On Friday I had the opportunity to catch up with a friend from high school and we were able to meet her new daughter Casey. I had a great time talking to another new mom about all of the changes in our lives. The kids seemed to enjoy their time together as well. There was a lot of drooling, big smiling, babies chattering, toy sharing, and some sleeping too.
Brandy and I reconnected during our pregnancies when we realized our due dates were so close. Jack was due November 3 and Casey was due on the 12th. The kids had different ideas about when they wanted to show up. They swapped due dates when Casey arrived 9 days early and Jack came 9 days late. See, they were good at sharing even before they were born.
Casey is a mover. She was rolling over, grabbing for toys, bouncing up and down on her feet, and wiggling everywhere. It was amazing to watch since Jack is such a relaxed baby. I joked with Jack that he should take advantage of our time with Casey and learn how to roll over. Shortly after my comment, he did just that. He rolled over! While Casey was in front of him he rolled over again and again. Since she has left the rolling has stopped. Hmm... What does this say about Jack? Is he going to be stubborn like me? Will he enjoy a good challenge just like his father? Was he doing this just to impress a girl? We'll have to wait and see.
