and I are proud that we are cancer survivors! 

Car2Go donated a car to the challenge.

They allowed personal inspirations to be written all over it.  

Here are a few pictures dedicated to Grandpa Doug! 

Wednesday night Levi got his first stomach bug! 

& Momma got it Thursday morning! 

I think it's one of the worst bugs I have ever had.  

My heart broke for Levi who had no idea what was going on. 

We snuggled, watched TV, napped, and slowly started eating/drinking. 

Sunday Daddy did the LiveStrong Challenge.  

He came home, got sick, and could not keep fluid in him.

We spent Sunday night at Round Rock ER hydrating him! 

Finally everyone is well.

Tomorrow we all will be going back to work & school! 

We look forward to healthier happier weeks ahead! 

11 Months Old!

For Levi's 11 Month Birthday, we took him to the park for the first time!  

He had a BLAST!!! I think it is a sign we will be going to the park a lot more in the future! 

Levi loves people.  Seeing all the other kids could entertain him for hours.  Plus the park was filled with bright colors and lots of new things to touch! 

Brian and I were typical first time parents and took hundreds of pictures of our little boy at the park.  Sometimes its the simplest things that make a kid and his parents so happy! 

Levi is starting to look less like a baby and more like a little boy! 

 Levi did not want to leave!! 
& we can not wait to go back! 

P.S. We were going to update the blog design for Levi's 1st birthday, 

but we loved this design so much, it came a month early ;)

Bath Time Fun!

Bath time is always so fun at our house.  Levi LOVES the bath!!  

He splashes and giggles the whole time!  

Here are a few pictures of bath time! 

Using His Walker!

Levi has played with his walker for weeks!  He spins the pinwheel, he pulls on the doors, he chews on the envelopes.  He has always loved his walker.  It provides hours of entertainment.  It has always moved too fast, so Levi happily plays with it sitting down.  

Over the past few weeks Levi has become more and more confident standing and pulling himself up.  He now can stand holding on only with one hand.  Tonight we decided to see if he could use the walker as it is intended to be used.  It was a huge success!!! 

Watching Levi walk by himself shocked Momma!  Her little boy is growing up!

10 Months!

Levi is now officially 10 months old and the light of our lives!! Oh boy have we had a busy month!  This past month we had our first trip to the ER, another trip to California, Levi in school full time, and LOTS of Laughs!  Levi is starting to understand laughter and humor.  If we laugh, he laughs.  It is the best feeling to hear your child laugh.  

Top Stories of the Month
*Levi stuck a puff in his mouth and said Mmmm.... Momma laughed 
*Levi loves looking at himself in the mirror.  While in California he saw mirrored closet doors.  He got to see himself really close in the mirror and gave himself a kiss.
*Levi now plays by himself.  He loves to sit surrounded by all of his toys and play.  
*Levi is starting to understand what we are saying and is starting to know right from wrong.  He knows he needs to sit in the tub and will try to sneak standing if you do not watch him carefully. 
*Levi is very ticklish and loves to laughs.
*Levi has learned to understand counting to 3.  I say out loud 1, 2, and 3.  On 3 I tickle, or blow air on him, or tip him to the side.  He starts to smile when I say the number 2, because he knows something is going to happen at 3. 

*Camille gave Levi his first balloon friend.  He Loved it! 
*Levi has learned to say DaDa.  He loves his daddy.
