Big girls vs. babies

"Big girls don't need binkies.  Binkies are for babies."  I swear this phrase is said at least 20 times per day in our house.  We knew Sloane would revert back to doing some "baby" things once Hazel arrived.  But we didn't know it would be so hilarious. 

Sloane loves to be swaddled like her sister.  She doesn't get why the baby blankets aren't big enough to swaddle her.

She wants to have her diaper changed on the temporary changing station we've set up on the couch for Hazel.  She insists on having a stack of her diapers next the stack of newborn diapers there.  When her supply gets low she brings more out.  When I go from changing Hazel's diaper to changing Sloane's I feel like I'm changing the diaper of a 13 year old.  I swear she tripled in size overnight and seems HUGE next to her sister.

She doesn't understand why Hazel's "toys" are too small for her.  She loves the vibrating chair and would die of happiness if we'd let her get into the swing.  She'd spend all day playing and laying on Hazel's play mat if she could.

When it comes to the binkies she is like a crack fiend looking for her fix.  We try to keep them all out of reach but when she spots one she's at it in a flash to get as many sucks in before she hands it over.  She tries to be sneaky sometimes, "look over there mama," hoping that she can snag a binks behind our backs.  The smile on her face behind a binks (or sometimes two or three) is priceless.
