… loves electrical cords. He can spot one from across the room and you will have to try your best to keep him out away from it.
… has a major temper. He already can throw a tantrum like no other. He arches his back and kicks his feet. I thought it was way too early for this.
… will give kisses and giant hugs when asked. He pats your back while he is hugging you. I have waited for this day for a long time.
… has a one track mind. If he decides to do something, there isn’t much that will really keep him from it. This is where the tantrums really come in. He is obsessed with one certain drawer in my mom’s kitchen right now. He goes straight to it. He also cannot keep his little hands off of my keyboard or mouse.
… loves balloons. He wasn’t too sure of them at first but now he is obsessed with the ones from his birthday party. He carries them all over the house. He crawls on them. He pops them. He’s like a one man parade with them. It’s so funny.
…. can problem solve really well. He can open doors and take the tops off and put them back onto things.
…. likes to use your finger to do things. He will take your hand and make you touch the cracker on his tray or push the buttons on a toy.
… has numerous nicknames – Stinkyface, Shooshie, Shooby Doo, Monkey Doodle, Gagie, Turdbutt.
… has no interest in walking it seems. He would rather crawl really fast.
… loves to be chased. If he thinks you are coming after him, he takes off at lightning speed in the opposite direction.
… loves Ritz crackers and yogurt.
… is so hard to bathe now. He wants to crawl all around the tub and stand up. I busted out a tooth in the tub when I was about this age so it freaks me out for him to be too active in there.
… is getting alot more hair all of a sudden. It’s really frizzy but it is getting better now that his curls are getting longer. I’m hoping for big ringlets.
… will sit in a laundry basket and play for a long time. He loves it in there.
… has a love/hate relationship with his toy pig. It’s a Fisher Price toy that is a piggy bank that you put big coins into a slot on the top of it. Then you open a door on the side to get the coins back out. Gage cannot figure out how to open the side door and it frustrates him like nothing else. He will get mad and throw the pig across the floor. It’s such a grown up reaction that it’s funny.
… is very hot natured. At night I have to remove his PJ pants because he is sweating so much. My husband and I are both like that as well so it doesn’t surprise me at all.
