??? Who’s who ???

Here are Riley’s and Lincoln’s pictures when they were both 5 months old. You be the judge on whether they look alike:

I know people say “never compare your children”…well, I’m going to anyways. Some ways on how they were alike and different as babies:

1. Ri was cholicy from the minute she was born until about 7 weeks old. Lincoln almost never cries.

2. Riley was very high-maintenance, I even had to strap her into the Baby Bjorn to do the dishes some days. Lincoln is happy and content just watching and playing with himself.

3. We rocked Riley to sleep until she was 8 months old (for ALL of her naps and bedtime). Lincoln just lays in his crib and falls asleep on his own; we’ve never even had to let him “cry it out”.

4. Riley slept in her car seat until she was 4 months old because she wouldn’t sleep on her back (and I was too paranoid to let her sleep on her belly). Lincoln has slept in his crib from day 1 on his back.

5. They are similar in the fact that they both took 4-45 minute naps a day and had a bed time of 9:00.

6. They were both chunky babies to begin with, then Riley “stopped growing” at 4 months and Lincoln has kept it up :). Riley weighed 13 lbs. at 3 months and 15 1/2 lbs. at 1 year. Lincoln is 5 months and is around 17 lbs. already.

7. Lincoln rolls over A LOT more than Riley ever did, but Riley did it at an earlier age (3 months).

8. Both have Ty’s squinty eyes and big smile–although, Lincoln’s eyes are brown and Riley’s are blue .

9. Lincoln seems much more social and outgoing yet laidback than Riley did when she was a baby. She was clingy and much more shy and still is to this day (although she’s getting better).

I’ll update this more when things come to me and as Lincoln gets older. It’s hard to compare them during their first 6 months of life. 🙂

So…who’s who?? (I know, it’s probably pretty obvious for a few reasons :).)
