Cayden vs. Keenan

I cannot believe that these two children both came from Eric and me. Cayden and Keenan's personality are like night and day. From the time Cayden was born she was a laid back, easy going baby. She liked to sit in her bouncy or swing or lay on the floor and play. She didn't really like to be held, she'd rather do her own thing. When we did hold her, we always had to face her out so she could look around. She wasn't into snuggling. She was too busy exploring and watching everything. She rarely cried and constantly made noises, smiled/laughed, babbled.

Keenan is a whole different child. He's more high strung. He smiles often too but we work hard for those smiles most times (although that makes them more rewarding). He cries a lot. Just when he's been so good for a few days and we think he's done with the crying phase it starts all over again. He loves to be held and is happiest in our arms snuggled against us. The thing he likes best are these big black/white/red flower pictures we have in our t.v. room. He will stare at them and coo for so long. Apparently they are much more exciting than any baby toy he owns.

As far as whether or not they look alike changes all the time. When Keenan was born (in the hospital) he looked a lot like Cayden. It was like staring in the same face. Within a few days he started to look different, only similar to Cayden not identical. Now he looks like his own person. Sometimes he looks a bit like her pictures, sometimes nothing like them at all. When Cayden was a baby she looked so much like me. At least I thought so and that's what everyone always said. With Keenan I think he looks like Eric.

Here they both are at 3 months old :)
