Levi

I think I will take a little moment to do a quick update on our little Levi. As you can see from the picture below, he is VERY into food right now. We finally gave up completely on baby food as we realized that all this little guy wants and has been wanting for quite some time is REAL FOOD. I guess that makes a lot of sense seeing as how he comes from a family where REAL food is greatly valued. We are constantly getting together with Stevie's parents, siblings and the boys' cousins to cook out and eat great homemade food. I guess Levi felt like he wanted to join in and tried to show us that by refusing baby food. So as a result, we have been doing table food for about a month or more. And he can't seem to get enough. So far he has eaten (or attempted to eat) some foods that have really surprised me. And he has no teeth for biting so his skills sometimes impress me. Some of those foods include: grilled asparagus, baked potato, corn on the cob - yes I said on the cob -, sweet potato fries, chicken, mac-n-cheese, potato chips, whole strawberries, refried beans, dill pickles, potato salad, pancakes, scrambled egg and the one that really tops it off, chicharrĂ³on (Spanish for pig skins). I guess he figures he needs this diverse diet for all of the crawling he is doing now. He low crawls just like a marine (making his daddy proud) and believe it or not, gets to top speeds pretty quickly. Judah is still a little baffled by Levi's new movement!
