Not Quite Two Peas in a Pod

Ellena is 3 months old and we're getting in our Ellena groove. I am already recognizing some interesting things about her that is so different from Evan. Here's what I've noticed so far:

* El is a happy, content little girl. She cries when she's hungry or overtired. Ev was not very happy to be introduced to this world. It took him about 4 months to mellow out. Until then, he was very serious... almost grouchy with us... and he would cry/scream non-stop from 4-7 PM every night. Lovely!

* El loves the bouncy chair. There's just something about a vibe-booty that pleases her. Ev hated the bouncy chair. He was more of a swing boy. El's not so into the swing.

* Physical appearance: El looks like me! Ev looks like Pops! Ev came out with curly red hair and lost most of it. El came out with straight black hair and it is growing in thick!

* Ev was a great sleeper during the day. I "trained" him to take his naps in his crib. El is a little more strong willed. She wants to be sling-ed for her naps. But she does fine at night in her crib. Hmmm... Something to work on with her.

* El sleeps for 12 hours at night. Love it! Ev didn't do this until after he was 1 year old. No complaints here.

My two kids - I wouldn't trade them for anything. Each are so unique and special!
