one awesome one year old

When Levi was little i did a monthly photo shoot till he was 6 months old. Then again at 9 months and here is our 12 month/1 year old.

here's an awkward smile

he knows how to work it!

so tired of pictures

when we ask him to wash his hair we get this reaction

oh dear!

just having a mid morning snack of rocks

Now that Levi's one it seems the perfect age to reflect on. when i look back levi has 2 stages that really stand out to me. 0-6 months : acid reflux & 6-12 months: active fun stage. that might sound horrible but until he was over the colic & acid reflux we really didn't get to see what his personality was like. so these last 6 months have been absolutely fantastic! The whole year has been wonderful, sometimes its so overwhelming to think how we are responsible for this little boy! Since almost every month I do a little blurb on his new discoveries here's his 1 year old quirks:

~he is so independent, generally only eats if he feeds himself or its on a fork.

~LOVES to walk, hes getting to the point where he doesn't like to be in the cart. 

he wants to be out pushing the cart.

~he chases bowie even more now that he can walk 

~were down to 3 bottles a day! huge accomplishment, he's very attached to the bottle and 

so cutting it down was a big deal.

~he drinks out of a sippy cup really well!

~he would be outside all day if we let him

~ says "more & please" but sounds more like mo & pe

~ loves the library

~really started to love looking at books

~ he is so tough

~ still is a momma's boy, but thats ok i LOVE that!

 

Happy Birthday Levi! We love having you in the family!
