Look who's 15 months old! Crazy crazy!
This little guy thinks he's all grown up these days. Loves to sit by himself if at all possible. It's been so warm here the last month or so that our outside play is very scarce. Levi doesn't seem to mind the heat, but I can't take it!! Josh and I got him a little pool.....Levi was not so impressed. I think it freaked him out that if he bent down his chin hit the water. So...water hose fun is about the only water activity Levi gets/likes.

Even though Levi is standing on his chair, he is definitely a bit of a cautious baby. He loves to play with his noise machine and lamp. He climbs to do that, and has recently been able to climb on the couch. Other than that, he doesn't really ever climb. I even took him to the play area in our mall, he did not want to climb ANYTHING! Nor did he want me to help him. I'm thinking he needs time to warm up to new places....not necessarily people. He'll go to just about anyone as soon as he meets them, but adventurous...no. Love learning these little things about him!
He does love getting dirty still if we let him.
Even though Levi generally likes to do his own thing, he will come and cuddle or want some momma time. I just love those moments! He is just now learning more what I'm actually saying and responds to it. I'll tell him to go get a book. He'll go get one, bring it back, and then sit in my lap. He may sit there a few pages, but then generally wants back up. But I'll take it! He'll sit longer if it is a flap book or animal book. He LOVES anything with animals these days! He points them out everywhere we go....especially dogs. He does this high pitch sound while pointing.
He's been slowly getting his eye teeth in.....but still no bottom four(only two).
These two bring such joy to me! Thank you Lord!!
We went to a birthday party and Levi sat in a chair all by himself for the first time. He looked so BIG! Tear.
Levi is into everything...all the time! Our house is covered by the end of the day if I don't pick up in between.
Favorite things to do:
**dump out toy buckets
**pull out kitchen utensils
**pull out pots and pans
**tear up tp and kleenex
**stir/cook odds and ends he puts in bowls/pans
**look at animals
**listen to and watch old mcdonald on youtube
**being chased(by Keller, Josh, or me)
So big!
Keller and Levi are still the best of buds!!
Levi has been trying to talk for quite a while, but just recently I can tell he understands the meaning of way more words. He tries to tell me them, but not always clearly.
Daddy: "Dada" (Levi uses lots of inflection at the end of his words...hard to capture in writing)
Mommy: he's not so good at this yet
Bye-bye: "dye-dye" as he waves
Hi: "hiy"
Up: "up" with the p not so clear
Help: "he..." (he sticks is tongue out at the end)
Hot: "ho..." (t not so clear)
Outside: "ousi" (leaves the t and d off)
It's been so fun as Levi has tried to communicate specific things with me now, but he still does a lot of jabbering and 'dada' with a high inflection at the end.
Levi's frustration level has definitely gone up lately. Things that frustrate Levi: he wants something that I'm not understanding, when he can't get a lid off/on, or who knows. He doesn't scream or cry, but he'll push his lips out and kind of grunt. Pretty funny actually.
Levi discovered our drawers in the coffee table. He either pulls everything out or/and sit in them.
Levi takes a bath without his baby tub but loves to pretend he's getting a bath. He even leans his head back for me to 'wash' with water.
Ok...about the paci. He has developed a much stronger attachment to it. As in he wants it all day. I hide it under a blanket while he's awake....seems to help. But would pretty much have it constantly if I let him. :/
Anything Josh does with Levi he loves.
Loves to get messy with food and 'make' his own special concoction. He's still using his left hand for utensils and right for grabbing things.
So very grateful for another month with this little guy! Such a sweet blessing...over and over!
