16 Months

The time is just flying by around here. I can't believe Levi is 16 months old already.
He loves to make airplane noises and fly airplanes around in the air. Future pilot like his mama?Levi loves the dry erase markers Mimi & Papa gave us. He likes to write on this mirror. Also, he wrote on himself for the first time (and surely not the last :) Can you see it?He also is very interested in helping me clean the house. This is his 1st attempt at mopping.We went out for a "snow day" on his sled but he was mostly just sitting there cold. We haven't had a decent "warm" snow day to play out in it."Healthy" Hash Brown Recipe
Recently I have gotten frozen hash browns for really cheap and I was trying to figure out an easy/healthier way to make them as I never make them right on the stove. (Probably because I don't like to add oil.) Here is an easy/yummy way to make them. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread an even layer of them over a cookie sheet. Lightly spray with butter spray. Bake for 10 minutes. Stir them around. Bake for another 10 minutes. They are crispier if you put a thin layer on your cookie sheet. a little moister if you put a thicker layer on your cookie sheet. We all enjoyed them. Great with ketchup all over :)This photo was taken today :)

Cute Levi pictures. He is starting to look like a little man.

Levi is so adorable! Thanks for the hashbrown recipe! I really like hashbrowns but also hate cooking them in the oil (I like the way they taste, but hate how much oil you have to use, smelling like oil, getting splattered by oil, etc). Great idea to bake them in the oven with spray!

We love you, Levi! (And your Mama and Daddy too.)

You captured some really cute photos of Levi! Such a nice variety! Some of my grandchildren really DO like to mark on themselves! Remember that photo of Violet? I will definitely try that hashbrown recipe. I don't remember, were the potatoes already cooked, and then just shredded? You may have mentioned it, I'll look back. I made hashbrowns for Glenn this week with some leftover cooked potatoes, with lots of oil in the skillet ;)

yah, the potatoes are already pre-shredded in the frozen section.
