Today our Levi Elliot is 15 months old.

~15 MONTH Stats~

Height: 28.7 inches (73 cm) ~ Below 5th percentile
Weight: 20 lbs. 15 oz (9.485 kg)~ Between 5th-10th percentile
Head Circumference: 49 cm ~ above 95th percentile (no that was not a typo ;)

Ok ok ok- you can stop laughing now :) ]

Our Treasure, Our Joy, Our Son...

Levi Elliot,

The past three months are so FULL of wonderful moments with you. You have taken so many strides (both literal and figurative). Your face lights up the world around you, especially Mama & Papa's world. We love watching you learn so many things, and enjoy learning right along with you.

You teach us so much- we learn patience... deeper than that- you show us how patient our Father in Heaven is with us.

You teach us the beauty of a parent's love... and through this we are reminded how our Father loves us the same way... simply because we are "His" and not because of what we do or don't do.

As we move forward into the coming months and years, our prayer is that you will take in this world around you and that God would make your heart tender toward His people. That you would long to connect and love people the way He does.

~Love holding your hand and cheering you on in your Life Journey~

Our love is yours... Forever,

Mama & Papa
