Healthy competition

When we found out we were having a boy and a girl, I breathed a little sigh of relief. I thought that with one of each, there would be much less competition and comparison (than if we had two girls or two boys--who's cuter, who's taller, who goes on more dates, blah, blah). I never thought that A and I would be actually be creating competition for these babies. For example, a pretend conversation between the babies that we made up last week:

N: I can roll over from front to back.
A2: So what--have you seen my chin rolls? I've got at least a pound on you, sister.
N: Whatever. I'm just watching my girlish figure.
A2: And have you seen me eat? I finish a whole bottle in the time it takes you to eat two ounces!
N: Please. I've already got everyone charmed with my flirtatious smiles.
A2: Have you heard me laugh? I've got belly laughs that would outcharm your smiles any day...

Thankfully, A2 rolled over today, a whole week and a half after his sister. Phew. We were starting to worry he'd be woefully behind her in development. :) :) :)

Poor kids--they've got crazies for parents.
