No two children are alike!

So over the last six months I have learned one definite thing about my children...no two babies are alike! When Morgan was a baby, she never was a very big eater (however that has changed as she got older). It was always a struggle to get her to finish her bottles, she had projectile spit up, and when it came time to introduce baby food, she eat well, but she was very calm about it. It took her about 4 years before she eve caught up with other kids her age weight wise. Even today while she seems to be hungry all the time, she is still a very lackadaisical eater, nibbling a little here & a little there.

Kayleigh on the other hand has been a serious eater since the day she was born! She sucks down her bottles a quick as she possibly can. She did have a little bit of a reflux problem at first, but she has pretty much out grown it now. Now that Kayleigh is eating baby food, meals have become a speed event! I can't ever seem to shovel it into her mouth fast enough...she screams between bites until the spoon it inches from her mouth...here is a picture from last nights feeding.
You know Kayleigh is full when she stops fussing between bites. Last night she strated trying to devour a toy on her exersaucer between bites when she hit the full stage. Patience while eating is definitely not her forte. Not to mention that at nearly 6 months of age, Kayleigh weighs more than Morgan did when she turned 1!

  2. Paul said the same thing about cats. He always thought that they were the same until he had more than one and realized they aren't. Your blog entry is VERY VERY familiar, it's like you took a page out of our family scrapbook, Kenai didn't catch up with his weight until this year and Kodiak, well he looks like he's a miniature buddha baby. It's crazy how much different Kodiak is from Kenai.
