I have gotten so behind on my monthly updates! I think I skipped three months of Levi's life. Oops! So...here are some pics and info from the last few months. Levi is now 22 months old. Which means we are beginning to plan his 2nd bday. We are going to go with anOld McDonald themed party because this kiddo is still obsessed with anything Old McDonald/animal. Recently he has become interested with many other things as well like trains, cars, building 'big houses' with anything, dinasaurs, and so on.
When we brought Nora home, we got to enjoy the company of Josh's parents. Levi loved all the attention from his papa and granna.
This child absolutely melts my heart!!! He is the sweetest, funnest, smartest little kid I know. I know I'm biased, but seriously, he's very sweet. He loves other kids and people....especially his new sister. He lights up just about every time he sees her. He wants to be laying with her if at all possible, holding her, helping feed her and take care of her. So so sweet!! When we go grocery shopping, or just about any time we go out in public, he's usually telling people hi and whatever else comes to his mind. Usually he points at Nora in her car seat saying "Nora," to whoever will stop and look at him. I love his friendliness! He also will go to about anyone that wants to hold him. This is nice when dropping him off in nurseries. I say 'see ya later' and he's off.
Levi still loves his momma(which I don't mind one bit) but he talks about his 'dayee' all day long. He may miss me for a moment when out of sight but loves to be with Josh. Probably because daddy does fun stuff like build mini snowmen. ;)
As sweet as Levi is with his little sister, he also can be rather rough and mischievious at times. He points to her facial features(almost poking out her eyes), bouncing her in her bouncer(nearly bouncing her out), talking/yelling in excitement about one inch from her face, 'boom boom booming' on her tummy(play punching her tummy/wrestling as learned by grandparents), pulling her around the house in her rock-n play until it gets stuck. You get the idea. I am constantly watching him. Or try to. :)
He is still my blond headed, brown eyed, tall, skinny boy. He's now up to 27 pounds, but looks awefully skinny. His belly still pooches out which I love.
He's become a talking machine. He is so curious about everything...especially language. He wants me to tell him what everything is and repeat back everything he says. He watches and listens carefully trying to say it right. A lot of words are clearly understand and many are not still. Here are my favorite alterations:
'wawee' - water
'dayee' - daddy
'doyee' - doggy or Keller(he refuses to say Keller)
'we-a we-a' - airplane or helicopter
'nowa' - nora
'pakee' - paci
'beep beep' - all cars, trucks
Other interests/obsessions:
the moon
motorcycles(if he hears any engine rev up he starts yelling 'motorcycle', loves to look at them)
bock bock(loves loves loves eating chicken! He asks for it for breakfast, lunch and dinner)
momo(I talk to my mom a lot and we face time often as well. He yells 'momo' any time I talk on the phone or it even rings. When we build things, it is usually for momo....or his cousin Harper.)
drawing with chalk
painting
looking at books(He particularly loves the 'look and find' books or nonfiction. This makes for a boring read but Levi loves it!)
building with his lego blocks or wood blocks(He's rather experimental. The things he builds don't make a lot of sense yet.)
Levi loves his Granna and Papa....talk about fun grandparents!
Levi talks about poopoo and peepee all the time. He sits on the potty. And....nothing. I'm pretty confident he knows the words but not exactly sure how those two things come out. So we're waiting a bit longer on the potty training.
Sweet big brother!
Man, I love this kid!!
We love our dear friends Janna, James, and Hudson.... baby Emmalynn we're ready to meet you!
Getting ready for sweet baby Nora.
'Helping' Momo work out.
Snuggling with Papa....and Tigger.
So handsome!
I thought this was going to be our Christmas picture, but then sweet baby Nora joined our family!
This little guy has never been too big on falling asleep on me...so I take it when I get it even now.
Levi talks about cousin Harper all the time. I love it!
This is another one of Levi's likes/obsessions. He is quite the cook in the kitchen!
Did I mention Levi is still pretty 'chill, go with the flow,' most of the time, kind of kid? He truly is a delight to this momma!
I have absolutely LOVED this stage that Levi is in! Everything is so fun and exciting and new. He is kind, friendly, and just fun to be around. He is becoming more independent but still loves snuggling with me in the mornings, after nap, or when he's sad. He lights up to see me and melts my heart every time. I know that every single child is beautiful and precious, but I am so very blessed and grateful to be this one's momma! What a gift God has blessed us with! Levi, I love you more than you could ever imagine!
