Questions about 2 records
I have baptism records that have have the same parents Johann Valentin Kallenbach and Anna Christina Kallenbach that are 6 months apart. The first one is 26 October 1765
The second one is the same parents and same name of child baptized 25 May 1766
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C394-432W?i=180&cc=3015626
Are they the same child? Or two different children with the same name. I could not find a death record for the first one so that is why I am confused. Also what does the wording under May mean?
Thank you for any enlightening you can give me.

It is two different boys with the same name born to two different fathers of the same name. The fathers are in different towns. The mothers have slightly different names but same surname. And the godfathers in each appears to be the father in the other!
The 26 October record
Child: Johann Valentin Kallenbach
Father: Valentin Kallenbach in Neuendorff
Mother: Anna Margaretha nee Ihlingin from the local village
Godparent: Johann Valentin Kallenbach from here
The 25 May record:
Child: Johann Valentin Kallenbach
Father: Valentin Kallenbach from here by the Linde residence
Mother: Anna Christina nee Ihlingin from the local village
Godparent: Johann Valentin Kallenbach in Neuendorff
Under 25 May, it says the child died the 8th December 1835
