New Haircut

This weekend Levi got his first major haircut. My little baby definitely looks more grown up now.

He also got his first fat lip. We're not exactly sure how he did it but it certainly did bleed quite a bit.

Today while I was making supper, he wanted to sit on the bar stool and read his book. After the incident with the bar stool yesterday, I didn't think that was such a good idea so I told him to go sit on a chair and read his book. That's exactly what he did! He crawled up into the chair with the book and the pulled up the blanket on his legs. Then, he got off the chair and put the blanket over his head to "scare" his sister. She played along with it quite well and he laughed! We love his giggle!!

One Year at Home

One year ago today we arrived home in Fulton after a very sleepless night. Thankfully, Levi slept quite a bit on the ride home and the rest of the time his new big sister entertained him. Shortly after we got home, he went from creeping to crawling for the first time. It certainly has been a year of amazing discoveries at our home!!

What a Boy!!

Today Levi was playng nicely with his blocks while I was cleaning. He came over to me and was motionng that he wanted his pajamas unzipped. I unzipped his pajamas and all down the front of his sleeper were his blocks. They were all the way down to his feet. What a funny boy!! I'm still not sure how he got them in there!!

First Sum Hop Day

One year ago this precious little boy became a part of our family. I love so many things about him - his laugh, his smile, his playfulness, his kisses and hugs, his curiosity. When we brought him home he couldn't crawl or walk or talk. Now he runs and jumps and climbs and is trying to repeat every word we say. One year ago he didn't want to sit and look at a book. Now he loves to bring books to us to be read and can sit for several books in a row. It amazes me how much God has blessed our family.

I am hoping to do something special for him today but I'm not sure yet what we'll do. I certainly would like to take a picture of him to see how much he has grown in a year. I was thinking that I might start a tradition of writing him a letter each year for Sum Hop day.
