Happy
Blogger-versary! It's been a whole year since I began posting my thoughts and pictures for you . . . I hope you have enjoyed watching me grow! My first post was after our beach vacation last year, and now I've been on vacation to the beach again! Dad, Mom, & I went to Garden City and stayed in the family condominium. This was my first visit there, and it was a super-fun place to hang out! I got lots of exercise running back-and-forth down the long hallway and climbing in-and-out of the chairs on the deck. Meli & I took turns squishing our faces up against the sliding glass door and rolling around on the carpeted steps (there were only two steps, so I told Mom it was okay). We had as much fun inside as we had outside!

While we were at the beach, we met up with some of our friends from church who were also on vacation. The ten of us went to an exciting dinner show called The Dixie Stampede! There were horses, riders, chickens, pigs, girls in big dresses, men in cowboy hats, and a nice blonde-headed country music singing lady named Dolly . . . you know, all of the things I see at home, only better! There was so much food, and we had to eat it all with our fingers, which was normal for me. They even had rings of fire, outfits that lit up like Christmas trees, and a man in an ostrich suit. I sure hope we can go back again next year!

The only sad thing about the beach was that we had to leave for a few days because my special friend from church, Brother James, went to be with Jesus. We came home to see the family and then the next day Dad helped with the funeral. I will really miss playing with Brother James, but I'm happy for him. He couldn't run with me because he only had one leg left -- but now he has them both!


With love,

Levi

Milestone of the week: Can point to and say the parts of my face -- eyes, nose, ears, mouth, & hair

Frogs and snails and puppy dog tails -- that's what little boys are made of! Since the weather has been warmer, I've been playing outside a lot! Frogs, snails, lizards, ants, caterpillars . . . I've seen and tried to touch them all! My favorite thing to do when I'm outside is get dirty. I try to get as dirty as I can, in as many ways as I can. I also like to ride on my cars, swing in the hammock, dig in the sand, toss around rocks, and play with the water hose. My most recent activity has been helping Mom with the plants in the yard. I love working with the flowers, but some of the shrubs are sharp and prickly! What is your favorite thing to do outside?

When I'm not playing outside, I'm having conversations with Mom and practicing my ABCs. I can say them all the way to the letter "G"! I also know some of my numbers, but not in order yet. Mom said that she would buy another set of picture flashcards for me because I can already say all of the words on the ones I have! Some of my favorite cards are robot, sun, flower, grapes, star, clock, and apple. Of course, my favorite words are still Jesus, Amen, Bible, and car. I've said a lot of sentences, too, but there's one I never get tired of -- "I see the light!" Our church folks get tickled at that one. Anyway, I'm growing almost as fast as I'm learning . . . Mom measured me a few weeks ago and I'm already over half as tall as she is!


Love,

Levi

Milestone of the week: Attended a dance recital for the first time (I liked watching the costumes and the lights, but Dad was ready to go at intermission)
