Levi is One!!

I cannot believe it, but Levi is one! This year has gone by so quickly. Everyone warned us it would, and it really has. We went to the doctor today, and Levi got a few shots. He was such a trooper. He didn't even cry with the first shot! He weighed 22 pounds, 9.5 ounces (50th percentile). He was 30 1/4 inches long / tall (80th percentile).

Some of Levi's favorite things: fans, remote controls, cell phones, food (current favorites include bread, cantaloupe, and peaches), books (current favorites include God Made You Special, Hop on Pop, Hand Hand Fingers Thumb, and What's Bigger Than Me?), the zoo.

Levi loves to make people laugh. When he does something that brings a chuckle, he will usually try to repeat it. Thus, the picture above with Levi sticking out his tongue. This isn't meant in an ugly way, he thinks it is funny, because Audry laughed at him the first couple of times he did it. Now he does it for a laugh or to have the person to whom he has stuck out his tongue copy him.

Levi still acts shy when he first meets people usually or when he hasn't seen them in a while.

Levi can be quite stubborn at times. He does things on his time table and no one else's.

He is a joy, a blessing to our lives, and we are so thankful for him. We love you, Levi!!
