Opposites

James and Rayya couldn't be more opposite (as babies)! Besides the obvious, that James is a BOY and Rayya is a GIRL. Here are just a few of the ways that they are different (comparing James to Rayya when he was the same age):
• James hated baths when he was a baby, Rayya loves them!
• James did not sleep through the night until 9 months old, and Rayya already does (sometimes).
• James loved to be rocked, Rayya does not.
• James fell asleep nursing, Rayya rarely does.
• James could not self-soothe, and Rayya loves that best.
• James loved his carseat, and often slept in it. Rayya hates it.
• James loved (and still loves) travelling and car rides. Rayya is not a fan.
• James liked tummy time. Rayya does not appreciate tummy time.
• James liked goofy faces and noise-making toys, and Rayya doesn't as much.
• James liked big groups of people. Rayya most certainly is more of a home-body.
• James could sleep anywhere. Rayya needs her crib.
• James took the bottle instantly. Rayya likes nursing better.
• James always woke up crying. Rayya coos and "talks" to herself when she wakes up.
• James cried getting his diaper changed (and still does). Rayya loves diaper changes.
• James wasn't drooly. Rayya is always soaked.
• James handled needles pretty good. Rayya screamed all the way home.
• James often up-chucked large amounts of milk. Rayya keeps hers down almost always.
• James liked infant Tylenol. Rayya spits it out.
• James looks like mommy, and Rayya like daddy.
• James is spirited, and Rayya is textbook.
• James didn't cry loud, Rayya can burst eardrums.
• James has sensitive skin, and Rayya doesn't not.
• James is photogenic, and Rayya is not (gets that from me, unfortunately).
This list could be much, much longer - but I don't want to completely put you to sleep. Some of this is moreso for my own records than anything else, but I thought some of you might find it interesting.

I'm really noticing a difference between Riley and Owen and he's only 2 months old. Compared to Riley i find him a much easier baby, even with the teething and reflux. I can't wait to see how different they are as they continue to grow!

Isn't it amazing how 2 babies that come from the same parents can be so different? I found that list to be interesting as well! A great record for later on when things just mush together! lol.
Have a great Christmas Heather!
