Quiet and Quite Quick
Thaddeus is very, very curious. He is also very quiet. This combination is proving to be a bit dangerous for him. He will creep away silently to explore all the potential adventures in the house. Thad is crawling super quickly now and so we don't always notice when he has left the immediate area, especially if I am trying to do something like making dinner.
He enjoys playing with or at least near Eila and Josiah, and when they move to a different location tries to follow them. Unfortunately, he tried to follow Eila downstairs yesterday to play with Josiah and tumbled all the way down. He wasn't hurt, but now his big brother and sister understand exactly why it's so important to shut the door and gate when they go to the basement.
Thaddeus loves water. He often climbs up the step stool in the bathroom and checks out the sink. He also has been trying to discover what is in the toilet; TJ is quite persistent.
With the Christmas tree up, Thad is pulling off needles and using branches to stand up. He is attempting to unplug the lights and take them on and off the tree (with his mouth). Despite his love of putting things into his mouth, Thaddeus is not actually eating anything and does not swallow anything he examines orally or any food either.
