Levi- 2 years old

Levi's my big talker with a big vocabulary, the whys and all the feelings . We celebrated our boy the weekend before Lego style with friends from small group and If table with family. He's smiley friendly, sleeps well and eats tons!

On his actual birthday during the week we took a family trip to a nearby Aquarium 

Levi squealed happily running from tank to tank, it was a hit !

Levi- 18 months

This sweet boy mimics so much around him and wants to do animal sounds endlessly ! He runs everywhere, giggles and wants to do most things on his own. He says hi to everybody and doesn't know a stranger . He's playful, tough and sweet. We love our Levi, he's the perfect addition to our family ! 

So much personality in this little face!!

Size 18 months clothes, size 4 diaper. Sleeps 12 hours and naps like a champ 2-3 hours a day. He has 12 teeth. 

Levi- 15 months

My sweet baby boy at 15 months is 31 1/2 inches tall, 20 pounds and his head is 18 1/2 inches around. He platued due to a bad bout of of stomach issues during June. He wants to eat all day long, so he's working on catching up. Here's the latest and sweetest from Levi

Levi - 1 year!

Thank you to my brother in law Joe for making this one and my father in law Bill for painting it. This guy is SO loved!!!

Sleep:
He usually sleeps at night from about 8:30 pm to 7 am. 2 long naps averaging 1 and a half to 2 hours each, although he's already begun phasing out the morning nap.

Clothes:
H's wearing some 18 month shirts and pajamas now with his length. Shoe size is 4 (we rarely wear them). Size 4 diapers. 12 month check up/ shots this week. I'll update his weight and height and head circumference

Food: He eats four to five times a day. He's now on all table foods plus nursing and some baby food at each setting. This boy can eat!! He doesn't do bibs. Prefers to feed himself rather than us feeding him. He now has six teeth- top four front and bottom teeth. He enjoys putting the toothbrush in his mouth..

Thank you Emily for all the party prep help with the backdrop board!!

Socially:
Very happy and willing to go to people. He waves at everybody!!! Will hug anyone who comes near. He's a guys guy and loves playing with boys and having daddy, uncle, grandfathers hold him. Words: dada and dadee, mama, nana, 'gain (again) yes, Points at things he wants, signs all done and more, mumbles for an extended period of time as though he's holding his end of a conversation. He claps quite a bit.

Developmentally:
Crawling up the stairs, chairs, tables, anything he can. He's quite the active little monkey. 

 He has taken one to two steps several times

He will stand alone momentarily through out the day. Getting up and down with out holding anything for support
Rolls a ball when we roll it to him.
Cruises the furniture pretty fast independently.
Big boy crawls anywhere he wants to go. He moves fast!

Successfully mimics our facial expression, sticking tongue out, especially the super cheesy grin, wink-blinking, hehe
Still puts most new things in the mouth, maybe a little less than he used to.
Will give something up when asked to with out tears (yeaaa). Starting to see some resistance, opinions are forming.
Constantly on the move, doesn't sit still long unless eating.
He crawls over to where we are standing and scale our calves putting his arms up to be picked up.
Will crawl over to brothers and start putting his fingers in ears, eyes and nose if he's still.We are working on concepts like hot/ cold. Up/ down. Labeling things. Asking preferences.

Levi highlight:
First 2 steps
First birthday. We had some family over for a smash cake over the weekend

This tiny sweet boy entered our lives one year ago today and I'm SO thankful God placed him in our family!

Walking boy!!

Levi took his first steps yesterday !! 

Exciting day ❤️

Levi - 8 months

Our precious Levi is 8 months old. He's a sweet easy third baby boy . He sleeps though the night and eats everything in sight . He's about 17 pounds , wears 6 and and 9 month old clothes  (a couple of 12 month) depending on the maker. Hes in size 3 diapers. He rarely spits up . He's rotating and rolling to where ever he wants to go. He makes lots of noises and recently has been going through some separation anxiety . Well fed and rested , he's a peach. He'll go to anyone and is generally laid back. His two big brothers 'love' on him ( pay full out) as often as we'll allow. He's hating the car less , he only screams in the way back from somewhere and if it's dark outside. 

Cradle roll at church :

He's sooo cute. He will hold on and stand up

Levi eats 4-5 things at every setting , starting with mommy milk, 2 containers of stage 2 followed by finger foods. I think next week we'll bump up to stage 3.

Levi- 7 months

Sweet boy eats and sleeps like a champ. Happy as long as he's fed and changed. Goes to anyone full of smiles and charm. Sure do love this precious guy. SO grateful that he joined our family 7 months ago!!
