Well, I know that Nanna will not be happy about the Pinterest post unless it is followed with appropriate posting and pictures of one of her grandchildren. Tyler has been up to a lot of cute things lately that I felt deserved a mention anyway.
13 months is such a fun age. It is also really interesting to watch your second grow and see how different kids are from one another. Things I somehow expected to be the "same" as his big sis are so different. For example, Tyler walked a little earlier than KK - but that's not what surprised me. I knew there might be differences like that. But he did surprise me with the insane speed in which he has ramped up to coordinated FAST walking. The little guy could tear across the living room at warp speed with a couple of weeks of his first steps. KK's ramp up to fast walking was much more slow and cautious and took a couple of months.
Tyler is super expressive and chatty - this is the same as his sis. However while she spoke her first clear word at 7 months, he still mainly babbles. However, it is clear he is trying to communicate. His favorite word besides "mama" is "Oh!" - said in all sorts of cute and different ways and with different kinds of emphasis, often as a means to point out things he wants to touch or "discuss" with mommy. I really need to capture it on video because it is melt-your-heart adorable.
He loves to take things in and out of bags and can occupy himself for quite awhile with this task. He likes to get into the plastic cups in the pantry and take them in and out of the various school lunch bags that reside there. He then proudly carries his filled bag around the living room. He has become super observant of the world around him. He likes to get his own wad of toilet tissue and hurl it into the potty after mommy, sister or daddy are done. He also likes to take a wet wash cloth and "clean" the floor the way he sees mommy do so frequently.
KK used to put things in bags too. I think that's a universal thing, they see us hauling bags of stuff in and out of the house. Tyler certainly is different from KK. Imagine if he had been your first. KK's intensity would seem unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteI used to get nearly daily posts about KK. Poor Tyler, second babies don't get the press they deserve.
