"Oh, I'm soo sad."
Leevi has major pouting skills.

Day 74 - Relax-athon
"Why'd you have to go and wake me up? I was sooo relaxed."
Bonus Photos:
"Almost there!"
Leevi is starting to sit up a little bit. He can't quite stay up though.

Day 72 - DL Time
"Congratulations, Grandpa!"
We took a trip up to Detroit lakes to celebrate my father's retirement. It was an wonderful celebration, and Leevi had an excellent time.

Day 66 - A Badger Day in Northern Wisconsin
"Go Badgers, Nanna."
We took a trip to the cabin in Tomahawk for the weekend. The Badgers were on, so obviously everyone needed their Badger clothes on.

Day 65 - Football
"Wake me up when Forest Lake is ahead Dad."
Paige had her dance exhibition at the Forest Lake football game. The game did not go so well. Leevi enjoyed it as he usually does most things, by sleeping.

Day 61 - Sock 'Em
"Put em up Dad."
Lots of motion from Leevi these days. He is definitely learning about moving his arms.

Day 56 - One of the Guys
"Dad, shouldn't your hands be as dirty as Uncle Mike's? What gives?"
Uncle Mike, Leevi and I replaced the alternator in the Kia. And by that I mean, Mike taught me how to do it while Leevi chilled in his stroller for a bit.

Day 55 - Swinging Along
"Push me higher!"
Leevi thoroughly enjoys his mobile-swing. Probably the only way you can get him to relax if you aren't holding him/strapping him in to the Bjorn. (Thanks Robyn and Myke).

Day 53 - A quick cabin visit
"Man, it feels good to be out of that car seat!"
We made a short overnight stop at the cabin in Tomahawk to break up the drive home. Well worth it. Plus Grandpa Roger, Uncle Bryan and Aunt Mandy were there.

Day 52 - Presque Isle
"So this is where you and Momma got married, huh?"
We took Leevi and Paige to Presque Isle where we had our wedding Ceremony. Leevi wasn't all that impressed apparently.
Bonus Photos:
Nothing like a little lunch on Blackrocks.
Yes, this is where we went to college. No, we had no idea this overlook existed when we were in school...

Day 51 - Fun Times
"Where are we going next?"
Leevi was a happy camper at the Cabin for most of the time we were there. Not much better than a baby toothless smile.
Bonus Photo:
"Wow, what a view!"
We took a trip up to the top of Sugar Loaf (pretty much required on any visit to Marquette, MI).

Day 50 - The MQT
"While I understand how cool it is out here, its pretty darn cool out here Grandpa Steve."
We took a trip to Marquette, Michigan to visit friends and the old stomping ground. Grandpa Steve and Grandma Alice made the trip up as well. Of course we had to head out to Presque Isle as one of the first stops (well, other than eating at the Border Grill...)
Bonus Photo:
"Not so sure about this thing Mom and Dad. Seems kinda small."
Since space is always at a premium, we decided to bring the screened whatcha-ma-thinger for Leevi to sleep in. He wasn't a huge fan. Lesson learned I guess.

Day 49 - Sun Hat
"You know Mom, most people use hats like this to keep out of the Sun, not to keep warm..."
The weather turned colder quickly. Sometimes you just need a hat.

Day 48 - Calming Effects
"Thanks Kaija, I feel a lot better."
Leevi was having a pretty fussy day, and it was bed time. We set him down on the couch to regroup a little bit. Kaija took it upon herself to snuggle right up to him. Instant reaction. Leevi calmed and fell asleep. Well done Kaija!

Day 47 - Football X 2
"When did the Packers get camouflage jersey's Grandpa?"
Just a quick visit for a little Monday Night Football action. Yes, that is an overage of Packer gear, and yes, it makes me sad.

Day 45 - A Night Away.
"Wait, where are you going Momma??"
My parents came down to watch the kids while we went to a good friend's wedding (which was a super good time). I'd like to pretend in my head that the kids missed us while we were gone. Doubtful.

Day 43 - A Long Day
"Oof. I'm exhausted"
Some times Leevi sleeps really well in your arms. You have to cherish those moments. Especially because Paige was not much of a cuddler.

Day 42 - Thumbs Up.
"Nice and comfy, Mom. Good choice."
Leevi, as with the rest of the family (me excepted) loves warm fuzzy pajamas. I can see the appeal, but the whole concept just doesn't work for me.

Day 41 - Leevi One-Sock
"Seriously, who needs two?"
I am pretty sure it is all babies, but Leevi really has a hard time keeping both of his socks on. Even his hand-me-down super comfy Smartwool baby socks.

Day 40 - Cuddlebug
"I love being wrapped up!"
Leevi still loves his swaddle bag/blanket deal. A lot. He pretty much can't sleep without it. He even likes to have his hands tucked inside. Paige was never that way. By day 40 Paige was over the swaddling, and even before then she really liked to have her space.

Day 38 - Lawn Party
"Welcome to my awesome yard and play room."
We had a party to celebrate the completion of the fence and the back play room. Paige and the kids who came over had a blast. Leevi was awake enough to watch them play too. He is definitely a watcher. He is just so content to sit on his Momma's lap and watch the world around him.

Day 36 - Rolly Polly
"I can al...most....get....there...."
When he is awake (not too often yet) he is sure a mover. He isn't getting over, but he sure tries.

Day 35 - Cheeseburger French Fries.
"Personally, I prefer "Ham On" But we can go with that sister."
Paige isn't too jealous of Leevi most of the time. Every now and again though, she neeeeeds to pop in to a photo.

Day 34 - Lay Your Hands On Me
"Ooh, that's chilly!"
Paige wants to help out with Leevi as much as she can. They had a fun post-bath baby lotion applying session.
