He seems to be left-handed like me, and people say he looks like me. My mom says he looks a great deal like my older brother at that age.
He’s twice taken ten or twelve free-standing steps in a stretch and is venturing to walk more often.
He’s very interested in anything mechanical or with buttons, or anything he can take apart or move around a lot, and he goes for Mr. Potato Head over his stuffed animals now.
Children’s toys are often numbingly, obnoxiously, pointlessly loud, with utterly irrelevant frenetic sound effects that bear on nothing other than raw frenetics. Do toy manufacturers think children are learning anything from that? They’re learning that anything silent, quiet, or relevant is boring or not worth their time, that’s what they’re learning. My boy loves a quiet stroller walk as much. He’s happy with it. In fact the obscenely attention-grabbing toys seem only to ironically deter his interest after only a short time, while other calmer activities keep his interest.
