Nate & Kristen’s Weblog

Its been a while since I’ve talked about the boys so here we go. Levi is almost three, he always has some funny thing to say and his perception of the world around him is great to take in. The other day Levi was standing on the railing of our patio saying hi to people as they walked by. When our neighbor with the dog who bit me came by he told him that his dog is a bad doggy several times. I don’t think the neighbor appreciated it but I was chuckling behind the wall. Levi loves Nate and everything that Nate is interested in. He ask Nate if he wanted to go to Everest with him when he gets bigger and asked Nate if that would make him happy. Levi also spends some of his day on the computer “working”. He is very social and wants to go to school. He often will put on his Oregon Ducks back pack, his helmet and hops on his tricycle telling me he is going to school. He was having some trouble with jealousy, if Nate hugged me he would get in the middle of us and tell Nate I was his Mommy. Nate would do it just to bug him, I’m glad that didn’t last to long. This picture was taken around Christmas when we went to Vasquez Rock state park. Levi was a little timid about climbing around at first but soon he was all over the rocks having a blast. Its hard to believe my baby is so big already.
Now for Conrad. He is still the cutest baby I’ve ever seen and yet some how he didn’t win the Regis and Kelly’s most beautiful baby contest. He finally took his first steps on Saturday when Nate was off in the forest with the camera. He refuses to do it again. We ask Conrad if he can walk and he nodes his head yes and then walks on his hands and feet or he just says no. He wants to be involved in everything and is like Levi’s little puppy dog following Levi everywhere. He has mastered the stairs and can get off the couch or bed with no problem. He loves to read books and pushes his car around. In the morning he stands in his crib and yells mommy until I come and get him and he is much more stubborn than Levi ever was. I love them both so much and look forward to every stage of their lives.
