Baby Gavin couldn't be more different from Tyler in many ways. They both love their baths. When Tyler was a baby I knew he loved the bath because he always fell asleep in the tub. So calm and mellow, he'd always lie against the backrest and let me pour water over him. Gavin will never fall asleep in the tub, he is busy as a beaver. I can tell he loves the bath because of the way he kicks his feet both at the same time, flailing his arms around, so happy and alert. Baby is all about standing up. He'd prefer to stand, not sit. Obviously, he can't stand unassisted but when Tyler was this age, he had no desire to stand and actually his feet were always pointing the toes so he couldn't really stand. Baby pushes on his flat feet so strongly, you'd think you could let go and he'd take off walking.

Tyler has been saying some good sentences l lately. This morning he said "Kids on bus," and "Baby touch hair." The other day we were driving to school and I pointed out a dog at the park. Tyler yelled to the dog, shaking his finger "No Eat Trash Dog!" Guess he's heard me yell at Chili or something!
