Synchronization of Us

Long time no post, i swore when i started this blog that i was either going to write regularly
or not write at all. Its just been a busy week with little computer time - plus i just got my hands on Diner Dash 3 - Flo On The Go (Play trial at - http://tinyurl.com/37prmk) and have to play these till there completed.

Its been the usual fun in the McIntyre home, Rebecca is getting better and better at the walking everyday . Today she barely crawled at all and was even trying to dance, she also got a new word “Back Pack” as in Dora’s - Thanks Mum. Eilidh is really getting good at babbling and is
desperately trying to roll over but the dam arm keeps getting in the way.
We had a weigh in the other day and Becca is finally above the 20lbs mark at 20.5 and 81cm long (up from 19.11 and 77cm long the month before). Eilidh was 13.2 and 64cm long .

It was my wedding anniversary on Monday, a whole 2 years married
It really seems like nothing when compared to alot of couples, my parents have been married 26 years in April and I’m sure that is nothing for some people. DH and i had a lovely evening - just the fact that we spent it together was enough for me. We had a meal (Domino’s Pizza - but saved him cooking and other take aways are out as Eilidh reacts to alot of things) , and watched a movie (The Break Up) . The sweetest thing was he arranged candles all around the room and we eat and sat in candle light all night, he really is a romantic guy at heart.

It sometimes amazes me how different my girls are, its only been 3 months so they could end
up being so alike but for the moment…..

Here’s a picture of them both at 3 months, Becs first and Eilidh second. I really
think they look completely different.

My pregnancies were complete opposites so i guess i shouldn’t be surprised , with Rebecca
i felt awful from day one whereas except from the tiredness/fed up- ness in the last trimester
i felt fine with Eilidh.
Then there was there sizes -
Rebecca 6lbs 13oz, 50cm long, 34cm head………6 days early and
had her health problems.
Eilidh 8lbs 10oz, 54.5cm long, 36cm head……..8 days late and completely healthy.

I guess i was lucky as one of there similarities has been they both took to the breast like naturals.

I have noticed quite a few differences in there personality in the few months since Eilidhs birth, lets see…

Rebecca was never big on sleeping by herself and much preferred being in our arms.
Eilidh although does like her cuddles sleeps so much better on her own.
Rebecca now at 20 months still wakes once a night, Eilidh at 3 months wakes once a night to.
Rebecca though liked independent play and loved tummy time, Eilidh hates tummy time and
is nowhere near as big on independent play.
Rebecca was also quite a hard child to get to laugh, my dad used to say she would look at you like you were stupid. Eilidh on the other hand laughs and smiles at everything.

Then there is there sizes, okay Eilidh got a 2lbs start but right now she is almost 14lbs . Rebecca
was 14lbs 5oz at 6 months. Eilidh is currently in 3-6 months clothes, Rebecca was at least
6 months before she started wearing that size and that was because i was bored of the 0-3 months stuff. Rebecca definitely takes after her dad and Eilidh my family.

There is also there temperament, although for the most part both are great happy kids. Nothing would phase Rebecca and nothing in my milk would bother her, she could go days without crying at all. Eilidh is a fussier child and i need to avoid eating certain spices and hot foods.

I really cannot wait for the coming months to see there similarities and differences develop more. I do think a major similarity is there both the cutest babies ever
