Noah and Mihaela are so very different from each other. Noah (at 7 months) already gets into more stuff than Mihaela (22 months) ever did. This morning I left Noah and Mihaela in the living room while I went to refill my coffee cup. While I was gone (less than 30 seconds) Noah had climbed up on the shelf underneath the end table. He was trying to get to the puzzles that were under there. It was so funny looking. Contrast that with Mihaela who, until very recently, wouldn't even get into her toy box. If something wasn't out on the floor, she would not even try to play with it. We "child-proofed" the cabinents more for the concern of the social worker than because Mihaela needed to be blocked from getting things out. Now, however, I am thinking we may need to start "child-proofing" even more stuff to keep Noah out of them.
There are many other differences as well. Mihaela was never really interested in playing with others, preferring to be alone. Noah, on the other hand, wants to be right in the middle of the action. If someone is playing with something or someone he is not, he immediately becomes interested in what everyone else is doing and seeks to join in.
