So...I am definitely a bit late posting this. Levi turned ten months on the 27th. This month was fun, but a blur. We were on the go constantly! I had to look back at Levi's 9 month post to even remember how he has changed this month. Is that terrible?! Anyway...here we are: 10 months!
It seems like once Levi discovered table food....and his hands as utensils, he never looked back. I think there was actually a week or so in there that he hesitated on table foods. But since then he loves just about anything I put in front of him. He shovels it in his mouth as fast as he can get it there. His pincer grasp is getting better, but he still uses his whole hand to shove food in. I definitely still have to pick up dropped food(from his bib and chair) and replace it on the tray quite a bit.
Favorite foods: black beans, peaches, cheese, broccoli, eggs
It's kind of pathetic actually. He eats these foods at least once a day just about. He just LOVES them!
So...as grateful as I am that Levi is a pro at eating table food already, he has pretty much decided formula is for the birds. Literally...the stinker will hardly drink any formala!!! I can maybe get 10 oz down him a day....tops! He LOVES water....but don't even think you can fool this one into drinking formala mixed in anything, or in any other cup. Too smart for that! :D I'm going to try mixing in formala with whole milk later today and see if he takes that.

I just love this guy! He is such a sweety! He just roams around the house doing his own thing most of the time. He just entertains himself with toys, pulling up-shuffling-sitting down over and over again, pulling anything he can reach off everything, climbing on Keller, etc.
Favorite toy: anything that makes noise(If he can get two noise toys going at the same time he's really happy! He bounces his little body any time he hears any form of music or beat. He might be the musical one out of this family. Ha!)
I'm still squeezing him into 9 month clothes, but he fits into 12 mo clothes more comfortably.
Still wearing size 4 diapers.
Here are his stats for his 9 month appt(1 1/2 months ago now):
height: 29.5 inches (83%)
wieght: 18.12 lbs (19%)
head: 17.75 cm (40%)
I have no idea how much he's grown since then, but let's just say he's still a lightweight. Ha. He basically just won't eat unless he's good and ready. He's just my skinny minny.
Did I aleady say how much he LOVES this water cup with a straw!?
Time for another hair cut. At least his hair grows like crazy even if he doesn't. :D
Levi just got in his third tooth this month. He has his two bottom ones and I was waiting for two top ones. And then some random side tooth comes through the other day. I think the eye tooth...is that what one is called?
Every day Levi gets braver and braver letting go of things and just standing. But no attemp to walk on his own without holding on to something yet.
Levi loves to play under the table for some reason. Thankfully no big bruises yet.
He loves to play games much more now like chase and peek-a-boo.
He still loves to be read to. He went through a phase of flip books, but now just seems entertained with whatever I read him.
No distinct words yet, but Levi "talks and talks" with lots of dada, mama, baba, gaga, vava and so on. He says it with such intensity or just quietly to himself over and over. So cute!
One of our trips this January was to Pagosa Springs, CO with Josh's very big family. It was lots of fun! This day we went on a beautiful train ride in Durango.
I love watching Levi light up every time Josh comes home from work. Blesses me every time.
We finally got to bundle Levi up real good. It was freezing! It never gets that cold down in San Angelo.
Josh's cousin's daughter, Kinley helped a lot with Levi. She carried him everywhere and entertained him the whole trip. So grateful for her help!
This is a rare and sweet moment for this momma. Levi always just sleeps in his bed, but apparently too tired to care here. I love my independent little bitty, but that also comes with not much snuggling. Treasuring these moments.
Levi got pulled around the house in a baby sled. He loved it!
Snow!!!
I was more worried about Levi getting sunburned here than cold. It was rather toasty.
Levi loved his first sledding experience. He'd move his body to make the sled move forward and then smile.
I was busy enjoying the sledding hill myself. It definitely brought the kid out in me. Ha! Until I fell off and realized I'm not a kid anymore. Hurts much more than it used to. :D
A little friendly racing.
I sure love these two a lot!
