  • Waving hello & bye-bye
  • clap- clap- clap those hands

  • You LOVE music- your teachers think you will be musical one day b/c you love it so much
  • Two front teeth on top finally poked through- up to 6 teeth now
  • Sometimes talk in your "dark" voice - quite entertaining & creepy at the same time

  • Love to giggle at the other little boys you've met at training
  • Tried a cupcake for the first time at your friend's 1st birthday party-Yummy
  • Scrunchy Nose
  • You do a little floor shimmy on your bum to dance~ Hilarious!
  • Figured out how to make that "blub, blub, blub" noise by running your finger back & forth over your lips
  • Impress everyone more & more with how well you have perfected the "click"
  • Love playing cars & wheels - such a boy :)
  • Giggle when you hear the "zzzzz" sound


Levi Elliot~
Our son whom we adore...
This month we have watched you grow into your own a little more each day.
We look forward to the days ahead and wait in anticipation to hear you say more words, take your first step, celebrate your 1st birthday, and adjust to life overseas.
We are privileged to stand by your side and guide you as best we can through life.
We consider it an honor to be on our knees for you, and we are praying that God is already beginning to grow in you a heart of compassion for those around you.

Looking forward to more joy in the days ahead

~All Our Love~
Momma & Papa

.Scrunchy Nose.

Levi started doing this on his own a few weeks ago- quite entertaining:)

Petting Zoo

One of the activities they had for the kiddos on campus was a petting zoo one afternoon.

We took Levi over to check out some of the fun chickens, little (and big) bunny rabbits, a hairless guinea pig (crazy looking) and a cute little pig.



Those of you who know me well should be very proud of me for taking my son to embrace and love on some animals :)

Hopper's Sweet Shoppe

Two Fridays ago, we found out that one of our meetings was cancelled
so we decided to make a surprise trip to back to North Carolina
and hang out with a sweet little girl on her birthday...

(Buddies reunite)


When we arrived, Anna, HattieJo's momma, came RUNNING out to the car to see us:)
We said "HattieJo who is this?" as we pointed to Levi...
Her response (with a big ol' grin on her face): "WeeLi"
Mercy, I love this little girl.


HattieJo was celebrating her 2nd birthday and we just couldn't miss it.
It was so good to see our friends, Anna and Andrew, as well as several other Wake Forest and Summit friends.

(Levi had a blast and I think he was getting even with HattieJo from when he was too little to defend himself before... haha. I love watching these two together!)

Thanks for a great weekend Hippity Hop!

Little Streaker

Warning: Naked Baby

So Levi has been quite the entertainment during diaper changing these days.
I will lay him down on his back on the bed to change his diaper....
The moment I get the diaper off... he flips over... crawls as fast as he can to the head board on the bed... climbs on up... and goes to town jumping!
He will usually take a break to look over his shoulder and give me one of those sneaky grins :)



He cracks me up!
