I always said I would not let this happen, BUT it's true what they say: When you have a 2nd (or 3rd or 4th, etc.) baby you are not as likely to take as many pictures, videos, etc of that baby. I have actually been pretty good about the picture part. We have as many pictures of Jagger at this point than we did of Malone. However, I do NOT have nearly as much video. When Malone was born I video taped her about every week or so when she was little and then about every month until her first birthday. Well, I'm ashamed to say that Jagger is 4 months old and I just now took time to get some video of him. I am already so mad at myself that I don't have any of him at the younger, newborn stage, but I can't change that now. I just need to go from this point on and get some sweet video of him to watch in later years. Malone's video from her baby stage already makes me cry because I can't believe she is growing up so fast.
Like I said, I've been pretty good about pictures. We had his 3 month pictures and I recently got a 16x20 framed and hung beside Malone's 3 month picture. They look so good in our dining room. At first I thought Jagger was Malone's identical twin that was born 3 years later, but his 3 month picture looks so different from Malone's that I am rethinking that. :)
Last week, I took Jagger to get his hand and foot prints painted on a piece of pottery. I want to have those precious pieces of just him, like I have some that are just Malone's. One day soon, I would like to have a piece of pottery with both of their prints on it, but I want them both to have their own special pieces and know that I cherished them as individuals, regardless of whether they were born first or second.
