Mr. Intensity

I was talking to someone the other day about how different David and Teya are. If my memory serves me (and it seems to nearly 47% of the time), Teya was always very laid back as a baby, REALLY happy, but also pretty unresponsive and unmotivated. She waited until 10 months to crawl and 15 months to walk. We'd try to entice her to move (or blink) with toys with very little response. What a sweet girl she's always been.

Teya, at 3.5 months

Then there's David. David is in-tense. From the beginning, everything has been full-tilt with him. If he's crying, he's crying with great emphasis. When he babbles, he does so with great inflection and spirit. When he laughs, he laughs from the depths of his belly. When he gnaws on his hands, the volumes of spit produced could lubricate a small country. When he vomits, the "splat" is a "splat" to be heard around the world. And when this boy plays....oh, how he plays!
