My little boy turned one yesterday. (insert deep sigh here)
As I was getting a massage yesterday afternoon, I was thinking how much better I felt at that moment than I did at that exact time last year. Obviously, he was a bit of a pain at the time…. and often still is! But, I can honestly say he’s been the best thing ever and I’ve loved (almost) every minute of it. He’s so funny and so cuddly and gives the best big slobbery kisses a mama could ever hope for. He has brought us SO MUCH fun & happiness and I am overwhelmingly thankful for him. I could never possibly deserve such an amazing gift, but I’m happy to take it anyway! =)
My top 10 favourite things about Levi so far (in random order):
- Our bedtime snuggles
- How cute he looks naked (or in anything!)
- How he shares his food with his puppy when he thinks we’re not watching
- How he makes motor sounds with his mouth when he plays with trucks and tractors
- How every morning when Dave brings him into bed with us, the first thing he does is crawl up and give me a kiss
- His laugh/squeals… especially when you tickle or chase him
- He’s just so passionate about eating (just like his daddy) and it’s hilarious!
- His buzz cut, button nose, dimply butt cheeks, chubby hands & feet, those blue eyeballs…
- The faces he makes. He’s always made a large variety and kept us entertained! My current favourite is the nose scruntch smile.
- How he blabbers on about stuff all day, and even moans until he finally falls asleep.
- How excited he is to see you if you’ve been gone for a bit
- How he laughs at himself when he knows he’s being funny
I could go on and on! But, obviously what you want is some pictures! This took me a long time to do, but I’ve narrowed down the masses of images from the past year to large handful of 30-40 favourites…
Well, my mom made Levi a birthday cake to resemble Griffin…. and Levi let him lick off his fingers =)
Happy Birthday, Levi! We LOVE you!
