Beautiful Differences

It is so awesome to sit back and look at the difference in personalities between Ally and Mya! They are pretty much night and day and have been since the very beginning!

Ally - didn't move much while I was pregnant with her. In fact, we did many non-stress tests and were hooked up to the fetal monitor to make sure she was ok!
Mya - kicked and rolled and moved and squirmed CONSTANTLY!

Ally - very mild tempered as a baby. Was sleeping through the night when she was approximately 3 weeks old. Fussy times were few and far between.
Mya - my little drama girl! Loved to be held and would definitely let you know when she was unhappy. I think she started sleeping through the night around 5 months...I was a little sleep deprived so I don't remember the exact date! :o)

Ally - more reserved and very much so a rule follower. Could tell her once not to do something and she never did it again.
Mya - believes that rules were made to be broken! I can tell her a million times not to do something and she goes right back for it.

Ally - definitely a little nurturer! She is very caring and concerned about others' needs and feelings.
Mya - free spirited and loves to be the life of the party! She loves to make people laugh.

My girls are so different, but those differences are absolutely beautiful!

I love you girls very much! I thank God daily for sharing you with me!

While we are on the topic...

Of second children, I have to express my amazement of how different my two girls are! They have been different from day one and by day one, I mean the day of conception! I was perfectly fine during my pregnancy with Ally. My pregnancy with Mya, nauseated daily for many months. I found myself in my Ob's office quite frequently with Ally because she would not move the "required" movements within a certain time. Mya, on the other hand, moved CONSTANTLY! Ally had a certain time, usually the evenings between 6 and 8pm, of fussiness. Her evening fussiness lasted approximately 3 months. Mya has felt the need to let her voice be heard much more! Her fussiness occurred frequently throughout the day and lasted well into 6 months. After that, she was fine! Ally liked to cuddle for a while but Mya LOVES it. She loves to be held, kissed and hugged. I soak up all of the extra loves I can get from her each day! Ally never climbed up on anything until she was probably 2 years old and was good at getting up onto a chair. Mya has already started climbing on chairs, tables, etc. Of course once she is up on a chair, she chooses to stand...not sit. She is quite the daredevil. It is amazing to watch my girls and discover more about their personalities. I love each difference that they have and I am sure there are many more differences to come! Here is a picture of my little sweeties!
