Too cute. I love that little G wanted to do everything with his new sitser at first! So so sweet.

Interestingly, the biggest differences between our interactions with our daughter and our son stem around the fact that she is a much easier and much more laid back baby than Little G was. I don't think that has anything to do at all with their sex or gender; it just so happens that our more spirited child (up until this point) has been our son and our more gentile baby is our daughter.

Potentially because she is still very little and her personality is so-far just based on her reactions and interactions to input that is generally non-gender specific (eating, sleeping, pooping, crying, smiling), I haven't given much thought about any differences in our interactions with her or her brother as far as sex or gender comes into play.

As far as other's interactions they are surprisingly similar. Little G had a faux-hawk and frosted tips when he was born and Ladybug has thick, fuzzy, long black hair. So both of my children have received the same first impression comments from friends and strangers alike, "Look at that HAIR!!" is usually the first thing anyone says.

Very cute. And per the usual very thoughtfully done, especially the part where you consider comparing your two children. I was wondering if you've thought about the way in which gender has (if at all) impacted your reaction/thoughts/actions to your daughter in just these two short months. I think that totally adorable and refreshingly not pink outfit owl outfit made me think of this. In what, if any, ways do you see others interactions with her as different from her brother? How do you feel about this? I was just wondering if it's something you've thought about at all.
