Well, Levi hasn't taken those first steps yet, but I can't imagine it will be too much longer! He walks along furniture lickety-split and is standing without holding onto anything very well. He can even bend over and pick things up and go back to standing. All of the relatives were amazed when they saw him do this over the holidays.
Christmas went okay, everyone managed to behave! (We had some disagreements with the in-laws over how much time we could spend at each location on Christmas -imagine that) Levi's two teeth popped through the gums before the day arrived, but they were still bugging him so he was a little crabby, and overwhelmed with all the holiday hustle and bustle. I am hoping next year will be a little more enjoyable. It was hard with a baby to try to get all the shopping and wrapping and baking done. Which was very tough on me because I love doing all those things and like to relish in the time I spend doing them.
But, our little man got VERY spoiled with lots of toys from both sets of grandparents and all of his uncles and his aunt! Our living room looks like Toys'R"Us vomited in it! lol!
Levi has been having lots of fun with all these new toys. I think his favorite is a fisherprice fishbowl. But of course, he also loves to try to chew on the dog's toys too. There is just something so appealing about those dog toys. I just don't get it!
Even though he might prefer the dog's bones, we have been trying to get Levi to eat lots of new foods. Sometimes he gets stubborn and just wants to eat puffs instead of the purees, so in addition to the jarfood we have been trying to get him to eat small bits of our own dinner lately. Things he can pick up and put in his mouth himself. He does pretty well, but doesn't get very much. Most of it ends up in his seat :)
But all this talk about food has got me feeling hungry! I need to go find some food! More updates later!
