We are surprised at how quickly Emily is growing! At her 6 week appointment, she weighed in at 10.5lbs. Which is huge to us, Madelyn was 4 months old before she weighed that much! But we realize that Madelyn was a shrimp and Emily is normal. I hate comparing the two, but the differences are amazing. They are both healthy, happy, fun girls.
We're convinced that if Emily's cheeks get much bigger - they'll POP!
Check 'em out:
Madelyn went through a phase of starting out giving nice gentle kisses and touches to Em, then she'd quickly morph into "Monster Madelyn" and her soft touch turned into a strong tug that pulled her across the floor. We'd respond with "Madelyn don't do that, be nice!" Well that just made it worse. So we played a little reverse psychology and decided that we wouldn't even recognize that and just say "Oh, you're so nice to your sister, you love her" and just shower her with praise...she plays us, so why can't we play her??? It's working - not a "Monster Madelyn" moment in a week! (with Emily anyway, Monster Madelyn shows her face at least once a day in some way) She LOVES to hug her and give kisses.
