A Small Comparison

I know this will probably guarantee that I will no longer be eligible for the "Mom of the Year" award, but I am going to write a small comparison post on my two girls. It truly is amazing to me how I can have two girls who are such different little beings! Love them both more than anything, but they are so different! For instance:

*Lainie never spit up....never!! I did feed her too much one time when she was very little and she threw up the milk, but as far as "spitting up"...never happened! Emmie....ummmm, can we say reflux?!

*Lainie never, ever threw up or had a blow out in her crib....NEVER! I never had to change her sheets and bedding due to a massive accident. Come to think of it, I never had to change her clothes due to a blowout. Emmie.....ummmmm, not so much! Let's just say the Omnicef didn't agree with her tummy. As far as changing clothes goes, we went through more outfits when she was a newborn than I thought was possible!

*Lainie rarely drooled. I never had to change her clothes or put a bib on her because she was drooling all over her clothes. Emmie.....well, bibs are definitely a great investment for us these days! Sometimes I wonder if she is drooling or if I gave birth to a small water fountain.

*Lainie took medicine like a champ. I stuck the syringe in her mouth and she drank the stuff like it was candy. Emmie....tolerates medicine, but is also known to spit it out at any given moment.

*Lainie LOVED rice cereal, oatmeal, etc. from the first day I stuck the spoon in her mouth. She ate that stuff, fruit or no fruit, for breakfast from the time she was 4 months old until she was 18 months old. Emmie.....HATING the stuff is an understatement for her.

*Lainie never, ever, ever spit her food at her mommy while feeding her. She ate it up and would never waste an ounce of baby food on spitting. Emmie.....well, I will let the pictures speak for themselves! :)
