Catch up (again)

Samuel is 7 weeks old today! It's unreal to say the least. I love that he's becoming more social and giving us smiles daily now. I know it's wrong to compare the kids, but I'm going to. Eleanor hardly made cooing sounds at this age. Of course Brian and I were terrified that there was something wrong with her. Obviously there isn't since I'm sitting here listening to her sing and talk to her animals as she's supposed to be napping. Sam has proven to be the opposite of his big sister. He's quite the talker for such a little guy. We'll see if he'll be able to get a word in before his big sister when he's older. Doubt it.

Eleanor continues to be a super big sister. She's never shown the slightest bit of jealousy - wait...one time she got mad and said I was her mommy and not Sam's, but other than that... - and she's always so concerned about what he's doing or that he's crying. Today when we were getting ready to go to play group, she touched his face and asked him if he wanted to come with us. So sweet! He gets plenty of kisses from her, too.

Eleanor has also mastered the words to many songs lately, including The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Ring Around the Rosy, Row Your Boat, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and the ABCs. It's so fun to sing along with her!
