Brothers

We’ve been trying to figure out if Ryan looks like Bennett did when he was born. I definitely think he looks similar, but there are differences too. Ryan’s hair seems lighter than Bennett’s did, but his eyes seem darker to me – I think they’ll probably turn brown like mine or hazel like Nate’s. They were both decent-sized babies – Bennett was 8 lbs 15 oz, 22.5” long, and Ryan was 8 lbs 10 oz. and 21” long. Here are some pictures of Ryan (on the left) and Bennett (on the right) at the same age.

So far, Bennett seems to be handling everything ok. The other day Ryan was in his bouncy seat and Bennett went over and laid on his belly right in front of Ryan and just looked at him. Unfortunately, our cameras weren’t nearby and he moved by the time we got them, but right after he put all his doggies (and other animals that he likes to take to bed with him) with Ryan in the seat. Hopefully that’s a sign that he’ll be willing to share his toys :)

They do look a lot alike! But definitely have their own unique look too. I love the picture with all of the animals. :)

Solid leaving the animals for the little brother.

Oh my goodness, that's so sweet. I love the photo with all Bennett's dogs in the bouncy seat with the baby!
