Top 10 Differences between Ian and Tory:
10. Ian poops once a day, in the morning. Tory poops in the morning, then again early in the afternoon, and sometimes early in the evening too.
9. Tory likes bouncing more than Ian. He gets more out of the bouncing stationary entertainer. He loves watching Abbie bounce, though Ian likes it too. I’m discovering that throwing Abbie on the bed and making her jump for their entertainment is a great way to keep all three children occupied.
8. Ian falls back asleep when he wakes up too early from his nap; Tory does his best to stay awake. This is a major aggravation when it was Ian’s complaining that woke Tory in the first place.
7. Tory’s torticollis makes him tilt his head to his right when he’s not paying attention. It doesn’t seem too big of a deal, and hopefully it’ll be corrected before he starts walking in a circle.
6. Ian crosses his eyes a little when focusing on something close, like a relative hovering overhead, or a ball that Abbie just chucked in his direction.
5. Tory’s annoying spoon-feeding habit is letting the entire spoonful dribble out of his mouth. Ian’s annoying spoon-feeding habit is trying to grab the spoon on its way into his mouth.
4. Ian can briefly stand up in a bear-crawl position with his legs straight. Tory is still commando crawling across the floor, but he can move at alarming speeds.
3. When in an uncomfortable situation, Ian stays at complaining while Tory goes straight for meltdown. The exception is when I put them in high chairs so I can keep an eye on them while other family members eat; Ian is usually the one to meltdown while Tory just goes limp in hopes that it’ll be over sooner.
2. Tory spits up more. Not that Ian doesn’t spit up a lot, but Tory spits up even more. This is probably related to Tory’s insistence on eating more than Ian.
1. Ian weighs about three pounds less than Tory, and they look like there’s a three-pound difference between them.
