2 months: Kaylin vs. Lauren

I've been wanting to compare some pictures of Kaylin and Lauren to see how alike or different they look now. Lauren had her two month check-up this week and she weighed 11 pounds and 14 ounces. I looked up Kaylin's stats and she weighed 9 pounds and 5 ounces at her 2 month check-up. Lauren weighs 2 1/2 pounds more than Kaylin did at this point! 2 1/2 pounds is a lot in the baby world. The difference in weight was the motivation I needed to find some pictures to compare.

Here they are in their blessing dress. Both girls were blessed when they were almost exactly 2 months old. They were both 9 weeks.

These are their 2 month pictures. Notice I was smarter this time and Lauren is holding a sign with her age. I was getting confused looking through Kaylin's pictures trying to figure out which picture was the "real" ___ month picture, not that it matters all that much since all of my pictures are in folders by month.

So, what do you think? I think they look NOTHING alike, which I'm happy about. I am hoping that my kids won't all look the same (not to offend anyone whose kids do look alike... it's just the luck of the genetic draw and some people prefer it that way anyway). I also think the 2 1/2 pounds make a huge difference. Lauren's face is so much chubbier, and you can't tell from the picture, but her legs are a lot bigger than Kaylin's too. We'll see what happens as they get older.

Both girls are cute but I don't think they look alike. You will have to keep posting pictures to compare.

I can't believe the weight difference. That does make a huge difference at this age. I can see some similarities in them, but they definitely have different looks. So fun!

Lauren weighs about the same as Macey did at 2 months! You gotta love chubby babies.

The only resemblance I can really see between the 2 is their ears. They definitely don't look as similar as Mies and Macey do.

Well, count me as offended, because I think it is cute when kids look alike!

Wow. I knew Lauren was fat, but seriously Bri, what are you feeding her? There's a family resemblance, but they don't really look alike at all. I just can't believe Kaylin was such a skinny mini, and Lauren- let's say she's bootilicious. I love her chubby cheeks and legs, though I'm partial to those anyways. I think it'd be fun to keep posting both so we can see the difference!

ok, looking at the pictures again, I say Kaylin looks like Eric, which I think she's his twin, and Lauren looks like you. I don't know what it is- the nose, the eyes... hopefully you'll have your twin in Lauren.

What a fun comparison!

Carolyn said she hardly cries at all, or when she does, it's very soft. Lauren is so pretty. :)
