nothing alike

It's been awhile since I've done a side-by-side of the girls ... 

who are sisters by the way ... 

born to the same mother and father ... 

just reminding you of these facts because ... 

aside from the pajamas and the chair,

I don't see any similarities between these two!

Natalie is 8 months younger and 3 pounds heavier 

than Charlotte in this side-by-side.

Natalie weighed 17.5 pounds at 6 months.  

Charlotte weighs about 14.5 pounds at 14 months.

Okay, so my girls are alike in some ways ... 

like the fact that they both L-O-V-E that binky!

And Itty Bit (white bunny) is a hand-me-down lovey from Natalie.  

Both of my girls love that Bunny by the Bay.

Other ways they are "nothing alike" ...

• First and foremost, Natalie is a great sleeper, and she is a heavy sleeper.  Charlotte is a very light sleeper and wakes easily and often.
• Natalie has always loved reading books.  She would sit on our laps for hours and read one story after another.  From a young age, she "read" stacks of books by herself.  Charlotte will sometimes tolerate having a book read to her.
• Charlotte will eat fruit all day long ... berries, citrus, as long as it's not pureed, she'll eat it.  Natalie refuses to eat any fruit; she will occasionally eat applesauce or a banana or one slice of a clementine (but only if I insist).
