Boys in Motion

These two keep me on my toes!



For the Levi and Milo Superfans that read this site (you know who you are) here are some details from their worlds as of late:

Levi
- He loves reading his High 5 Highlights magazine. The subscription was a Christmas present from great Grandma and Grandpa Corzine. It's absolutely no exageration to report that we've read every issue dozens of times.
-His favorite crafty activity is cutting paper with his scissors. I'm happy to report that he is quite talented at making confetti.
-His playtime has become more and more imaginative. This week he has been dedicated to pretending to be an alligator. Also, he likes to pretend to be a construction worker (pronounced "Stuck-son verker")
-Currently his favorite dvd to watch is either Clifford the Big Red Dog or Curious George. He asks to watch them by saying, "Time to watch TVDVDVD, Mama?"
-Potty training is going well though there is still quite a bit of room for improvement. He very rarely has an accident at home and only occasionally when we are out. He wears a diaper still for nap and bedtime.
-Levi loves to go swimming. We go once or twice a week at the Y and each time you can see that he is getting more comfortable in the water.
-He wants to do more and more things by himself- going to the potty, getting a snack, buckling his carseat, opening packages (with the scissors mentioned earlier). He helpfully threw out the perfectly good batteries in the remote control because as he stated, "They were old, Mama. They do not work very very well
-His favorite foods include mac and cheese, prunes, fruit snacks, grapes, plain yogurt with brown sugar, oatmeal with brown sugar, potato chips, milkshakes that he makes with Daddy, spinach with ranch dressing, chicken with ranch dressing, cabbage with ranch dressing, Ranch dressing with ranch dressing (usually called 'white dip').

And now Milo:
-He is very strong and likes to stand up while you're holding him. His favorite maneuver is sitting on your lap, settling in, lulling you into a false sense of security, then LUNGING backwards suddenly.
-He does well with tummy time and had been rolling over quite a bit but decided he was not interested in doing that anymore. I haven't seen him roll for a couple of weeks now.
-He is teething. With that comes lots of drooling and gnawing and chomping and drama.
-Milo loves to watch his big brother play.
-He switches between being very smiley to very serious quickly and often.
-He sleeps from 7pm to around 6am and naps 3 times a day
-He nurses 5 or 6 times a day.
-He spits up 1,000,000 times a day.
-Milo is wearing 6-9 month old sizes now.
-He had a flat spot on the back lefthand side of his head. Apparently early on he developed a preference for sleeping with his head in a certain position. Due to the fact that infants heads are very pliable, his flattened in that area from the weight of his head. We took him to see a specialist and have been instructed to follow 'aggressive re-positioning'. This pretty much boils down to never letting the back of his head rest on anything during the hours that he is awake. Hopefully this will allow it to round out.
