Levi has star power. He knew exactly when to show up. Six minutes past midnight on New Year’s Day. In the first year of his life, his picture was in a newspaper twice and then a magazine. I was afraid that he would use up his 15 minutes of fame in, well, his first 15 minutes, but I shouldn’t have worried. This kid has verve. And you haven’t seen anything yet. Levi, thank you for making me a mother.I wish I could share all of my favorite photos of this guy. There are so very many. I’m sure some of you will think ‘enough already’ but if you knew how many pictures I had to set aside…
Verve (vûrv) n.
1. Energy and enthusiasm in the expression of ideas, especially in artistic performance or composition.
2. Vitality; liveliness.
Levi is enthusiastic, vivacious, effusive, dramatic, intelligent, vibrant, imaginative, extroverted, curious, affectionate, chaotic, exhausting, thoughtful, verbose, intense, and entertaining~at the no-longer-my-baby age of six (going on twenty-six). (Just check out the funny things he has to say!)
Happy Birthday, Levi!
