Brooks' bed head, Kate's new big girl bed...

I have been thinking of this post for a while. Since this is for family and friends, and also my "journal/memory book", I wanted to take a minute and think about how my kids are so different:

• Kate and Brooks have always been good sleepers.


• Kate will sleep until 7am, and Brooks is up before 6am talking.


• Brooks is much more of a talker than Kate was.


• Kate is a much better eater than Brooks is.


• Kate would try so much food; Brooks will try hardly anything.


• Kate was always great at dressing (she learned quickly to help us put her shirts on); Brooks has never liked being dressed.


• Brooks is great at letting me put his shoes on - he holds his feet up to do it. Kate used to fight me by curling her toes.


• Kate seems tougher than Brooks. He is much more sensitive.
  
• The were both late crawlers and walkers (Brooks isn't walking yet).


• Kate's teeth came in one at the time. Brooks' teeth come in groups.


• So, Kate had little trouble teething. Brooks was a nightmare.


• When Kate is sick, we are usually up and down with her at night. Brooks has never woken us up at night when he is sick.


• Kate was much sicker as a baby than Brooks has been.


• They are both great car riders.


• Kate is a daddy's girl; Brooks is a mama's boy.


• Kate loves my horse, Reed. Brooks wants nothing much to do with him (although he is getting better)


• Kate loves, loves, loves milk. Brooks is difficult to get to drink it, although he is getting better.


• Kate was a late talker. Brooks babbles all the time. I think he gets that from Scott.


• Both are great medicine takers.


• Kate loves to read books. Brooks isn't as interested (could it be because he is the 2nd child and I don't have as much time?)


• Kate was a little ticklish. You can almost make Brooks laugh by thinking about tickling him.


• Brooks has always smiled and laughed. Kate didn't have that hearty laugh as a baby that he has. I know he gets that from Scott!

Well, I'm sure that I will come up with more. I really enjoyed that!
