Chase at 10 months old:
Hayden at 10 months old:
Now that I have two children, comparisons are inevitable. Here are the two subjects, each at 10 months old. Chase never sat in a high chair for more than 10 minutes -- Hayden will stay in one for hours, if occupied. Chase was happy to play alone, but Hayden must be able to touch you at all times, lest he begin wailing. Hayden has much better fine motor at 10 months, and will sleep in his crib all night (instead of Mommy and Daddy's bed), however he will wake more often. Hayden is harder to bring out of a funk. Chase was a Wiggles man, and Hayden prefers Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. They both love the remote control, cell phones, and loud noises. At 10 months, both will follow the vacuum cleaner by crawling, making it near impossible to pick up crumbs and pet hair. They are both incredibly smart (I know, I'm the Mommy, but just let me finish)-- yesterday Hayden was playing with the ceiling fan remote. He began by pushing the buttons. Then he felt the wind from above. He looked up then back down and continued to play. After a minute or so he would push a button, and then look to see what the fan would do. Repeat, repeat. I love watching the internal hamster wheel turning. Chase is using words like "under," "behind," "terrible," and my personal favorite, "imagination." Not at 10 months of course, but I can't wait to see what his little brother will be doing at 3 years old. What will I be doing then? Vacuuming in peace, naturally.

They look a lot alike I think. The ole compare/contrast is pretty interesting, eh?
