Driving Already?

Levi loves his cozy coupe. He also loves to watch his reflection in the oven, which is what he's watching in this clip.


We also got some good news today... Kevin was accepted into grad school! I was offered a job a few months ago at the corporate office which will start in June, so it looks like the Hughes family will be moving in about four months!

Phil's Copy Cat

Levi watched a video clip on YouTube of Phil Mickelson winning the 2004 Masters and caught onto one part of the video very quickly. You can see it at about 3:21 on this video. Or you can just watch Levi's version...

Catch-up

Last weekend, my parents and youngest sister came for a visit. We had a wonderful time.

Levi and Q playing golf on the Wii.

Levi went to the doctor yesterday (1-22-2010) for his 18 month well visit. Levi was 33 3/4 inches tall (90th percentile) and weighed 28 lbs (80th percentile). His head was 19 inches in circumference (75th percentile). The doctor was impressed with all he could do. Levi also received five immunizations, because we had to catch up from those he missed at his 15 month visit. He was such a trooper! He really didn't cry until the last shot, which was in his arm. The lady who checks us out after each visit gave Levi a sticker. He loves getting stickers and having them put on the front of his shirt. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of him after the shots and with the sticker.

Last night after his doctor's visit, we had dinner with two other couples and their boys (one boy per couple). Levi had pizza and ate about as much as the adults! He was also very sweet with the two younger boys. I really wish I'd gotten a picture of the three boys together. Maybe next time...

18 Months Old

Kevin and I thought it would be fun to capture some of Levi's first words the other night.



I guess Kevin and I can feel good that Levi said our names before he said, "Papa". As you can tell by some of his other "first words", Levi also loves almost anything sports. He still doesn't say the correct name for any of the sports, but his choices are pretty cute. He is also still very fond of some of his favorite signs to use. I'll have to try videoing those soon.

I thought it would be fun to capture some of the jabbering that Levi thinks is talking, too.



As you can tell, we have quite a communicator on our hands.

Levi has twelve teeth. You can see a couple of the back ones in this picture I took tonight. Hopefully, we'll be able to get an appointment for his first dentist's visit in the next couple of weeks.

Just a Swinging

Levi still loves golf (aka "pow" around here). He is doing really well teeing up the ball and hitting it. Every once in a while, he gets the ball in the "hole" (one of Levi's newest words). Never in a million years did I think that I would let my son swing a golf club, let alone hit a ball, in the house. But, how else can you foster a little boy's love of something that is supposed to be an outdoor sport when it is below freezing outside? The things you do for love...



Kevin and I think he's becoming quite the golfer.

We've had a couple of rough weeks around here health-wise for all of us, thus the lack of pictures and posts. Hopefully, my delinquent picture taking and postings are a thing of the past.
