The Business of Being...Levi

Well I've been hanging around this world for  EIGHT MONTHS now and here's what I think about things so far... 

I am on the move nowadays. I don't have time to just sit around as you'll see in this month's photos. There's a whole world out there and I need to explore it! I'm crawling all over the house and I love pulling up on the furniture and cruising along. I'm really starting to get into things. I try to play with Dad's speaker cords and his tv speakers. He always says I'm looking for danger, like when I'm crawling on Mom and Dad's bed I want to go straight for the edge, but they're always right there to grab me and keep me safe.

I LOVE playing with my toys. My favorites at the moment are my singing remote control, my watermelon and my mailbox package. Mom thought it'd be fun to catch me in action with my toys since I'm having so much fun with them these days. 

I also get so excited to see Mom and Dad these days. I squeal and wiggle my whole little body. I've even clapped on a couple of occasions.

I was baptized this month. It was an exciting weekend. My grandparents were all in town and so were Tati and Uncle Chris. I looked swanky in my four piece suit as Mom walked me around the church introducing me to the Park Street family while Dad shared about what I gift I am. I didn't even cry when the pastor poured the water on my head. It was exciting to know that so many people love me, were watching live and from a far, and will be there to lead me to Christ as I grow up.

I'm having fun at meals and in restaurants now because I can munch during the meal too. At my mom's birthday dinner I enjoyed Fogo de Choa with the rest of the family, sampling steamed broccoli, black beans, and cooked bananas. I have a portable high chair for when I'm at friends' houses, so at small group I can eat dinner too with everybody. I've gotten the hang of my sippy cup too and I love ice water. My favorite snacks at the moment are Num Nums and cheerios. I've tried a few more new foods this month like black beans, mangos and mozzarella cheese. 

I've also started going to the nursery at church on Sundays, on Thursday mornings when Mom goes to Women's Bible Study and for a bit on Friday nights while Mom helps out at youth group. It's fun to play with the different toys and other kids. I'm a pretty social guy. 

I also said, "mama" pretty clearly on Mom's birthday. My special birthday gift for her, but I don't want to spoil her, so it hasn't happened again since. 

Of course this has been another month of firsts...

Overall,  in my EIGHTH MONTH I've enjoyed the business of Exploring.
