The Difference Between Boys and Girls
Well, the Jeep died again. That's another car story for another day, because I'm not sure how the story ends. On a totally different note... Now that my baby boy is 7 1/2 months old, my husband and I have definitely noticed a difference between our boy baby and when my daughter was a baby. Here's a few examples. When my daughter was a baby, she would delicately pluck threw carpet fuzz and her car seat foam and eat them both. My son can pick up an entire wipie container with one hand and seemingly try and eat the whole thing. My daughter would giggle and coo. My son laughs out loud, yelps, and hollers. All the time. He's especially loud when he's trying to beat some sort of object against the floor with all his might. Like he can kill it. My daughter showed signs of being curious at an early age. My son can already pull himself to a standing position, grab whatever items I put on the couch to get them out of his reach, and pull them down to the floor with a look of triumph. And then attack them like he's out to kill them. My daughter would lie still to get her diaper changed. My son will do a complete three-sixty several times during a diaper change. I'm usually sweating by the time I have him fully dressed again. My daughter could skip a bath every now and then. It seems like my son needs them every 5 hours. I tried to explain the yelping thing to my co-worker, Jana, when she brought her precious one year old, over for a playdate. She said, "Oh, that's just language aquisition." I wonder what language exactly is he trying to acquire? Because it's one I've never heard before. I'm exhausted all the time, my house is constantly a mess, and I haven't had a haircut in 8 months. By the way, I adore this little guy. Seriously, I'm crazy about him.
