Shirtless...redux

We've had a couple of days with above 85 degree temps here in Philly, and in the Dougherty household that invariably leads to Kevin shucking his shirt off the minute he enters the door, tossing it at the first available piece of furniture, and opening all the windows wide to let in the heat.

some of you remember last summer...when the little one was just getting used to being alive,summer was in full swing, and hairy (and not so hairy) chests were on full display.

oh how time flies when you're having fun--(like father like son).

I love my boys.

.....the number of solo steps (in a row) that Levi took last night!

We Be Jammin'

Hanging with Umi, Sylvie, and friend Demetrius...jammin out at the Lara and Joe Show!

Levi Incognito

Thanks to Auntie Ames, Levi was sporting the Ashanti style China Bang Series locks in Brooklyn this weekend. Levi was mesmerized by Mommy and Daddy's favorite place and had a blast chillin' in the park and hanging with friends.

March Madness!

Milestones

Bubbalicious is turning 9 months next wednesday (March 25th) so I thought I would take the opportunity to list a few milestones:

Standing on his own (for more than a few seconds people...I'm talking minutes...genius)

Clapping his hands

dancing (or some sort of moving up and down to music thing)

wrestling

cruising around the room (using strategically placed furniture)

shaking his head no (as in...no I do not want anymore of that pureed slop mother...)

and....biting. (joy)

the boy has TEETH (finally)...two bottom ones making their way...(hmm, next post..to wean or not to wean)

words (okay fine, babbles):

dada
bababababa
naan
and once, I swear he said it...mama

He has now tried the following foods: (and will not allow himself to be fed...he feeds himself thank you very much):
Tofu (yeck..i know but he loves the stuff)
potato cubes
egg yolk and cheese
yogurt
naan (oh my how he loves naan (indian bread)...he followed me around the living room demanding more..mother more! give me more naan!)
kidney beans (i think we can hold off on that again for now...kidney skins the next day if you know what I mean are not pretty)
rice
AND coffee (long story..involving 5 seconds, mom's back turned and a misplaced mug filled with lukewarm coffee...don't judge.)

little man is so big..
