14 months!

Where does the time fly?? Levi is 14 months already and getting to be such a big boy!

* on our home scale he was 22lbs

* Still pretty much only says Mama, Dada, Da-ee (can you tell who his favorite is), GGUs, Yeah

* Walks rarely and only when the mood strikes, otherwise still boot-scootin

* LOVES to watch Rio

* Loves to see animals, but only likes it when Gus touches him (other dogs tend to freak him out if they get close)

* Super hilarious! - especially at bedtime

* LOVES his big brother Lucas

* Gives the best hugs, kisses the air, but NEVER actually kisses your face

* likes to try and use forks, but thinks spoons are just meant for making messes

* Still takes two naps and sleeps at night - always puts himself to sleep (and has for at least 8 months) - I lay him down and walk out of the room, and usually not a peep.

* Takes a bottle in the morning still cause he doesn't really like big breakfasts and tends to wake up before Lucas anyway and I am not doing breakfast twice! (Oh and he has been waking up around 5 am - teething? - the past couple of mornings so I give him a bottle then too, to get him to sleep for another hour or two)

 What is this silly face about?

 I gave him a cookie and this is what I found

 He didn't care to eat the cookie.  Just wanted to smash the Reese's Pieces so he could dig out the innards to eat.

Notice the chocolate face? This day was too funny! I call Levi my little Brazilian boy because he loves all things Brazil.  From the music, the movies, to the FOOD.  He loves Esfihas, Pao de Queijo, Arroz e Feijao, Pudim de Leite Condensado, and SONHO DE VALSA. For a kid who isn't super into food, this is a big deal.

So this kid is in love with a Brazilian chocolate called Sonho de Valsa.  It is a favorite among my entire family so it's only fitting that he follow suit.  Anyway, I was cooking in the kitchen and could hear Levi coming to me from the family room, whining all the way.  When he got to me he was holding an empty Sonho de Valsa wrapper that he had found tucked into a couch cushion! (I hid it from him a few days earlier because he spotted it and wanted one, but it was dinner time) He gave it to me and continued to whine until I gave him a new one to eat!
