Differences

For some reason, when I became pregnant with Garrett, I always thought that my children would be just a like. When I thought of what he would look like, I thought even though he is a boy.. I'm sure they will look alike, too. I thought they would be one in the same basically. I'm so wrong. I don't know why I thought this. They are two totally different people. I have three sisters. When I think about it, my sisters and I are really not so much alike either. Of course, there are some similarities... some.

Here are a few of the things I have found different about my babies:

Izzie loved to cuddle. She still does. When she was a baby, she would just lay beside me and slowly drift to sleep while I held her. She's two and still likes to for me to hold her. Garrett only likes for me to cuddle him if he is hungry or if he wants to move around. He's not crawling yet, so I am one of his only means of transportation haha.

Garrett eats everything so far. He is not really that picky. This is surprising, because Todd and I are both very picky eaters. And guess what? Izzie is, too!! I wish she wasn't, but the child only eats a few select things like mac n' cheese, pizza, chicken, grilled cheese, and her favorite "gummies" (fruit snacks). I wish she would eat something else. I try to feed her different stuff. I won't even offer her the "good stuff" and she still won't touch anything. Garrett, on the other hand, just started baby food. He loves everything! He will eat bananas, sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, sweet peas, green beans. Everything we have tried, he has eaten.

Garrett wants to go all the time! He loves his walker. He is so far ahead of where Izzie was, well kind of sorta. It's not like Izzie was slow. She walked at 9.5 months. Garrett has been sitting up unassisted since about 5 months old. He is trying so hard to crawl, but hasn't quite gotten that leg and arm action down. He rolled over at like 2 months old. I don't think Izzie did until she was like 6 months. He also doesn't like sitting still. We have to move him around from the walker, bouncer, floor, and play mat constantly. He will play for about 15 minutes and then want to go on to the next thing.

Garrett is goes to sleep early, but hardly ever naps. He takes quick little twenty minute cat naps here and there. I have to remind him that he is a baby and needs to nap! Izzie would nap for two or three hours during the day. She still does sometimes. Garrett is pretty good at night though. He goes down around 7:30-8 in his own crib. He wakes up sometimes, but is quick to go back down. Izzie is still in our bed. we are going to be working on that soon.

Anyways, I just wanted to jot those things down. I know there are more that I have thought of, but those are the highlights. Of course, they are still similar. They are sister and brother. It's just crazy how they are their own little people.
