Dancing King
Being such a good dancer is tough. Bo works on his skill whenever the music starts 
We went to the park with Grandma and listened to a band playing and Bo had lots of fun.
Besides dancing Bo likes playing with his monster trucks, Thomas trains, and his huge collection of cars.
We are currently working on his school work twice a week for about 30 minutes at a time. He enjoys doing school work, but we limit the time so that he will continue to enjoy it. His favorite things to do are mazes and cutting (what kid doesn’t like to cut things?). He already knows all of his upper and lower case letters and can count objects to 13 (then he skips to 17 )
Being a big brother definitely agrees with Bo. As I mentioned in the previous post, Bo loves sharing a bedroom with Levi and he calls it the “brother’s room”. He is usually very sensitive to Levi’s needs and tries to help whenever he isn’t otherwise occupied. We are having to work on being gentle as he wants to pick Levi up and tote him around which isn’t really possible considering he only has about 10 lbs on Levi.
As I type this Bo is role playing and mixing up some yogurt for us. He has all this cooking things laid out on the floor, mixing and adding, then tasting his ‘creation’. He is so dramatic and uses his hands when he talks. Bo keeps us laughing all day long and it’s never boring around here
These last two pictures show perfectly his aversion to cameras. He refused to smile for me and ran to Grandma when he figured out I was taking his picture
Eight Teeth Later
Biscuit is growing so fast and moving faster so it’s hard to keep up with him. I decided it was way past time to update everyone on Levi’s progress so here we go
Levi is now 9 months old. At his 9 month check up the doctor proclaimed him perfect (we already knew that). He weighs 22lbs and is 28 inches long. Levi enjoys using all eight of his teeth to chomp through any kind of food that we give him. He loves to eat and squeals, like a the little piglet he is, if we don’t get the food in front of him fast enough.
We thought for sure he would skip crawling and go straight to walking. Levi is already pulling up on the furniture and seemed to prefer just army-crawling, but finally this past Thursday he started crawling for real and he’s so proud of himself.
Levi was still waking up during the night, not because he was hungry, but because he kept hearing us (me and Chip) moving. So we decided it was time to train him to sleep through the night. It took only three nights and he was sleeping through the night and sharing a room with Bo. Bo loves sharing a room with his little brother, and I’m not just saying that. Bo wants Levi to sleep the same time he does and wouldn’t go to sleep last night till I brought Levi in to the bedroom. I’ll write an update post for Bo later today.
I took these pictures at the park when we went to see Grandma on Thursday. The boys had lots of fun.
