Similarities at this age:
- Hiccups and spits up a lot
- Doesn't cry much
- Has beautiful coloring
- Lost their hair - Lauren lost everything except around her neck. Colson has lost from his forehead to his scalp.
- Sweet, happy babies that make my heart smile!
- Colson is so patient and calm; Lauren was fiesty and easily frustrated...
- Colson has blue eyes; Lauren has big brown eyes.
- Colson will sleep anywhere and however I lay him down. Lauren had to sleep on my chest or in my arms until she was about 6 weeks old. Then she would only sleep on her tummy.
- Colson is very tolerant and laid back; Lauren made sure we knew she was mad. We were told from day 1 that she was an "alpha female" and we'd have our hands full with her! (ex. In the hospital Lauren returned from her heel stick screaming and crying. Colson returned from his heel stick content. He wasn't crying after his circumcision either)
- Colson calms down when I sing to him or if I put on Zac Brown songs. Lauren loved Rascal Flatts and could care less about my singing.
- Colson still likes to be swaddled- sometimes he fights it a little if he is already fussy, but generally will stay in it; Lauren hated it after about a week and was like Houdini getting out of any swaddle we put her in.
- Colson isn't too interested in tummy time and usually puts his head down to sleep; Lauren was scooting a little and enjoyed it.
- Colson took an ounce of milk from a bottle from me tonight with no crying and only a few "what is this?" looks; Lauren took a bottle from me, but made sure I knew she hated it. She screamed and cried until her lips were quivering...
- Colson will take a pacifier a few times a week; Lauren never took one.
- Random: Lauren's umbilical cord fell off when she was 3 weeks old. Colson's fell off around day 5!
