Big sister



People keep asking how Bin is reacting to being a big sister. I think she is doing remarkably well, considering. She does get a bit annoyed with the screaming and she had some problems at tumbling and school, but with the baby, she is very helpful. She does keep correcting daddy when he says "little girl." It is little baby. She looses interest in Lil pretty quickly, but when she is around Lil, she is sweet. She wants to give Lil stuff and make her laugh and she wants Lil to come with her everywhere. I think that Bin is at the age when little girls want to be mommies and so Lil is kind of like a big doll. And Bin wants another baby now- this time a boy. She says grandma agrees. Too bad mom and dad don't.

Lil and Bin





Telling pics of the girls apart should be pretty easy. Bin is bald, Lil has hair. :) I like hair.

I have been very surprised by how different the two girls seem even at not even a month old. Lil loves to eat and wants to be held all the time. Bin hated eating, had a horrible time latching on and would eat 5 minutes every 4-6 hours (versus every 2-3 hours for like 15-45 minutes). Lil also seems to be colder while Bin was a little heating block. So, Lil needs to be kept wrapped up a lot more than Bin. Lil loves the swing and is there all the time. She hates the blue bouncer (pic immediately above shows Bin in it) and won't take a pacifier. Lots of little differences. I think it is easier to view Lil as an individual and not just lump because of how different she is compared to Bin. With Bin, everything was just baby behavior but with Lil it is like, not just baby stuff, but Lil specific baby stuff.
