-How do you tell them apart?
-Can you already see a difference in their personalities?
Well...Kate looks more like me and has a personality more like mine. She has a longer face and has my ears. Olivia looks more like Robbie, especially her eyes. She has more of a bulldog face. Another easy way to tell them apart is Kate is heavier and longer.

KATE is such a sweet, patient, calm, giggly, observant baby. She loves to stare at anyone and everyone. She is a connector! When I talk to her, she looks right at me and smiles. She gives away smiles so freely. She makes lots of cooing noises and laughs more frequently than her sister. She has the saddest little cry, but she don’t use it that often. Every time she wakes up, she's happy! She loves studying her hands and anything we put in her hands. She's getting really good at holding on to things. Her favorite toy is her pink ball. She's a snuggler. She spits up a couple times a day and is big into drooling. She constantly has her hands in her mouth (both of them). The second we unswaddle her, her hands go straight to her mouth. We call her our little sweetheart. Her eyes get really big whenever she gets startled or excited, and often those big eyes are accompanied by kicking her legs. During tummy time, she likes to just lay there and relax. She loves being rubbed! When she eats, she strokes her head with her right hand. It’s the cutest thing in the world. She weighs more and is longer than her sister. She's our little chunker. When Olivia cries (which is pretty often), Kate will just stare at her and reach over to try and touch her.
OLIVIA is such a happy, funny, expressive, vocal baby. She's more small and petite, but her dynamic personality makes up for that. When she smiles, it’s the cheesiest little smile and her whole face gets involved. She smiles very easily. Her eyes get squinty and it’s the cutest thing. When she's uncomfortable or hungry, she lets us know! Her cry is super loud and she uses it pretty frequently. Sometimes she gets so worked up that she does this growling cry that is pretty crazy. But taking her outside calms her down because there’s so much to see. She LOVES to look around and take everything in. She get distracted easily. When people try to get her to look at them, she looks everywhere but at them. Recently, she's been sticking her tongue out all the time and mouth breathing. She often fights being swaddled and put down for a nap or bedtime, but after a minute of fighting, she's out like a light. She makes the funniest faces. When she wakes up, she quickly realizes she's hungry or alone and immediately starts crying. She likes having one or two fingers in her mouth. She likes it when we rub her face, and often gets really calm and relaxed. She is a mover and constantly knocks her bottle out of her mouth. She loves to push her feet up against things and try to move.
They both give huge smiles on the changing pad, sit up so well in their bumbos, love standing, love being sung to and read to, hate sitting to be burped (so we often burp them standing up), and are both incredibly loved and adored.
