16 months

Sweet Levi is 16 months old today! Wow, can't believe I'm actually typing that! Babies grow up way too fast. 

• Levi is a typical busy, busy boy. He is rarely still, as you can see in most of the pictures I post of him!
• He wears mostly 12 month clothes, but still some 9 month pants. He's short and chunky! :-) He wears size 3 shoes. Yes, he has small feet!

• He is extremely mischievous.
• His vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds. 
• When he gets frustrated he lets out an ear-shattering scream! Ugh, we are working on that!

• He is so curious! He will sit in the floor and examine something for the longest time. 
• He gets into everything! I have to keep my eyes on him all the time.
• He's started taking a longer afternoon nap...about 2 hours. Such a blessing!
• He is back to eating most things. He's not a huge fan of fruit except bananas, so we have smoothies every morning for breakfast. He loves drinking his smoothie out of his "big boy" cup (with a straw).

• Reading is his favorite thing! He likes to sit and look at books by himself but he also likes for us to read to him.
• He loves playing outside.
• He sleeps about 12 - 12 1/2 hours each night. 

• He loves brushing his teeth.
• He likes to figure out how things work. I will put his snack (usually cheddar bunnies) in a container and give him another container and he will move the bunnies from one container to the other. Keeps him busy for a few minutes, but also helps his coordination.
• He loves singing! Away In A Manger is still his favorite song, but he also likes Twinkle, Twinkle and Jesus Loves Me. He actually sings alot of the words and carries the tune pretty well.

• Anytime I am in the kitchen, he pulls his little chair up to the counter and wants to help. He likes to help with the laundry too...basically he likes to be where ever mama is, so he helps with everything.
• He is definitely a mama's boy.
• He is a great big brother - patting Asher sweetly and giving him his paci when he's sad. We are still working with Levi about giving gentle hugs to Asher.

How I love my sweet boy!
