First Haircut

It was time to say goodbye to the baby mullet!



Milo started out okay but toward the end was starting to lose it. Considering he kept darting his head back and forth, the stylist did a good job.

Growing up

Goodbye sweet baby boy, hello rambunctious toddler. 

Milo is a force to be reckoned with and pretty much meets the definition of "busy." Always moving, full of energy just like his brother and getting into everything. At home, it's about as safe as we can make it but whenever we venture out to a new location or someone's house that is not used to a toddler, he'll pretty much go for a) destruction, or b) danger. 

Favorite toys/activities:

Pushing the doll stroller and trying to ride on his wheely tiger

Rides in the wagon especially when Collin pushes him

Balls and stackers

Bubbles

Tupperware and pots and pans

Cleaning (he takes rags and cleans the floor, he also has a mini broom. Fingers crossed this is a permanent phase)

Playing outside (he'll bring his shoes over to indicate this)

He's still a happy smiley guy and personality wise just seems "lighter" than Collin. I think he'll be our comic relief to his brother's intensity. Not to say, he doesn't have tantrums or get angry. Lately he thinks it's hilarious to slap mom and dad in the face and hits and pulls Collin's hair. I'm not worrying about him being pushed around by bigger kids...

So far, he's a tot of few words though he's doing lots of babbling and probably has full on conversations that we can't understand. Words are:

Mama

Dada

Mo (more)

Nana (banana)

Nononono (every toddler's favorite)

He brings over bowls when he wants food and can understand some simple commands (like bring me the cup). Milo also is eating a ton lately and takes two to three hour naps. Growth spurt I imagine. 

Tomorrow, he gets to join the Koalas class at school. He's ready to move on from the Nonours (teddy bears) and hang out with the tots who can run around and hit him back. He'll get to go outside every day rain or shine and do more exploring. We're also looking forward to his first French words.

This is an exhausting age. We're constantly trying to keep up with Milo and help feed his curiosity. At the same, the big smiles, the goodbye waves, blowing kisses and the giggles make it worthwhile.
