Two of a Kind

I always seem to be talking, or typing as the case may be, about how much alike my two are. And you can't deny, they have some similarities.

They both ended up with my blue eyes and Travis' big smile...


And of course, there's their shared love of fashion accessories...




But in just as many ways they're alike, they do have their differences, as only becomes more apparent as time goes by. Brianna would never take a pacifier as a baby, and Noah loves his. Bree had teeth by now, Noah is still flaunting gums. Bree is very good about eating her veggies, and she actually likes them too! Whereas Noah is kind of naughty about them, gags and spits, pushes them around his tray and eats everything else in sight. He's more of a carnivore, meat and carbs for that boy! Bree prefers Ramen noodles for "break-spiss" (some weird phase she's going through right now) and Noah really doesn't care what's for breakfast, as long as he gets some. And I'm sure I'll only notice their differences even more as Noah's personality continues to develop.

Whatever their differences though, it's clear they love each other. You can catch them smiling or laughing at one another all the time. One of them is always finding the other's antics pretty hysterical and egging them on. They have times when they play well together and times when they already make each other mad, mostly over who has what the other wants. In fact, I was laughing to myself in the car the other day to hear "NO-AH! Stop that! MO-OM, look what Noah's doing!" (He had managed to yank away her preschool coloring pages.) It's starting already! It's just amazing how a full fledged complex sibling relationship develops in such a short amount of time complete with it's highlights and problems. Overall though they find each other to be pretty neat and they like hanging out...






What a pair! I think they compliment each other nicely and if they stick together as they grow up, they'll be a team that can handle anything! :)
