i'm so glad i kept this blog to document caleb's development, cuz now it's cool to go back and see where he was at and compare it to where brynna's at. i know, i know, not supposed to compare your kids, but it's inevitable.

so here's some differences i noticed...

caleb was a hell of a lot fussier. he used to be a big, crying punk a lot of the time and didn't take good naps. brynna sleeps good all day long and usually cries when she's hungry, gassy, or tired. sometimes it's hard to get her to stop, but nowhere near what caleb was like.

caleb slept for longer stretches in the night. by this time he was sleeping for 4-4.5 hours for one stretch, then 3 hours for the rest of the night. brynna sleeps good throughout the day, but generally her longest stretch at night is 3 hours. she usually just gets up, eats, and goes back to sleep, though. caleb sometimes used to get nutts at night and scream his head off.

caleb was smiling at this age...brynna, not so much. she smiled at my mom today, but she hasn't smiled at me yet. she does the shishi or gas smile, but not real smiles.

caleb startled easily when he slept on his back so we transitioned him to his tummy. brynna sleeps better on her tummy, but doesn't have the same startle reflex like caleb did when she's on her back.

caleb was a lot bigger and stronger at this age. brynna still seems so fragile.

i really wonder what brynna's personality will be like...caleb's such an entertainer and still so high-strung...i'm thinking they're personalities will be pretty different.

dangit, the short weekend is over and now i can't count on dave to do every other feeding during the night...sucks. oh well...off to bocha, put caleb to bed, and pray for good sleeps for brynna...
