8 Weeks Old

  Wow!!! Talk about how time flies!!! Harry is now over 8 weeks old now and it just feels like yesterday that he was born!!  We have had our 6-8 week check ups with the GP and Harry and I are doing well and Harry had his first lot of vaccinations, which he didn't like but didn't cry for too long!!!
​  Even now I'm still seeing differences in my experiences with Richie and Harry.  I'm surprised at how quickly Harry is growing- he is putting weight on like a champ and therefore filling his clothes nicely, has great head control and is smiling and cooing too.  I'm not sure if it was because Richie was premature or if its just because its been two and a half years since Richie was a baby, but I don't remember Richie developing like this at Harry's age.  I'm still feeling like Harry is my first baby- as Richie was prem its all we know so getting used to full term baby milestones is taking its time.
​  As most mothers do, I saved some of Richies clothes as hand me downs for Harry.  And this week, Harry wore one of Richies onesies and it made me realise just how small Richie was when he was a baby.  I have photos of Richie wearing it when he was around 5 months of age and Harry is wearing it and he isn't even 2 months old yet!!! 
  It just amazes me that the boys can be so similar and yet so different!! Can anyone else relate?? Are your kids complete opposites, very similar or both??
