The Woman With You: 17 Months

I know I say this every time, but I can not believe my little boy will be a year and half next month! To say "time is flying" is an understatement! I feel like I can see him grow up a little bit more each and every day. It's amazing to me to watch what he learns and then see him act those things out. He's like a little sponge! :) I have to say this past month comes in pretty close as my favorite month with him (the 5th month is my other favorite). I can't put my finger on it exactly, but he's just become a little person over the last few weeks! I know that sounds weird, but he's not a baby any more. He's talking, running, climbing, dancing, cleaning, helping, loving, etc. And he is an absolute BLAST to be around! I love to just sit and watch him play. His mind is always working, and it's usually thinking "what can I get in to?". Haha.

So, what is Levi up to now? Well, at 17 months Levi is...

Picking his nose... :)

Not afraid to touch anything...

Throwing EVERYthing...

Weighing in at 28.6lbs and measuring 33 3/4 in long!
Climbing any and every thing
Shimmying to music (still trying to catch this one on video)
Telling people to "shh" (again, must catch on video) during church or when you turn out the lights
Saying "hop" for rabbit and has just recently started "hopping" too (can't quite get his feet off the ground yet)
Walking down steps by himself (with mom's hand VERY close by)
Drinking out of regular cups (without getting it everywhere) and especially enjoys Tervis Tumblers :)
Bringing us things he knows he's not supposed to have
Climbing out of the bathtub-the GARDEN tub!
Back to normal eating-thank goodness!
Being good in church and restaurants
Finally shaking his head yes! Jeffrey worked on this with him one night when I wasn't home, so the first time I saw him do it was in response to "Do you love Mommy?". Heart=melted!
