Milestones and the Treehouse

Each of our boys hit milestones today!!!
Jace finally rolled over (while we were watching)! He has actually been rolling belly to back for over a month now, we just have never witnessed it. I would put him on his stomach and run to the other room, when I got back, he'd be on his back. Another time Rick was sitting in the room with him and still didn't see it. Today I had just missed it again while across the hall doing laundry so Rick rolled him over and he rolled 4 or 5 times in a row for us! It was fun to see him figure it out.
Levi hit a milestone of his own... He pooped in the potty!!! The past few days he has been wanting to sit on the toilet a few times but never accomplished more than playing with the toilet paper and frustrating me (though I did sit there patiently with him). Today before nap he wanted to go on the toilet and after 15 minutes and me asking several times if he was done... he pooped!
Last Monday Rick didn't have to work so we took Levi to the Children's Treehouse museum. He had a great time...
sitting in the "oval office"
"going" to Japan and many other countries, and just being a kid. He didn't care much for the slide, it was too fast and flipped him upside down.
Last week my best friend Kertsi was in town from Chicago with her girls and stopped by for the afternoon. Levi was not in a sharing mood and wasn't very nice to Ava. The next morning he kept asking "Ava play?" and was sad she was gone.
Left to right... Jace, Ava, Amelia, Levi.
Kertsi and I have shared so many memories together. We met in college about 6 months before my mission and for the 3 months prior were inseperable. Since then we have done a lot together, traveled to Europe, camped, shopped, played and have even shared many milestones of our own together. We were married 2 weeks apart, had our first kids 1 week apart and the second kids 1 1/2 months apart. I wish we lived closer so that we could see each other more.
Levi discovered stickers this morning, not really a milestone, but he had a grand time.

The boys are too cute Tiana! That is great that Levi is being such a big boy with the potty training. It took Kaleb awhile but I think I pushed him too much before the actually achievement. Also when Karmindy came a long there was some recession. He finally got it though. It is nice not having two in diapers! I can't believe how much Levi looks like you! What a handsome little man. Both of your boys are so cute. Hope you are doing well!

I should hate you for that milestone of Levi's...Isaac was almost twice his age when he did that...but I'm not surpised really. Your kids are bound to be ahead of the game in the rest of life, why not potty training too?? :)

LOOOOOVE the sticker shot!
