Yep, they're brothers!

So I keep finding more similarities between Ethan and Eli. (And Eli is only 6 weeks old). I thought it would be kinda fun to write them down...
At this age, they both:
1)Won't take a binky no matter how many different kinds that I try
2)Prefer to sleep on their tummies (yes... huge no-no... I know)
3)Dislike riding in their carseat, most likely because of reason #2
4)Love to be carried in the baby bjorn and almost instantly fall asleep in it
5)Aren't big snugglers- they want to just be put in their crib and fall asleep on their own
6)Lost all their hair on top of their head around 4 weeks old
7)Great eaters!!!
8)Have a cowlick at the exact same spot on their forehead
9)Dislike being swaddled and wiggle out of their blanket if I swaddle them
10)Look more alike than I originally thought. (Except that Eli is dark and Ethan is light.)


Eli- about 4 weeks old

Ethan- about 3 weeks old


Eli- 4 weeks old



Ethan- 2 or 3 weeks old
So it will be interesting to see as if they become more alike or different as they grow up. Some of their differences so far:
1)Ethan cried more during the day but slept better at night by this age
2)Eli took to the water like a little fish and Ethan only tolerated baths for a long time
3)Eli is better at napping during the day (probably the reason he doesn't sleep as well at night)
4)Ethan gave more smiles by this age
5)Eli is more calm and patient, especially when it comes to waiting for food
Anyhow, they are both such sweethearts! It's fun to compare their unique personalities though.

Wow, yes they looked even more alike as babies. I loved your lists. It is fun to see how they are alike and different. Olivia doesn't cry near as much as Luke did so having 2 here isn't too hard except I never feel like I can take both of them somewhere in the car, like to the store. Maybe one day.

So I think they are TWINS!! They look so alike in those pictures!!! It'll be interesting to see what Eli looks like as he gets older.
