Growing Up

Little G is now 13 months old!  He's getting bigger and so much so, that we had to change him out of his infant car seat that my mom was using for her car.  (E was able to get a car seat that should last him until he can ride without one and G was given E's car seat from our car.)

It's pretty fun to see how similar and different G is turning out to be compared to his brother.  For example, E was never really into playing with a ball, G loves them.  E is particular about his food, G will devour anything in sight. E has always been a challenge in the sleep department, G rarely wakes in the middle of the night. E would rather play with cars and trucks, G loves to color.

They have the same laugh, are ticklish in the same spots, laugh when they are tired, pick their noses (this is new to G), love milk and water, and love to swing, be outside, and ride bikes.

G isn't talking yet, but he definitely will tell you that he wants something.  He loves to listen to music and will bounce up and down.  I mentioned in another post that G now spins in circles, particularly when we sing "Ring Around the Rosie".

He is always on the go and doesn't like to be contained. Or touched on the head much. Or to be cleaned.  He does like to play chase and climb the steps to our bathtub so he can climb in to play.

I love watching him want to do what his brother does rather than play with toys that are developmentally appropriate for him at this age.  Baby toys, schmaby toys.

 He loves to lay and roll around on the carpet.

Did I mention that this child knows how to get my iPhone screen to turn on?
