Levi Marshall is Two!











 Our little man is two! It feels like just yesterday that we waited and waited for Levi's arrival.  And now time goes too fast. He is in a very sweet phase with an overflowing vocabulary and his little baby voice.  A few current favorites are: "I need some draws" (pencils), I'm Wuvi (levi), boomberries (blueberries), "pupcake" (cupcake)  He is a cuddle bug when tired and wants to be attached like a barnacle to mama or papa.  He does not like getting a hair cut. This last month his favorite thing might be reading his books by himself. He has discovered our home library and has been sorting through books within his reach searching for tractor or train books. Richard Scarry books are a current favorite. He is fascinated by people and their jobs and when we go to the farm to get our milk he says "lets go to the farmer"! He likes firemen a lot right now.  He seems to have tonal memory and sings songs back exactly how he heard them in a piano lesson or violin practice.  He loves to say his ABC's and push carts or strollers around the house in this long winter. He also loves riding his bike! Levi adores all sisters right now and turns to the big sisters for comfort and sympathy and Phoebe for dancing and make believe.  Levi loves Thomas the train and friends and drives them all over the house.  He loves Humpty Dumpty, planets and the book Don't be Nosy, Posy. He thinks rhyming words are funny.  Levi is trying the potty with success! He has a tender little heart that notices when someone is sad or naughty. He'll even let you know if the kitty has shown a temper. He learned to pray and say the name Jesus and points to the stained glass window at church.  He still does not like to sleep and I'm not sure if he ever will.  His favorite food seems to be Greek Chicken Soup and frozen mango.  Happy birthday to our little man, and my baby! May the Lord bless you and keep you always. May you know blessings and joy and health all your days.
