talkative han

lil han, who’s coming to 15 months, is fast at picking up words, loves imitating new sounds & does excellent in both. his development in speech began much earlier than big bro an, who only made more effort to speak at the age of 2 1/2. lil han also started to crawl & walk earlier. based on all his milestones, i reckon he’s trying to catch up to his big bro. he adores an & loves to play with him or just be around him. nope, they’re not entirely, 100% angelic towards each other & yup, they do fight over a whole lot of things but they never fail to look out for each other.
