15 months old

I can't believe my baby is 15 months old already!! Matt and I were reminiscing the other day about how much Levi has changed and how much we really hope his baby sister isn't as hard of a baby as Levi was. We talked about all the pictures we have of him crying and how every Saturday night without fail Levi would stay up all night and I would wake Matt up in tears because I was so tired I couldn't handle him anymore. Matt would take him and he always put him to sleep - that made me crazy at the time because I wished he'd sleep on my shift. Anyway he became a happy baby around 4 or 5 months when he could move around more.

Levi is now doing lots of new things. This month he:
~ learned how to walk
~ started saying "thank you" at the right time
~ said baby for the first time while patting my stomach
~ started waving and saying "hi" and "bye-bye"
~ learned how to open his diaper pail and get diapers out :( but he loves to throw away his dirty diapers in the garbage
~ started just this last week to play patty cake on his own
~ gets into all my kitchen drawers and cupboards
~ started climbing on things - the hearth, the couch, boxes, he has even tried climbing up my bookcase.

He loves shoes and is always trying to put them on by himself. I always find shoes in my bookcase along with his sippy cup.

I gave Levi his first haircut last Friday night. He really needed it done he had a mullet. It seems like when I cut his hair, I cut off all of the dark hair so now he's mostly dirty blonde/really light brown.
Before the haircut (his hair curled to the side so it isn't' very noticeable in this picture):

After the haircut:

Tomorrow is his 15 month Well Child Checkup with the Dr so I'll post how big he is then.
