Differences

Everyone tells you when you have more than one child...they will all be SO different. I guess I knew that would probably be the case, but now that Morgen is getting older & I have things to compare her to JaCee with --- it's SOO true. They are opposites. I'm going to list some things so far that I notice for my own records to look back on.


This weekend someone asked me if Morgen was 71/2 or 8 months old? I said NO - she's just a little over 4 months old. I remember when JaCee was about this age, I was at Ross shopping --- a lady asked me how old JaCee was...I said 4 months old. She said, "oh was she a preemie?" I remember being upset when I left...I'm still upset over both comments.


Morgen loves her bath time!
JaCee didn't like her bath time until she was about 9 months or so.



JaCee loved the Bumboo --- Morgen hates it!
Morgen loves her bouncy seat --- JaCee didn't like it at all!
(They both did LOVE LOVE LOVE the swing --- thank goodness for me with both kid's)


Morgen falls asleep the minute the car starts moving.
JaCee used to cry until she puked on any car drive. (Matt & I still drive by places & say, remember pulling over there & getting JaCee out. I used to cry because JaCee got so upset...and we would drive until I couldn't take it anymore, pull over, comfort her & then try it again.)



JaCee slept on her stomach.
Morgen is a back & side sleeper.


Okay, that is all I can think of for now....Here is a few pictures of the girls last weekend.

Morgen at 20 weeks~

JaCee at 2 years & 2 months old~

And together...yes, the outfits DO match! Someone got Morgen the outfit that matched this shirt I already had for JaCee. I figured I better get pictures of them in it together before Morgen outgrows hers.

We had Morgen at the Dr. last week to have something on her tongue looked at. I thought it might be a weird version of thrush , but it wasn't...the Dr said it's normal, she has a tongue that has geographical markings on it. Nice to know it's not painful to her & something I don't need to treat, etc. But Morgen weighed in at 16lbs. She's only got 9 lbs now to catch JaCee!

Both girls are doing good. Morgen is trying to sit up on her own. We were on a walk the other day & I had her laid back in the stroller & she sat up straight, just using her stomach muscles. She really wants to be up & seeing what is going on around her. Her sleeping patterns are still about the same...napping about 3 hours total during the day & sleeping 12 hours(8pm to 8am) at night - up 1 or 2 times to eat...we're doing solids 2 times a day, if I can get it in. I remember JaCee going through this phase when they are 1st learning to eat solids that you have to get them between bottle feeding times & when they are just starting to get hungry again --- but not overly hungry or it's a train wreck. After a few weeks of eating good twice a day, we'll move to 3 meals a day.

JaCee's doing good too. She has her follow up appt. for her thumbs on Thursday. We'll see what the Dr says.

Friday morning, my mom & I are taking the girls to Boise for a few day's to visit my mom's best friend. Wish us well on a 7 hour road trip with little people. I've never taken the girls this many day's without Matt to help me and he's never been away from his girls this long either. So it will be a new experience for everyone. I figure if I leave him a "honey do" list long enough, he won't have time to miss us much!
