11 Months Old

Today Levi is 11 months old - just one month away from being a year old already. Where did the time go? In many ways it feels like he has been home with us forever and in some ways it feels like he just got home.

He has been fighting a cold again or maybe its allergies, I'm not sure. Anyways, when I got him out of the car after getting Rachel from work last night, his nose was rather yucky. I said to him, "ucky nose" and he said back to me "ucky". Then this morning he repeated me again! What a crazy kid!! He is also working on blowing kisses. Last night when we went to the grocery store, I could hear him making the sounds for it but not getting the hand going. I'm sure it won't be long and he'll have it, though. He is a fast learner, that's for sure.

Last week we bought him a pair of sunglasses. I keep trying to get a picture of him with them on but because he is not too good about keeping them on, I still don't have a picture of him in them. Maybe I'll get one to post this weekend!
