Two kids - lots of differences

So, Addison and Kennedy are very different babies. I'm amazed at how different two kids can be - kids that have the same parents and are less than 20 months apart. Their personalities are so much fun to watch develop.

Just off the top of my head...

Addison
-loved her pacifier
-didn't seem to notice if she had a wet diaper (or even a dirty one)
-could take or leave the baby swing (everyone told us that the swing was the cure to any cry, but that wasn't really the case with Addy)
-never really needed to be burped and only twice in her life spit up
-was a slow eater - she would swallow three times and then pause for a few seconds and then start again
-was a big baby (always above the 97th percentile in height and weight)
-didn't really respond to singing to soothe
-was always moving her feet (all of her old clothes (the ones that Kennedy is now wearing) have knobs on the backs of the feet from where she moved her feet against whatever they were resting against)

Kennedy
-will take a pacificer if it's handy, but prefers her thumb sometimes and sometimes prefers nothing at all
-is not happy about much at all in her diaper
-is very happy in the swing and will happily drift in and out of sleep in it, or sometimes just watch the world from it
-seems to always have a burp in her tummy somewhere and is sometimes like a mini-Old Faithful spit-up geyser
-gulps and never pauses - unless it's to choke a little (which of course may lead to the above mentioned issues)
-is a bigger baby even still (she's outgrowing clothes about 2 months ahead of the time that Addy did)
-responds to singing - it is a cure for most crying (she heard a lot more singing in utero though, because as Addy's gotten older, she loves music, so we're always singing now)
-is more of a stretcher than a mover (beware if she can't completely stretch out - she'll tell the world about it)

So, at this point, Kennedy seems to be the more mellow of the two, while Addy seems to always want to be a part of the action. We'll see if their personalities continue on those paths.

Whatever the case though, they are the most perfect little ones... and I'm continually amazed that we somehow got the smartest, cutest, strongest, fastest, and most wonderful kids out there (followed very closely by our friends' kids of course!).

Oh and though they are different in many ways, both of them seem to be able to wiggle out of Carter's Wiggle Proof Socks quicker than any others. Go fig. =)
