Our crazy little Dylan, such a big boy!

Let me start by saying that Connor was such a laid back, content baby.  We never baby-proofed anything.  He just didn't get into the cupboards.  Well, Dylan is the exact opposite.  While Dylan is very laid back and content, he is always moving looking for something to get into.  He will get into anything he can fit into, open any/all cupboards, drawers, etc.  He will empty out a laundry basket, toy bin, a diaper bag, and clear a bookshelf or pantry shelf if I just turn my back for a split second. 

Here is a little glance at everything he climbs into...and he is so proud of himself...

 

  

  

Here is Dylan climbing up the stairs to the slide at the park...

And he does tricks while he is eating...he 'magically' gets food to stick to the top of his head...

 

  

Dylan gets into everything in the kitchen...

 

  

  

And his newest trick that I am not at all a fan of...

Dylan now walks more than he crawls.  He is climbing stairs like a champ.  At the park, he will climb to the top of the play equiptment all by himself.  He is fearless.  I think the difference between the boys is that we never gave Connor the freedom and opportunity to do all these things.  Yes, Dylan already has 'second child sydrome'.  But that is who he is and we wouldn't change it for the world.  He just may have a better immune system than all of us combined and is likely to make a trip to the ER for stiches or a broken bone sooner than Connor will.  He is our fearless little boy.And is likely to give me a lot of gray hair very soon.
