First gets more

I have a million pictures of a baby Parker, which are all nicely put together in a photo album. I shared them with family and friends every third, sixth, ninth, twelfth, and eighteenth month. I even have all significant and non-significant events of his first 3 years recorded in his baby book.

I have a decent amount of pictures of Macy, which are not even all printed yet. She has a photo album, but there is not a single photo in it. I have gotten her picture taken professionally when she was 9 months and shared them with immediate family only. And her baby book has more holes than swiss cheese in it.

I know this isn't some crazy phenomenon. The first child always gets more. There was just more time to focus all my attention, love and energy on one child. There was more time to fill in the details of his baby book. More time for everything.

Even though Macy might be getting the shaft in her pictures and baby book, one thing's for sure, she gets just as much love as her brother did, and that's really all that matters.
