Levi is 19 months


Levi is officially a year and a half old! (Ok, he's officially 19 months but I'm a little behind.) So, it's time for a quick update and some cute pictures of my little big guy. He's weighing in at 30lbs 7oz and he's definitely thinning out and loosing some of that baby chub. He seems taller and more grown up every day. Without the pacifier in his mouth, his language has quadrupled over night. I can try to list all the things he "says" but I'd probably forget a few and, to be honest, a lot of them are only intelligible to me. But as long as I'm paying attention to the context  of his play and conversation I can usually understand him. He even woke up from his nap the other day and said "I cold toes" which is the first sentence that I could completely understand. Go Levi! He is still a good eater, he likes chicken and corn and fruit and milk. He loves fruit snacks and could eat 8 packs if we let him (which we don't) so they come in handy as treats. He likes anything that has wheels or flies and points our every car, truck, plane, train he sees or hears. He also LOVES 'Cars' the movie and the special set of 'Cars' cars that he carries around with him everywhere he goes. We tease him a little about his hoarding though: he carries 4 cars at a time and then will drop one, try to pick it up, drop another, etc. or he'll cry out from the top of the stairs because it's hard to climb down with your hands full of toys. I thought this was semi strange behavior but after talking with some other mommies I realized that it's very normal and I don't need to call TLC to do an intervention or anything. :) He likes to perform for us, whether it's making all the animal sounds he knows or dancing his biscuits off, and he enjoys the attention and applause that usually follows. He's a very sweet boy and likes to give kisses and cuddles and he waves at everyone he sees. He's a good listener and follows directions very well and we think we're pretty lucky to be his parents. Can't believe my little big boy is getting so big!

CARS!

Fishies at the library.

He is fearless. Seriously. I've never seen park/slide/stairs/couches/etc that he can't climb over.
