Bluetooth and I have been lucky enough to receive our baby books from our moms. Now the baby books are great for two things. To look back in absolute wonder that at one time we were both this young and to make me feel guilty about how poor bugaboo's baby book is. Sure, I put the facts on the line where the question is asked but sadly I'm terrible at the anecdotes in the margins. The funny stories that mean so much. The cute girl/mom thing that I am supposed to do. Luckily I have two people in my family that scrapbook and will hopefully help me to hide this woefully inadequate gene of mine.
Bluetooth at 2 and 3/4 months weighed 13 lbs and was 23 inches. This is what bugaboo was at 6 weeks. But at 4 weeks Bluetooth was the exact same weight and length as Bugaboo at birth.
I started out bigger then Bluetooth but smaller than Bugaboo but at 3 and 1/2 months I weighed 13 lbs and was 25 1/2 inches. I guess we know who the big eaters are in the family.
At 3 months my mom wrote that by 6 weeks I slept throughout the night almost consistently and by 3 months always slept throughout the night but was an alarm clock at 6 a.m.. Meaning Bugaboo is behind and I'm still an early riser.
Bluetooth's mom wrote at 3 months, started rolling from tummy to back at 3 and 1/2 weeks and continued to do so. Very active and alert and awake much of the time. enjoys lying on the floor and playing. By 2 months followed daddy, Justin and mommy with eyes. coos, smiles and laughs at 2 months and loves to "converse". By 2 and 1/2 months can really scream if wanting attention. Basically a happy baby with quite a will of his own.
Bugaboo is much the same. He did not roll as soon as his dad but he likes to sleep like his mom. He loves to eat and when it is time it is time. He will yell at me like an angry little monkey if I am not fast enough. Sometimes, I'm afraid to say, I find it funny to make him wait. He just looks right at me and gives me the riot act in his little chatter. From day one Bugaboo followed people with his eyes and has always been very alert. Mostly a happy baby but not a patient baby. Wonder where he got that from?
He is an absolute joy and we are the luckiest parents in the world.

You are so lucky that you BOTH have baby books.
Being the 4th child - I have a few photos slapped into a photo book and that is pretty much it.
