At this age, we started telling Abby "no" when she would get in to things. She would almost always listen the first time. She would cry, but she would stop doing it. Noah could care less. He is getting in to EVERYTHING! We were wayyyy spoiled with Abby, and just didn't know it. Since she never really went through the crawling phase, she didn't get in to much stuff. Noah is all over the house, and getting in everything, smashing his fingers in cabinets, putting his face in the toilet and dog food, pulling on wires, etc. It's crazy. I know it's typical kid stuff, but we're just not used to it.
When you tell him "no" he stops for a second, stares at you like "you talkin' to me??" and then keeps doing it. So, you tell him no again, and again, and again. This goes on for a couple minutes then we start pulling his hand away. We do that another couple minutes and then we just have to move him away from it.
He also eat constantly! He's always up for eating, and boy does he get cranky when he's hungry.
Noah is much more rugged than Abby ever was. He'll bump his head, fall over, whatever, and just keep going. This isn't to say he doesn't cry when he gets hurt, but it seems like his threshold is a lot higher than Abby's ever was.
He's definitely not as chatty as Abby was. Abby already had quite a few words by this point. Noah's kind of saying mama and dada when looking at us. And I swear the other day he said "hi" but he doesn't say nearly as much as Abby did.
He's more independent than Abby was. At this age, Abby had separation anxiety like crazy! Noah likes to be around us, but he'll just follow you from room to room. Abby would just sit there and cry.
He's also much more interested in the "inner workings" of toys. Instead of playing with the toy as it's meant to be, he likes to flip them over and check out their wheels and such. He's constantly knocking things over when trying to "investigate."
I'm sure as time goes on, we'll continue to see the differences in our kids!
