12mos

Levi, H*A*P*P*Y 1st B*I*R*T*H*D*A*Y to you!!!

Oh happy day!
I could cry tears, but they would be nothing short of JOY!
That had to be the fastest year of my life!!

So what are you up to at 12 mos?  Let's see...

*you weigh 21 lbs

*you wear a size 4 diaper

*you have 8 teeth

*you say ma-ma, da-da, and bye-bye

*you adore your big brother and he loves you!

*you are one fast crawling machine.  you have taken off using the walker, but haven't shown any  interest doing it on your own.

*you wave hi and bye like a pro!

*you pull up to everything, and love seeing your reflection in the oven, dishwasher, refrigerator (so cute!)

*you take one good nap a day (sometimes 3hrs)

*you give the best, sloppiest sugars.  and sometimes you initiate!!  so sweet!!

*you love to eat and when you see us eating you crawl like a mad man to us and start licking those lips!
*some of your favorite foods are bananas, jello, oatmeal, avocado, mashed potatoes, cream corn

*you have the sweetest, softest little voice.  and we just love to hear you babble, especially in the car :)

*you love bath time!!  as soon as you hear the water running, you make a mad dash and get the biggest smile on your chubby little face.  

*you are such a momma's boy and i absolutely love it!!! :)

{the pictures above were after a bath, and I didn't comb his hair.  clearly it shows! HA!}

I thank the Lord for you and especially for your healthy heart!!!
