Levi is 2

My sweet, precious, full of life baby is no longer a baby.  On June 15, he turned 2.  (How we got here.....to where our youngest of four is TWO.....I just can't even grasp it).

I adore my Beebers more than I could ever explain.  He is just......perfect.  Even though he is not much younger than the other kids, he somehow is our family mascot.....we all just love him to pieces.  Everyone practically smothers him with love.  He is definitely the baby!!  We all just think he's the best.

Levi makes us laugh on the regular.  The only word he can say is "mama", so instead of learning to talk, he just screams and points.  Surprisingly, it's quite effective.  Haha!

The Beeves (other nicknames: Beevers, Leviticus, Ruebenstein, Moisha---don't ask on the last 2, LOL) is so precious.  He loves to give "sugars" (kisses) and snuggle.  He is very active and keeps up with the big kids quite well.  He is daring and wild, mostly because he's 2 trying to act 8.

Favorite foods: black beans and rice, grapes, strawberries, NutriGrain bars

Sleeping habits: screams and jumps in his crib for like 2 minutes, then lays down and falls asleep quickly.  He takes one nap a day.

Likes: social functions (if I put my shoes on, he puts his on....as to say "you're not leaving me home"), playing with balls (he will shoot baskets in Caleb's room for long periods of time), playing in the kids' kitchen, painting with poop (not even kidding; he's done this like 10 times....so nasty), baths (probably because of the poop, haha), running around outside.

Dislikes: the word "no", riding in a stroller, riding in the car for long periods of time, missing out on anything social


I love love love love my little Levi.  He is beyond sweet, and I love to snuggle and play with him.  I am so thankful God chose this little boy to complete our family (for now, at least) because he is more than I could ever ask for.

The Book I May or May Not Write

I have the nicest friends in the world.  When I write a short, quippy thing my kid said on Facebook, my very nicest friends will say, "I can't wait for you to write a book." I sort of feel like people are American Idoling me....you know, encouraging me to do something I'm passionate about even though I am not really good at it---never thinking I would actually have the audacity to pursue it---but then they're in too deep with the lie....but even so, those comments make me feel good.  (Which is kind of weird, possibly narcissistic, because it's actually my kids being entertaining, and not my words.  Yet I press on.) I wrote for 31 days straight in October, and I discovered maybe I am not so good at writing more than 2 sentences at a time.  So I decided maybe writing a book wasn't in my future. But then I spent a lot of time thinking during November and realized that, even if no one reads what I write, I think it would be really fun to put into words w...

Another Child One Day

Going back through my posts, I realized I had a few blogs I wrote but never published. One is when I was wavering between adopting or birthing our fourth child. One thing is for sure: our family is not complete. I cannot explain that other than I just know. For awhile there, I was strongly contemplating adopting, but for now, I am leaning more towards birthing the last child. In fact, I am most certain, God willing, that is what our plans are. We are trying to decide when to try to have a baby. And by "try", I mean get pregnant. I have many weaknesses, but fertility is not one of them. In case you can't tell. Our kids are fairly close, so one part of me wants to get pregnant in about 9-10 months....and be done. Forever!! But another part of me wonders if I should take a longer break. See, I have this really weird feeling (that is probably not going to happen) that I will have twins. For one, Brett has always wanted five kids, and I only want four. Things jus...

Christmas Traditions

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Along with pretty much everyone else, this is my most favorite holiday. As my children age, it just keeps getting better and better!! Establishing traditions is one of my goals during the holiday season. I am a sentimental person, and I am hopeful my kids will grow up with fond memories of their childhood Christmases. Most, if not all, of my traditions are not original. I glean ideas from others and make it my own. The Happy Home Fairy is a wonderful resource for making your holiday magical. The Williams Family traditions: - We stay home for Christmas. We travel during the holiday break, but for Christmas Eve and Day, we are home. To be honest, this was hard to do because I know family members on both sides want to see our kids, but I wanted to do what was best for our family. We welcome anyone who wants to come visit on Christmas, so we are great to have others in our home. And there are many reasons we choose to stay home. ...
