Levi turned 6 months old on Friday. I can't believe my little boy is already half a year old! Time is flying by so quickly. I took him to the doctor for his 6 month check-up today. He weighs 20 pounds 2 ounces and is 27 and three quarters inches long. The doctor said that he is in the 90
th percentile in weight and height, well proportioned, and growing beautifully. He got his next series of shots, and was such a trooper. He only cried while getting his shots and as soon as they were done he quit crying and was just fine.
Levi is such an amazing little boy. The last six months have been a true blessing from above. Here are a few interesting things you may or may not know about Levi.
- He LOVES rice cereal.
- He LOVES his daddy. Levi and Aaron have this special bond. Every afternoon he waits for Aaron to get home from work so they can have "man time."
- He enjoys his daily bath. Every night Aaron gives Levi his bath and prepares him for bed.
- He is a WONDERFUL sleeper. He usually sleeps about 10 -12 hours at night. He can soothe himself and put himself to sleep if needed.
- He sucks his thumb. We aren't too thrilled with this one, but it has been a life saver in some instances. He only sucks it when he's tired and want to sleep, so it's not all the time.
- He loves to be part of the group. He doesn't like to be alone in the room. He will play by himself, but just wants someone around.
- He likes to sit a the dinner table with us, and wants his own spoon and cup.
- He like to ride in the car.
- He is rolling EVERYWHERE! I can't turn my back for a moment and he is somewhere different. He rolls from back to belly and belly to back, and he scoots all over the place. He can lay on his belly and scoot in circles all over the floor.
- He LOVES Dodger. He likes to pet Dodger and watch him chase toys in the living room.
- He likes to be outside and in the sun.
- He has the BEST laugh. He is ticklish and laughs like crazy.
- He is talking all the time. He is cooing and aahing all the time. I love to hear him talk to me!
- He still only has 2 teeth. He's had these two teeth for several months, but he is chewing and gumming on everything so I'm sure there are more on their way.
- He's a football fan. He will watch football with daddy all day if he could.
- He loves to give hugs and snuggle.
- He loves the camera and taking pictures. Any electronic - remote control, cell phone, etc - he is interested in it.
- He LOVES his toes! He will play with his feet for hours!
- He's growing a little hair, but just mostly on the top of his head.
- He is beginning to recognize his name and will turn his head when he hears it.
- He LOVES his mommy. I'm so blessed with his presence, and I love when he just wants to love on me.

What is your secret to get him to sleep 10 hours! Braden gives me only 4-5 hours!
I love Levi!!!! And he loves his Aunt Lou and thinks she is funny. You forgot that one. Actually, I was going to tell you, Aaron and I discovered a top tooth yesterday! WootWoot!
You forgot the one about Gramma and how much she loves to give him a bath weather he needs them or not. Also, the way he "roars". Just love it.
1. Jess - I worked on him for a while. When he is in his crib I don't go and get him right away. Many mornings he'll play for a hour or so and possibly even go back to sleep. I know he can go 10 to 12 hours, so I don't rush in his room everytime I hear him. Instead of making him sleep later in the mornings I tried putting him down earlier in the evenings. He still slept to him normal morning time, so that gave him some extra hours as well.
2. He does love his Aunt Lou, and Amy is right - he does have another tooth on the way. See my most recent post.
3. Mom does love to give him a bath and he loves getting one. He has started to ROAR, and I will hopefully get it on video to share in a post soon.
