Levi's Likes

Levi's likes are simple, bottles of milk, snuggles from the family, kisses and hugs, singing, and his rattles. He is all ready smiling and cooing at us. We love it. He is such a welcome addition to our family. He is in 0-3 month clothes, and will quickly be in in 3-6 months. He has the softest hair. He has had 3 negative HIV tests and will only need one more to be clear and free. We are so blessed to have him in our lives. The boys love him so much. I am always amazed at how welcoming our boys are to new little ones. I thought they might be jealous, but they just smother him with lots of love. Our boys are the BEST!!!

Daniel's Likes

Daniel is our pickiest eater. He does like food, but he doesn't eat as well as his brothers. He does however drink milk like crazy. He would easily drink 6-8 cups a day, but I usually don't let him. He likes cold cereal for breakfast. I really haven't found a food he loves, he just likes things, but nothing jumps out.

As for shows, he loves Blue's Clues and Mickey Mouse. Those are the favorites. He also loves Dora and Diego along with Little Bear, Team Umi Zoomi, Backyardigans, and most Disney movies.

He doesn't want to talk much yet, but I know he can and I bet when he starts we will wonder why we ever worried about his speech. He likes toys with noise, cars, soft animals, and real animals. All my boys love animals so, it is too bad the animal hair aggravates Daniel's Asthma. Daniel loves animals, and farm life. He loved riding tractor and 4-wheeler when we went to the farm. We love our little DanDan.

Nathan's Likes

Nathan, like Derek enjoys fruits and veggies, although he doesn't like fruit as much as Derek. For food he loves, Oatmeal, Pancakes, Noodles and Rice. He will often ask for noodles for a snack, and could care less if they are cooked. Raw noodles are a favorite snack of his. For his birthday, in two days, I will probably buy him either a bag of pancake mix, or a box of oatmeal as he asks for one of those at least daily, sometimes for all 3 meals.

His favorite shows to watch are #1 Scooby Doo!!! He even prays for Scooby Doo at night. He also enjoys Star Wars, Little Bear, Franklin, Never Land Pirates, Disney movies and Backyardigans.

He often comes up to me and Jordan and tells us "I Love You." It melts our hearts. He is very sweet, but has a silly side. He may be a bit of a teaser. He likes us to tickle him, but he isn't very ticklish. He just kind of wiggles and pretends to laugh. We call him our sniggler, a snuggler with lots of wiggles. He is our best sleeper. He falls asleep fast and stays in his bed better then any of the boys.

You can tell all our boys are brothers, but Nathan I think is going to look the most different. He has a round face and very predominate eyebrows that I love. They remind me of his Daddy's uni-brow. I know he may not like them at times as he grows up, but I love his unique eyebrows and his big smile. We love your Nathan.

Derek's Likes

I thought it would be fun to record some of the likes of my children:

Derek: Fruit, especially apples, plums, mangoes, pears, and well just about any fruit. He eats fruit daily. We actually have to tell him he can't have any more fruit until he eats other things. He also likes his vegetables, but prefers them raw. All though he will eat them cooked. He is also a sugar boy, and loves candy, but not so much cookies or other baked goods. He loves cookie dough, but once baked one is enough.

He is into the cartoons "Little Bill," "Neverland Pirates," "Little Bear," "Arthur," the old "Scooby Doo," and "Tom and Jerry, and the movies "Star Wars," "Duck Tales," any animated Disney.

He recently told me he would rather not have toys because he doesn't like to clean. We will see how long that lasts, but it has been 3 days since he played with any toys. He loves playing outside in the sand, riding bikes, and joining his parents up in the mountains to camp and hike. He would also love to fish, but doesn't get the chance as we are always swamped with younger kids. He is also very crafty and loves to color, draw, play with play dough, and put things together like puzzles, and small models.

Derek is my more serious contemplative boy. He is also my most ticklish boy. I don't even have to tickle him, but just pretend and he is wiggling on the floor in laughter. He can't wait to go to school. He wants a back back. He enjoys snuggling with us and reading books. We are realizing that he enjoys toys, cartoons, or books with black people, thus his like of "Little Bill." He loves making new friends. He is my wondeful little boy.
