Levi turned 8 months old almost 3 months ago, November 11. So I’ve got a lot of catching up to do. Here are pictures of him at 8 months. Notice his cute little bottom teeth! Also, notice his black eye. This happened when Jonathan was playing with him, pushing a little fire truck around. The truck slipped and bopped him right in the eye. The result: a black eye just in time for Thanksgiving! Levi was just starting to get into everything, and his favorite was the Christmas tree, which we put up the week before Thanksgiving. He thought it was so much fun to grab the lowest ornaments and pull them off the tree. They usually ended up in his mouth, just like his first sucker. The other boys were eating one, and he thought he needed one too. And, boy, did he enjoy it! Anyway, enjoy the pictures.

I know y’all have been waiting for pictures of our sweet new blessing; so without further ado, we’d like to introduce Levi Craig Rhodes. He was born March 11, 2008 (3.11) at 3.11 pm. He weighed 9 lb. 1 oz. at birth, and was 21 in. long. He looks a lot like Aaron and weighs exactly what Aaron did when he was born. We are all doing fine, and really enjoying our precious new angel. We have truly been blessed with wonderful boys, and this little guy is no different. Can you tell I’m a proud new mommy. . . again?
And, of course, Daddy and brothers were extremely proud too. . .
Ma and Pa welcomed their 4th grandson with smiles, kisses, and lots of hugs.
Our friends, Austin, Alesha, their daughter, Bailey, and Claudia all took turns holding Levi.
We’re really looking forward to more exciting stories to share with everyone, so keep checking back. Better yet, come visit us! We’re excited about Nana and Pepaw’s visit this weekend; and Aunt Dana and our cousin, Katie are coming to see us next week. We’ll be sure to take more pictures!

And now, for the moment we’ve all been waiting for. . . IT’S A BOY!
My heart was kinda set on a baby girl, but it’s exciting to have another boy. I wasn’t disappointed like I thought I would be; and now that I think about it, I’ve realized God must really think a baby boy will complete our family perfectly. So, whatever He chooses for us, I am elated!! I certainly look forward to the many more “You’re pretty, Mama”s, and the “I love you, Mama”s. I definitely can’t get too many of those!!
Everything is still wonderful with the pregnancy. I’m right at 20 weeks and I’m feeling terrific. Just last week I began feeling him move around. A few days later, proud Papa felt him too. He seems to be pretty active, and is growing quickly. He is now 15 oz., which the doctor said is slightly above average, but healthy. Did anyone expect a tiny baby this time around?
We are all really getting excited. It’s beginning to feel more realistic now. The boys are ready to have another brother; and Caleb and Aaron are starting to ask “How does the doctor get the baby out of your belly, Mama?” Does anyone care to help explain that one?
We’re not quite sure about the name yet. We had thought of the name Malachi, but now that we’re sure it’s a boy, we’re rethinking that one!
So thanks for putting up with my rambling. . . I’m just a little overjoyed right now! Please keep our growing family in your prayers, and we’ll keep you posted in the meantime.

We would like to introduce you to our new baby. As surprised as we were to find out we were expecting again, we are getting more and more excited about adding another baby to our family. We were, however, relieved when we went to the doctor today and discovered there’s only one healthy baby. We’ll find out in about 7 weeks whether it’s a boy or girl. We’re really hoping for a baby girl, and already have her name picked out. In fact, the big brothers call the baby “Abby Grace” already.
The ultrasound picture shows the baby lying face down. Her/his head is on the left side and her/his body is curled up in a little ball. The baby’s due date is March 14, 2008; so stay tuned for more pictures and updates! Until then, pray with us for a sweet, healthy baby.
