Benjamin is just now showing an interest in walking at 15 months old. He still needs to hold on to something or he sits down. Levi loves his little brother and takes every opportunity to assist.

Just wanted to put a small clip of Ede up so everyone can see how alert she is now.

Levi's karate promotion


Levi was promoted on Thursday night and got his first black stripe on his belt. He will begin learning his first kata next week to earn his gold belt maybe before the end of the year. Levi really enjoys karate and has been taking it for about a year.

Levi's first steps

This was levi's first steps and he hasn't stopped moving since. I believe he was about 12 to 13 months old when he did this.

One happy family!!!!


Our two little boys!!!



With Eden coming into our lives we started looking back at some old pictures. We found out very quickly that all of our kids look so much alike. We can easily see Benjamin is some of Levi's old photos and so far Ede seems to resemble Ben in so many ways. The two boys have such different temperments though.

Levi is our analytical thinker. If it's out of order Levi takes note. He will talk your ear off about anything. Levi loves to be in the middle of it all and comment or inquire about what he sees. He loves to read, or should I say, be read to and we are all excited about him starting Kindergarden in the Fall. Levi loves being a big brother!

Benjamin is our love bug with an Irish temper. He loves to hug and kiss on you but you better not cross him or he lets you know it. He can already throw a good temper tantrum. We are practicing just getting up and leaving the room when he does it. Ben is so laid back, he's almost 16 months old and is just now taking an interest in walking.

Eden is too little to tell much about her yet. I can say that when her belly isn't bothering her she is the perfect little baby. She eats, sleeps and dirties diapers. She is only 11 days old and we have gone thru over 100 diapers!

We are so blessed to have each one of these special spirits in our home. We look forward to watching each child grow and learn. We also look forward to being reunited with Ava and learning all about her as well.

Keep up with all the milestones here on our Blanton Family Blog!
