Day 306 - House
Just some outdoor patio fun at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
Day 305 - Time to Play
Changing out of Pajamas is clearly optional.
Day 304 - Big Slide
Leevi has moved on up to the big kid slides. (Also, apparently that is his "playground outfit."
Day 303 - Troublemaker
Lies. Lies. Lies. Leevi has a big everything. reach. And is curious about just about everything he can reach.
Day 302 - Go-Karts
Our driveway is pretty much a go-kart track these days. Some day Leevi will be able to keep up. Today was not that day.
Day 301 - Hanging by the Pool
Paige had swimming lessons, so Leevi had to hang out on the pool deck. He made the most of it.
Day 299 - Behind Bars
Babies spend a fair amount of time behind bars. Leevi doesn't mind too much most of the time.
Day 298 - Jump Zone?
Well, the jump zone isn't quite as exciting for the infants and toddlers. His sister sure had a good time.
Day 297 - FaceTime
Leevi is also starting to get interested in FaceTime. Pretty amazing that video chat is so easy to operate that a 4 year old can do it and show her little brother.
Day 296 - Bath in Black
Leevi was not super excited about warm baths. He is starting to turn that around though.
Day 295 - Uncomfortable
It is amazing the different positions that babies can find comfortable enough to sleep in.
Day 294 - More Dirt.
Dirt, Dirt, and More Dirt. As to be expected I suppose.
Day 293 - Carry A Big Stick.
Sun, water, dirt, sticks. Summer has arrived, despite the date.
Day 292 - Packing Up
"Is it already time to go? It went so quickly!"
Unfortunately with camping comes cleaning up and packing on the last day. The site always looks so empty when you are done.
Day 291 - Ladder Golf
We had the annual ladder golf tournament, and Leevi wanted to get in on the action. Or maybe it was just the golf balls that he wanted.

Day 290 - All smiles again.
Temporary grumpiness was clearly the case.
Day 288 - Walk.
Well, it's that time of year again. Time for camping. Leevi was clearly ready for a walk.
Day 286 - Tuesday Soccer
We made it back in time for Paige's soccer game. Leevi was very excited to see all of the soccer balls around.
Bonus Photo:
Paige was showing Leevi the finer points of jumping on a trampoline. It took some time for Leevi to adjust to the surface, but had fun anyway.
Day 285 - Bumpy Roads
A short trip to the cabin wouldn't be complete without a ride or two in the push along car. Bumpy roads and all. Leevi doesn't seem to mind.
Day 284 - Bridge Construction
Just a little bridge construction.

Day 283 - Hunting Rabbits
We have a plethora of wildlife that likes to run through our back yard. Rabbits, squirrels, pheasant, mice, muskrat, you name it. Kaija is definitely quite interested. Leevi, not quite as much, but still very interested.
Day 282 - Baby Healing Powers
It is pretty amazing how quickly kids can heal. Leevi had quite the scratch on his forehead, and it is quickly diminishing.
Day 281 - Alligator Swamp
We decided to take the kids out to eat at the Water Street Brewery (yes, it is kid friendly, and yes, they do have a kids menu), which is a local restaurant and brew pub. Very good food, pretty bad beer. They have a nice patio that overlooks a wetland type area and....the freeway. The loud, busy freeway. We probably won't go back.
Day 280 - A Leevi in Motion stays in Motion
Leevi is moving. He is moving all the time. Lots and lots of energy.

Day 279 - Road Rash
Leevi took a pretty good digger trying to stand on his push car on the cement. Thankfully I think it looks worse that it actually is. Mostly just skin abrasion. Leevi being the consummate trooper, was able to pick himself up and get going again quickly.
Day 277 - Mother's Day
Paige and Leevi wanted to surprise Valerie for Mother's day with Breakfast in Bed. Very exciting times, although trying to eat syrupy pancakes in bed isn't easy (or at least so I am told, not having had breakfast in bed before.)
Day 276 - Our Baby Can Read.
Ok, not really. However, he does like to throw books around. That is close, right?
Day 275 - Teddy
Leevi likes stuffed animals quite a bit, but doesn't really show any allegiance to one in particular. Perhaps this will change over time, but my old teddy bear did the trick for this day anyway.
Day 274 - The Ottoman Shuffle
Leevi is starting to pull himself up and scoot along the furniture. He doesn't have a lot of balance yet, but it will get better.
Day 273 - Crawling in the Dark
A little late-night crawling for Leevi. Along with some late night nose-dripping.
Day 272 - Winter Olympian-in-Training.
Looks like Leevi is getting ready for the upcoming Winter Olympics. He is hoping to perfect the Triple McDuss 360° just like his big sister.
Day 271 - The Not Quite Greatest of the Pureed Vegetables
Squash < Sweet Potato
Day 270 - The Not Quite Greatest of the Great Lakes
We are lucky enough to live very close to Lake Michigan, so we decided to take a little day trip because it was so warm. As it turns out, the temps dropped by about 20 degrees as we approached the lake, but we still had a good time exploring the town of Port Washington and the harbor area. It isn't quite Lake Superior (the greatest lake on earth), but Lake Michigan is still pretty cool, and it is nice to be living so close to the Great Lakes again.
Day 269 - Tunnel of Fun
Kids can turn almost anything into great fun. Especially when brightly colored.

Day 268 - Table Time
Leevi seems to really like playing under the table, much to Kaija's chagrin.

Day 264 - Good Times
Yeah, he definitely ends up in different places than where you left him...
Day 263 - On the Bottom
Maybe to all of us, but to him, it is a world of excitement. right? RIGHT?
Day 262 - Move Along, Move Along
No rest for the weary Leevi. That is our family's way. No need to sit back and ruminate on what is done. Keep on moving to the next goal.d
Day 261 - Garage Operation.
Don't be bothering Leevi and Kaija when they are clearly busy working on things in the garage. You've been warned.
