Lots in Common

My 16 (almost 17) month old has a lot in common with the Tazmanian devil or "Taz" for short.  Wikipedia describes Taz as follows:


As the youngest of the Looney Tunes, the Tasmanian Devil, or 'Taz' as he has come to be known, is generally portrayed as a dim-witted teenager-type with a notoriously short temper and little patience. He will eat anything and everything, with an appetite that seems to know no bounds. He is best known for his speech consisting mostly of grunts, growls and rasps, and his ability to spin and bite through just about anything.


While he may not be a teenager, my son fits that description in quite a few ways...short temper, little patience, eating anything, loves to spin...  Add to that, "enjoys climbing on dangerous heights, taking toys from other children, and pulling dishes out of the dishwasher" and they could be twins! 


Okay, I guess my baby does do a few things that "Taz" doesn't do.  He gives the sweetest kisses,  raises his eyebrows up the cutest way when he's asking for his sippy cup, roars fabulously when impersonating a lion, loves being read to, and expresses his creativity through impromptu piano concerts and crayon scribble scrabble.  He may be a mess right now, but we love him dearly!  Who could resist this face?
