Also at 10 months, Levi gave us a few nights of sleeping through the night (getting up at 5:30 instead of 3:30 or 4:30) and then at about 11 months he made that his norm. Then he proceeded to going back to sleep after the 5:30 nursing until about 7am and even sleeping all the way through until 7am. These were a great few weeks. Right now at 12 months we think he has a cold or something so he's back to waking at 5:30am but he usually goes back down for a another hour or so. It's been hard to sleep in the summer with so much daylight and so many times Dylan and Lydia are around making noise and so Levi wants to be up with them. He's still taking a good morning nap although I think it's getting shorter but in a way that's good because then he will more likely take an afternoon nap.
Here's the 11 month picture, serious cute face!
Levi is a great crawler. Getting around everywhere, climbing stairs, etc. A week ago he took a first couple steps. He's getting about 3-5 steps in before falling now. He is very active. Lots of people have described him as "busy." (hmm, who does that sound like?) He plays with a mission!
Levi says mama and dada and does the sign for more but not sure if he's using them in the correct context just yet. He's starting to repeat sounds we make too.
We feed Levi just about anything right now. Try to give him food off of our plates but usually we also give him a little bowl or jar of pureed stuff just because he wants so much to eat. This is totally foreign to us. Not sure what to do with a kid who eats!
He's got the teeth to go with all this eating. He continues the trend of having one tooth for each month of his life.
Levi traveled to North Carolina for the first time during his 11 month of life - to see cousin Savva graduate from high school.
Finally the 12 month picture, back to Mr. Smiley. I did it - managed to take a picture each month and I think I even did most of them on the exact date!
Levi had his check up with the pediatrician today. He was 30.75 inches long (somewhere between the 60th and 75th percentile) and weighed 21 lbs., 3 oz (25th percentile). That is tracking with the clothes he wears. His 12 month shorts are just now starting to fit around the waist but we've had to move to the 18 month onesies. The doctor said he's doing great. I had a little concern with his right foot/leg associated with his feet rubbing that he does but the doctor didn't find anything wrong and said if he's pulling up with both legs, that's good indication that he's fine. So fun to watch him figure out walking!
