the differences between boys and girls


We are now seeing how different owen is than scarlett. he is such a daredevil! i never had to worry about scarlett putting anything in her mouth or jumping off of furnature or even climbing on things. our house really is not very baby proof. we dont have covers over the outlets, we dont have locks on the cupboard doors, and scarlett has a bunch of toys with little pieces. Owen crawls on the floor and within ten minutes he has at least three things hidden in his cheeks. he will look at us with his mouth tightly shut and his eyes looking around and we know that he is hiding stuff in there. or we know when he chokes or poops something out like a sticker or a rubber band. it stresses me out. he needs a muzzle. also he psuhes things all over the house and growls at the same time. scarlett never growled! when we are ironing things in the morning he will lift the ironing board up or pull it away from us. the other morning we woke up to a tumbling noise...i knew what it was immediatly. owen was falling down our stairs! it was absolutley the most terrifying sound in the world. mike and i jumped out of bed and ran screaming down the stairs after him. luckily he was fine, just a few brusies. i am so thankful that God is watching over our family! needless to say, we have gates upstairs and downstairs locked at all times now, whether we are sleeping, awake or just running downstairs for something...the gates are always locked!
