Walkin' and Talkin'

We have hit a HUGE milestone! Bruce is walkin' and talkin'! I have decided that some kids you think wow that was fast, too fast and then you are saying "How did you find that? Where are you going? Come back here? Where did you get that? Have you seen my kid? Oh, don't mind what she is saying?" Then there are kids like Bruce, oh dear Brucey Boy. He is the type of kid that when he is old enough to speak in sentences he will say "Mom can we stay home today, Dad and I wanna stack wood and watch movies?" Whereas my Autumn is the type that every mourning at breakfast asks "Mom what is today? Where we going?" When you drop her off at a friends house or nursery she is in the door before you can say goodbye.

Bruce, needless to say is a homebody and until last Friday a 'hipbody' too. He prefers the view from mom or dad's hip. At any given time he is no further than 5 ft from me or his dad. If anyone comes to our house he immediately crawls into our arms and will not get down, almost as if he thinks we invited them there to adopt him or something. He is very curious boy, but only at home, when no one is looking. Even when he figured out he could walk he would drop to his knees when we started clapping. I decided that he is a lot like his dad. Isaac did not talk until he was 3. His older sister did most of the talking for him as does Bruce's sister. Isaac is not a people person and prefers to stay home. Isaac does not like to show off or give any indication that he does things really well in front of others. Go figure I was going for mommy's boy and I get daddy's clone.
