As Levi is learning English I just have to record some of his most precious words and sounds!! (I'm going to be using this blog as a personal journal if nothing else, just want to record memories and tidbits... so expect it to be somewhat scattered!)
"I love you so matz." (which he says often :))
Animal names:
'cat-neow'
'duck-wa-wa'
'boyd' (bird)
'mbwa' (swahili for dog... basically all 4-legged animals right now)
Goodnight Moon (which we read together every night)
his version, reading it to me:
'G'ni mun. g'ni jump-o-d-mun. g'ni dis. g'ni dis. g'ni mush. g'ni cat-neow. g'ni jump-o-d-mun. g'ni mama.'
the way he says 'jump-o-d-mun' KILLS ME. seriously. i can't handle it, it's so cute. (will try to post a video on here of it...)
'tsank tsu' (thank you) [which he says all the time- after i feed him or do something helpful for him... such a preciously sweet little disposition]
***
He picks up anything and uses it as a musical instrument... and dances to it. (and this boy can *dance*... with it all originating in his hips... ) he can't hear music without dancing to it. (my dream of a lifelong dance party is coming true!)
He is soooo meticulous. everything has a place and there is a place for everything. going to love this as we get settled into our new home together!!

his already established routine on the potty
reading material: the Mercy Ships catalog
he sits and points out all his 'friends' that he recognizes in it....
hi.lar.i.ous.
such a little man.
today we made a paper-mache christmas ornament... going to start the tradition of making one each year with a collage of images from the year... this one was full of cars/trucks, the texas flag, santa claus, and other memories of our first weeks together! Levi loved getting his hands all messy in the glue mixture and was so proud of his finished product!
