Big news this month is that our sweet baby Milo is 9 months old! I have no idea how this happened and it needs to slow down! Milo is our only baby and I cherish those sweet baby snuggles and his soft, round little head in the nook of my neck. At Milo's recent checkup we learned that he is 21.5 lb, which is 78th percentile for his wt. and 28.75" which is 67th percentile for his ht. He is both taller and heavier then Otto was at 9 months. Milo is babbling constantly and still giving us those beautiful, delicious smiles all the time. He is the happiest teething baby I have ever been around.
Although Milo is 8 months younger then Hux and 22 months younger then Otto, he is working his darnedest to keep up with those two.
Milo is also copying as much as possible from his big brother Otto. I am constantly reminded of moments of Anna and Olivia. Otto is so sweet to his baby brother, it is just the most endearing thing to watch.
Our Huxon is growing into a toddler. Huxey is giving us lots of smiles and laughs now. It's the best:) He is becoming much more social, walking around restaurants checking out things, following kids around at Book Time and just being a typical curious little boy. He will also pretend laugh with us and has discovered he is quite funny and gets a lot of attention for it. Huxey is experimenting with new words. Today he said, "mitt" for his mitten, "dog," "light," "Lily," and "hello," when he put the play telephone up to his ear. There are different words each time I take care of Hux. Sometimes new and sometimes the old words. Others he says are of course, mom, dad, door, Nor for Norm, ball, wow, woah, and he tries to say "dryer," because he is infatuated with the dryer when it is going.
One of the funniest (to me anyway) things Huxey does is throw a tantrum every time his Mom takes him home from Grammy's house. He arches his back, kicks his legs and screams. This is funny because his Mommy did this every time I took her from Grandma LaVonne's house and I feel like this full circle is a little bit of justice in the scheme of parenthood;)
Otto is 2 1/2 going on 5. His vocabulary is so fun! Otty sings the ABC's and also can identify most of the letters as the first letter of someone's name. A is for Anna, B is for Grammy (Brenda), C is for cat, D is for Daddy and Declan, E is for Emily, F is for Fiona, G is for Grandma and Grandpa, H is for Huxey and Halloween, L is for Luke, M is for Mom and Milo and N is for Nanna. This continues throughout the alphabet. He loves learning, singing finger plays and going to story time at the library and putting the felt board pieces on the board that go with the story. This boy is going to love preschool next year. Otto is counting to 14 then comes, 19, 19, 19. I am loving this stage of course from all the years of teaching preschool. We both enjoy projects with shapes, colors, letters, numbers and experimenting with science stuff. So much fun!
Grammys going to try to do better in the blog world next month, but in the meantime, here are some photos that should have been posted in the past few months because they are just too cute!
