The Grouchy Ladybug

So The Grouchy Ladybug is Levi's favorite book right now. And he likes to skip straight to the page with the gorilla on it. Why? So that he can pound on his chest, and my chest and act like a gorilla! Haha. He's gotten pretty good at animal sounds. He makes the sounds for gorilla (by pounding on his chest and going "ahhh") and for elephant (by waving his arm in the air and fluttering his lips) and for cow (mmmm instead of moo). I also feel like Levi's language has just been exploding lately! He went from having no words to seeming to have many almost overnight! Here are Levi's words:

banana (usually just "nana" but sometimes the whole word!)
shoes
juice
cheese
keys
gigi (binkie)
woof (which he repeats over and over any time he sees a dog!)
bye
ba (ball)
uh-oh

And, as I have mentioned before, Levi does some signing. Here are Levi's signs:

more
all done
please
up

We have been working on the sign for "help" but it's a tricky one so it's taking him a while to pick it up.

Anyway, life has been pretty good around here. Here's a little snapshot of our life in pictures:

Levi is obsessed with climbing onto the kitchen table and chairs. He may have said he was all done with dinner but if Eric or I are still eating, he will do his darndest to climb up on a chair and eat some of our food too!

Whenever I open our front door, Levi beelines it for the stairs. He would love it if I just let him climb up and down them over and over instead of whisking him off to wherever we happen to be going. 

Out for a family walk!

I took Levi up to the OMSI on Thursday and he had a blast playing in the water area!

He was so cute in the little smock!


I love that it's finally warm enough for shorts and keens outside! It's supposed to be in the 90s tomorrow and Tuesday which will be amazing. Spring and summer are a long time coming here in OR so I really appreciate them when they finally arrive. 

Anyway, so that's what's been going on! I love our little family and our life. My mom comes again this week and I can't wait to see her! There are good times ahead :)
