Oh the Differences....

There are so many differences in children.  I look at the differences between my sister and I, Lincoln and his siblings, and my own two.  All raised by the same parents, yet soooo different!  

I have noticed the difference in Hunter and Graysen almost from day 1.  Maybe it's partially due to the fact that I was new at everything with Hunter, maybe it's just the kid.  Who ever knows.  Here are some of the differences I've spotted in the two:

1.  Hunter wanted to be held all the time - Graysen is normally content to sit and play with a toy.
2.  Hunter was never a "nurse on demand" kind of kid - Graysen definitely is!
3.  Hunter wanted to eat table food as soon as possible (somewhere around 8 months) - Graysen refuses to eat most table food and prefers Stage 2 Baby Food still.
4.  Hunter made up his mind to do something (crawl, walk, etc.) and once he started he never stopped - Graysen takes her time...she took several weeks to actually start crawling all the time and has taken a few steps here and there, but still isn't walking in long lengths.
5.  Hunter still wants to be cuddled to sleep and would sleep anywhere - Graysen does better by just laying her down and wants to be in her own bed.
6.  Hunter hates having anything done with his hair (brushed, styled, etc.) - Graysen has never minded me doing her hair.

I'm sure there's many more to come - none the less, I'm amazed at in Gray's 10 short months of life she's shown so many differences from her brother.

Tell me about it!! My kids couldn't be any more opposite and it's been obvious since about week two! I thank God every day - we all know how Ryann was as a baby, I DID NOT want to do that again!
