It's been a couple weeks since the last blog update so I thought I would throw something up here really quick. The last couple of weeks have been pretty crazy as we've experienced the rule of "whatever can go wrong will go wrong". Just to summarize, our lawn mower broke, our desktop computer has a pretty serious virus that I'm working on removing, and Levi has not been feeling well so that throws everything off. As I type he is screaming from his bed. He has stopped taking naps for the most part, but then doesn't go to sleep until 10-11 at night and then wakes up very early in the morning. He's obviously very tired but for some reason he does not want to go to bed. It makes it very frustrating for mom and dad when they have about 5 minutes of time a day to see each other and talk without a baby screaming in the background.
Levi had his one year appointment last week and measured out as follows: 22 lbs 3 oz and 29 inches. Apparently he is on the smaller side, as he was in the 25-30th percentile for everything. At the moment he is in the 99th percentile for getting on dad's nerves for screaming at 10:30 when he should be sleeping.
But lest you should think I am a heartless monster, here are some happier Levi moments. Levi has been amazing us with his ability to learn new things. His new word is "juice", which he says whenever he wants something to drink. His favorite word is still "ball" which he yells every time he sees something round. He is walking everywhere now and almost never crawls. Most of the time he is a lot of fun and he makes mom and dad laugh quite frequently.
Not very many new pictures to share, but what these pictures lack in quantity they make up for in the sheer cuteness factor. Enjoy!!

That happens with the little people! Be patient.
Sorry to hear about the sleep thing. Sounds like maybe he's gotten into a cycle of sleep deprivation that is feeding on itself. (Why tired babies sleep *less* is one of nature's cruelest mysteries...) Is there *any* way he will sleep? Maybe with one of you lying down with him, in the car, etc.? Perhaps if he could catch some extra sleep any way possible, it will pass and he can go back to his normal routine. I've never had that exact situation, so it's just an idea off the top of my head. No matter what, it stinks. :o( I hope it passes soon!
