A Comparison: Newborn

I thought it would be fun to compare Jacinta to pictures of Veronica at the same age. So take a look. In what ways do they look alike, and in what ways are they different? Hair color is an obvious one.

Jacinta, two days after birth

Paul says Veronica's nose and mouth were wider, and I tend to agree with that assessment.

Jacinta, 4 days after birth

Now I can't be quite certain yet, but while Veronica has always had dimples, Jacinta doesn't seem to have them. She's had a couple of sleep smiles and so far they are absent. So we'll be paying attention to that when she starts to smile on her own.

I'll try to remember to keep doing comparisons as Jacinta gets older. It's kind of fun to see the similarities and differences between the two of them. It really is amazing to consider the possibilities when a baby is born!
