Differences I notice about Evie...

...from my other babies.  I find myself comparing all of my babies to the other ones.  I think Evie takes the cake for the most differences.

1.  She would "stand" in your lap since 1 month, whereas the others would collapse until they were over 6 mos.
2.  Strawberry blond hair as opposed to white blond or dirty blond (could be either dirt or actual color)
3.  Petite build
4.  Can role from back to front AND front to back before a year and she's only 8 months.
5.  Slept through the night earlier than any of the other three as babies.
6.  Whereas I always thought all our babies were cute and beautiful right from the beginning, Max seems to give Evie more compliments on being cute in the infant stage.  Normally to him, all babies are ugly before about 2 years old.  I wonder if that is more due to Evie being our last...
7. Small feet
8.  Evie got her bottom teeth at 3-4 months like the others, but no sign of her top teeth yet.
9.  Very easy to make smile (like the others), but challenging to get a laugh out of her.

Similarities...
1. First teeth in the first 3-4 months
2. Blonde hair, blue eyes
3. Roles of chub
4. Gloria and Evelyn both have dimples
5. Gloria and Evelyn were both almost 2 weeks late...maybe it's a girl thing.
6. All pretty much happy, smiley, and easy-going...God knew that's what I could handle:)

Okay, so there aren't that many apparent differences between the babies at the Bremer home (as our friend, Dr Maxwell, has said of our family, "God used the same mold for each of our babies and never threw it away" ...another way of saying we don't have a lot of gene variety, maybe?). But moms notice the subtle differences...

I may add to the list of differences and similarities as time goes on...

Yes, they look like they were cut out of the same mold. So cute to see them all around the same age!
