nevermind the fact that levi will be eleven months in 8 days. whoops.
i can't believe that in (less than) two months, he is going to be A YEAR OLD. that is completely insane to be because really, didn't i just bring him home?
he is growing up so fast. in the past month ...
he has mastered walking along the furniture. he is able to 'gracefully' get down from his standing position. he ditched baby food completely for some good eats. still loves his sippy, but has his naptime bottles and bedtime bottle. loves the 'fringies' on our fleece tie blankets (just like tucker ... i think i need to make a little bit of a smaller one for him to bring to bed with him). we are trying to get him to say 'tucker' and he will get the 'tuh' out and his little mouth sometimes moves as if to say 'er' but nothing comes out. :) he will also say kaka when we talk about him having THAT in his pants. ha! he is obsessed with the vacuum cleaner (just like his brother was at this age). he has a habit of trying to knock down baby gates or push away obstacles in order to get to where he does NOT belong. he loves playing with his big brother and dad ... pretending he is a bigger boy than he really is. he laughs at them throwing the ball over his head. he screeches in excitement when it is bath time. i look back on all the things tucker loved at this age and it's funny just how similar they are.
bear. we've started calling him bear or griz because he acts like one! he will growl like a bear. when he crawls, there are times when he shakes his head around like a bear (tell me you know what i mean - ha). oh, and he actually will pounce/jump like a bear too. it's so funny. so, we've got a little griz on our hands and it seems totally fitting. levi owen baby peach GRIZZLY BEAR. :)
levi had his first ear infection this month. he was prescribed amoxicillian and seems to be doing just fine now. yey!
he still is sleeping awesome at night. he'll go down typically between 8-9PM and sleep until around 7AM. there is still a night here and there where he wakes up because he's wet through or something and i'll rock him right back to sleep. most times you can just give him his binkie and he's out like a light again. this is the biggest difference between tucker and levi so far. tucker was a nightmare child when it came to sleeping habits. so happy that levi likes to sleep!
oh, and i try anything to get a good shot of him. including letting him eat my lens cap.
i also think it's cute that levi notices when tucker is gone. sometimes it is just in the backseat and he looks for him. he waits for him. he loves him so much. makes your heart melt a bit.
i am so thankful for the past ten months.
love you little griz.
Adorable! You guys sure make cute kiddos ;)
