The girls are now about 10-11 weeks old and my how they have changed. Chloe is now right at 8lbs and Sidney is a busting 10lbs! They are both so much fun. We can't wait until they are making more noises and really interacting alot, though they are doing more of that each day. At the same time, we are already seeing how fast they will grow. Some outfits don't fit anymore and that is sad. Our little girls are growing up.....
But boy are they different.
Sidney is funny. Of course when she was born we realized just what kind of lifestyle she was taking on in the womb. We can picture here in there, all laid back in a cushy sofa, having grapes and chocolate brought to her by her servants. She did nothing but eat and sleep, apparently. Cause when she came out
SHE WAS HUGE compared to her sister. That trend continues here at home. Sidney's days consist of eating, sleeping, farting, grunting, a little fussiness, and some SHORT play time (then repeat). She is very cuddly though. She loves holding onto your neck and sleeping while making those little "goo" sounds babies do as they fall asleep. She is for sure the laid back, take it easy, please find me a beach with some food, girl at this point.
Chloe on the other hand is her own little self. She too eats, sleeps, farts, grunts, plays, and fusses. But she is the wiggle worm of the two and was when in the womb. She was the one kicking and starving basically as her big sister hogged it all. She cannot be still. She has to see what is going on and gets very frustrated when things aren't going just the way she had planned for the afternoon. I can see her with a list in her head....
"Ok, gonna get up at 6am....eat some, have a grunt and toot fest, wiggle alot, stare at everything I can, do some moving aerobic activity and then I might sleep, if I feel like it, all by 8am." She is like her daddy big time and she seems to be a daddy's girl too. Chloe is the "take me to New York and let me see the world!" kind of girl. Going to the beach and laying around? Huh. She could do it...for a few hours! She is more of the noise maker right now too. I hope she is musical. One of them needs to be!
The only real thing we see in common right now is their natural ability to cry as if their arms are being pulled off, turning purple and quiverring their little lips like they are 100 degrees below zero weather, yet all being done magically without sheding one single tear. They do it as a team too, taking turns and then making sure it really gets nutts by both going crazy and doing it at the same time.
That is a funny thing. Loud but funny. They haven't quite learned that it doesn't work.
Boy oh boy, do Julie and I have a lot in front of us!
