Twenty One Months

This little monkey boy is flying his way towards being a two year old. But I love doing his monthly photos still because he is changing so much and I want to remember every little and sweet detail.  Here are things I want to remember:  Levi loves his "sleepers" (slippers) and wears them on top of his footy jammies.  He despises being cold but loves his tubby time and snuggly blankets and stories. He loves reading books with sisters at night and has a few favorite books such as "Little Blue Truck" and "Apple Pear Bear".  Levi is learning to sleep but still much prefers to be held during naps. Levi loves to fix things, especially with Lena's electric toothbrush. He finds screws and tries to be like Papa with his drill.  He loves things that make noises and is so happy when Papa brings in wood for the stove with his "tractor wagon" (wheelbarrow).  Trains are becoming increasingly interesting. Levi loves running laps around the house dancing to fiddle music with his drum.  He still struggles with his airway and a cold can knock him out for weeks, especially at night. But he is healing and growing and for that we praise God.  One of the silliest moments I've come across recently is Levi learning ballet moves from three big sisters. They think he will be a good Nutcracker someday.  As you can see below, Levi was born an old man baby.  He has a Winston Churchill expression. He loves to cook and taste and has discovered "Babypops" (Lollipops) which he tried for the first time when he had a sore throat. He knows his colors and has strong opinions about things. He also started making jokes, especially at bedtime.  How we love him.
