Enjoying the season!

Levi Smiles

I can't believe Levi is already 7 weeks old and smiling the sweetest smile. He is also holding on to those blue eyes. I am crossing my fingers that they don't change. One of my boys needs to have my blue eyes, don't ya think?
Joshua sported an AF jersey with his daddy's old number and a blue mohawk for the AF vs Navy football game. He went to the game and was disappointed in the loss. But, he loved watching the Falcon mascot, from a distance. He did get the courage up to give him a high five but that was about it.

Some shots with our family!

Matt's grandma turned 80 last week and we hosted a party for her at our house. She is the most energetic and spunky 80 year old I've ever met. She makes Joey look like he's standing still. Ok, not quite, but we know who he takes after ; ) Here she is holding her great-grandson : )
Some of the adults at the party, I use that term loosely.
Some more of the adults, again I use that term loosely, especially at this table.
Where the real action was... the kiddie table. I guess I put all my boys in orange unintentionally. Or maybe, it's because some days I feel like a prison ward and I am constantly trying to keep them in line. As you can see in the picture, I'm not doing so well.

Aunt Brittnie lovin' on Levi. Oh no! Watch out folks, crazy guy behind the wheel. So, Joey has figured out how to push the pedal but doesn't quite understand the whole steering thing. Interesting! As you can see, he's not loving the helmet either.
I stole some snuggles from Joey who doesn't normall sit still long enough for even a quick hug.
This is Matt's Uncle Kipp holding Levi Kipp Rillos.
Matt and our brother-in-law Brian. Pretty sure there are more pictures of Matt making this face than there are of him smiling normal. Gotta love the goofball don't ya?

Just two shots of Levi with two of his biggest fans...

Mom and Levi get some snuggles in. I don't know how many times I've heard "can I hold him?" come from Joshua's mouth in the last 2 weeks. He's such a proud and loving big brother.

2 weeks has just flown by...

The boys and Brian play on the playset before dinner... then they relax in the hot tub before bed.
Levi looking so cute at 2 weeks old. He had his 2 week check up yesterday and has gained 10 oz since birth. The doc said they like to see them back at their birthweight at this checkup, so I guess he's a good eater like I suspected. Go Levi!
Levi sleeping like a little angel. I love how his hands are in this picture.
Joey headed up the stairs so he can go down the tube slide, right on Caleb's tail.

My best friend from college, Robyn, visited us for a few days. She and her boys Brian and Duncan are so sweet. I'm afraid my boys may have ruined her 3 year old though. It was so great to visit with her and catch up. Her hubby is getting ready to deploy for 7 months for the third time in three years. I don't know how she does it.

1 week old and loving every minute of it!!!

Levi is putting on some pounds already. He's a good eater and a good sleeper. Thank God!
With four boys, mama needs a little sleep : )

Grandpa, Joshua, and Levi snuggling. Joshua loves his baby brother and can't seem to hold him enough.

Levi is heaven sent!

Captain Adorable! Joey checks out his new baby brother!
Mom and her boys!
So much LOVE!
Daddy and his boys!

So far Levi is winning the title for easiest Rillos baby ever! I'm crossing my fingers that it continues for a while, at least til he's 18 : ) The brothers all LOVE him and nobody, even Joey, has shown any sign of jealousy! Hallelujah! You just never know. They all look for him in the morning and are very interested in his noises, faces, and behavior. So cute! They've, being Caleb and Joshua, have already put their order in for another one. Don't know if Daddy or Mommy will be entertaining that thought any time soon! Our cup runneth over!

Thank you all for welcoming Levi into this world with us!
