Levi is now 8 months old. He is just the most loveable, social and smiley baby ever created. He honestly cannot help but smile. All my babes have been smiley but he totally tops the charts. Even if he hurts himself he will stop to smile at you before carrying on crying. He doesn't even cry much. This kid has just entered this world and fitted in. I love him sooooo much. The other kids love him too.

Caleb thinks Levi is great, infact it is a little worrying to see the two of them laughing together. It looks like the start of mischeif already. The good thing is that Levi is taking his time with crawling and I am not in a hurry for him to up and go. He is very close so I think he will be away soon. All his little friends of the same age are on the move and it is the beginning of the discipline stage when they are moving. Gone are the days of knowing where they are when you put them down. It's the beginning of the "no" era. The tumble down the stairs stage and black eyes on the edge of the tables that make it look like you are abusing your child. So all in all I am quite happy for him to sit and smile.

The girls are great with him. They love to give him a bottle that he started taking about a month ago. He self weened. They are also great at taking him to play for a while. It is so much easier with more children. People often look at me with jaw dropped when they find I have 5 kids but it is honestly easy now than it ever was. I love my kids to bits.

Levi has become known as Luffy as Caleb could not say his name properly when he was first born, it seems to have stuck.

Dino our Chinese boarder is also great with him. He has learn't to change a nappy and is enjoying seeing all the developmental stages.

David has continued his current job and has also stated writing for a web site call applematters.com He does a weekly artical. It's amazing how quickly a week goes by and you realise that you need to have another artical written.

Levi just makes me smile to think about him. I really hope that his personality remains jovial and fun.

Maybe I should start posting here again to keep a record of our family even though it's not about baby no.5 anymore.
