Apples and Oranges

Becky isn't yet three months old, but I'm going to throw out a little comparison—you can try to figure out who is which of each of these comparisons: (in no particular order)

1. Grunted – Fairly quiet
2. Nursed right away – Took a couple weeks to really nurse
3. Took a pacifier – Gagged on all pacifiers
4. Slept through the night starting at 6 weeks – Slept through the night starting at 10 weeks
5. Like the swing – Tolerated the swing
6. Wanted to be held, constantly part of the action – Content to be not held, and even in the other room
7. Had colic– not recommended – Didn't fuss much
8. Spit up constantly – Hardly ever spit up
9. Looked at the mobile – Couldn't care less about the mobile
10. Laughed at 6 weeks old – Smiled at 6 weeks old
11. Visually tracked objects around 5 weeks – Visually tracked objects in the hospital
12. No distinct eye color for a while – Blue eyes, practically right away
13. Liked to be wrapped up in a blanket – Wanted limbs free from restraints

Although these are simple differences and Becky being her age, it's still interesting to observe. I can only imagine how different these two will be as they continue to grow older. Despite these differences, they have a number of things in common:

• Big, beautiful eyes
• Long, curly eyelashes
• Not fans of bottles– but we've got all the gear
• Great nursers that got nice and chubby – gotta love baby rolls
• Wonderful little additions to a family, and loved a lot

I'm extremely late in adding more pictures for Becky. Hopefully by the time you read this I'll have added some (and if so, I'll put in a little thumbnail of one in this entry). In case you're curious, the answers to the comparisons above are: (C)ecilia & (B)ecky
