One Year Check-Up

Levi had his one year check-up over a week ago. Life has been a little crazy since then and I haven't really had time to sit down and write about all the things he is doing and learning. I want to thank Aaron's mom for helping me get Levi to his appointment since it was right after I fell and injured my knee again. I'll post all about that here soon. Anyways, back to Levi. At his appointment he weighted 23.6 pounds (around 55%), and measured 32 inches long (still in the 95%). Below is a picture of him enjoying some cake at his party a few weeks ago. To mark his one year, here are a few things about Levi:

• He signs 'Please' and 'All Done'
• He says lots of words, but mostly Mama, Dada, Papa, Bay, & Dodger.
• He has eight teeth and is currently cutting his molars.
• He loves to joke around. He will offer you some of his food and when you go to take it he quickly pulls back and eats it himself. He thinks he is so funny.
• He loves to read. His favorite books right now are Hop On Pop, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut, and My First Animal Book.
• He is still sleeping through the night and sleeps about 10-12 hours at night.
• He is completely off baby food and eats table food. He loves carrots, green beans, grilled cheese sandwiches, bananas, apples, yogurt, chicken, pasta, and basically anything you put in front of him.
• He only nurses once every other day. We have started the weaning process and hopefully he'll be weaned by the end of the month.
• He loves vanilla milk. He hated whole milk, so we tried vanilla milk. I give him half vanilla/half whole milk in his cup and he loves it!
• He loves playing outside - playing with sticks, swinging, riding in his wagon, and helping Papa in the garden.
• He is walking everywhere!
• His favorite toys are Dodger, his slide, trucks, books, and balls.
• He's wearing 12 and 18 month clothes (depending on the brand).
