Levi at 5 months

Trying sweet potatoes for the first time

Levi loves sticking out his tongue (and apparently so do I...)

Yesterday Levi turned 5 months old. He is such a joy for our little family. Rebekah absolutely adores him and loves to play with him. He lights up when he sees her and she loves to make him laugh and squeal. Levi is still all about daddy. Whenever daddy is around Levi's eyes are on him. He gets sad and cries when Nelson leaves the room or the house. Last week I called Nelson and had him on speaker phone. As soon as we hung up Levi started fussing and getting upset. It took me a minute to realize what the problem was. As soon as I called Nelson back and Levi heard his voice again he stopped fussing and became happy. How cute!

• Levi discovered his feet about two weeks ago (on Oct. 19th).


• Levi weighed 15 pounds 14 oz (45th %) and measured 26 1/2 inches long (90%) at 4 1/2 months.


• Levi still wakes up 1 or 2 times a night.


• He loves to be held by mommy as much as possible


• He is very strong and loves to jump and stand up (with help of course.)


• Levi still tries to suck his thumb at any chance!!!!


• He is a mover and a shaker, a wiggle worm if you will. He wiggles or rolls all over the place.


• He loves water! Bath time is probably his favorite time of the day.


• Levi still isn't sure about eating rice cereal (or peas) yet. It's slow going at the moment, so we're only trying it a few times a week.
