Different yet similar
Happy 6 week birthday beautiful Alyse!
I have had a lot of fun over the past weeks thinking about what similarities and differences our girls have expressed already. The most obvious differences were their hair color and birth weight: 6lb 14oz vs 9lbs 1oz. I learned today Alyse just may favor the sling where as Adelyn loved the Bjorn. I only used it once with Adelyn because she enjoyed the bjorn so much and I liked how it was so secure to me. Alyse hasn't shown the bjorn as much favor so I broke out the sling today and sure enough she settled right down and went off to dream land. Funny side note on that...I had Alyse in the swing in the kitchen while I was getting the sling figured out and Adelyn was upstairs playing. A few minutes after I had Alyse secured Adelyn looked over the railing and asked "where did Sister go?" It amazes me how observant she is. Of course she thought it was pretty funny I had her sister in the sling on me and she had to 'look at her' about 10 times.
Now that the initial 'shock' of entering the world has worn off Alyse has shown many similarities to her big sis in her need and love for being held. I might go so far as to say she may be even more demanding then Adelyn was. If you don't have her just the way she wants to be held she will let you know loud and clear! So far some favorites of hers include kicking on the changing table, being held so she can see over your shoulder, and having her soft blanket rubbed on her cheek and head. If those don't work you can bet she gets passed back to mom pretty quickly :)
Some times I look at Alyse and I see so much of Adelyn. She makes a lot of the same facial expressions. Yet at the same time I can look at her and think she looks totally different. It is a mystery how that can be possible. I am looking forward to watching them grow and seeing how much the do end up being similar.
Adelyn is the 1st photos and Alyse is 2nd
I was surprised at how much Adelyn actually looks like Alyse in this photo.
Both girls at about 2 weeks old

It honestly seems like Adelyn was that little just a week ago. And 6 weeks already for Alyse? I hope to get to see her many times in the near future before she grows up as quickly as Addie did. :)
That was a great post. I very much enjoyed reading it and Shan those girls have an amazing woman role model to look up to!
I love you guys.
I agree, what a great post and awesome pics to compare. they are so much alike, just one has lighter features and the other has darker. i can see more yuhala side in Alyse. Is she a good sleeper yet for you?
