Noelle is 5 months old today. So I will dedicate today's post to my littlest angel. Noelle is the only girl, and honestly, I was terrified to give birth to her because I had no idea what to expect. But she has been the biggest blessing to our family, and I can't believe I was actually afraid of my little drooling ball of fluff at one point. But she is completely different from her brothers, I was right to think that it would be a completely different experience.
This list is not based on any facts; it's honestly, just a comparison between my two boys and my girl.
1. Noelle is sweeter. My sweet girl gives kisses. She drools all over my face, and she pulls my face to hers constantly.
2. Noelle is calmer than her brothers were. She squeals and screams all day long, but she's not aggressive like the boys were. She's a different type of crazy.
3. My girl needs more attention. Okay, maybe, we did this to her. But she basically enjoys being looked at. Literally, she wants you to just stare at her, while she does nothing. She has big brothers that kiss her feet, a mom who totes her around, and a daddy who picks her up anytime she makes a cute face... Her need for attention is totally our fault. 
4. The clinginess is real in this one! My sons were true momma's boy. Skyland could not stand for me to leave him, he'd kick, scream, hit, etc. And Azariah would let me leave but he was not happy about it if I wasn't back in time for his nap/bedtime. That's when he'd let it all out! I thought for sure, Noelle was going to be more independent. But this baby literally grabs me by the face whenever we're out, just to keep other people from holding her. And I have to be in eyesight if she does let someone other than her daddy or I hold her.
5. She sounds so different. A girly giggle, a girly squeal, a girly coo, and even her cry lets you know she's a girl. She's all girl. Her high-pitched voice alone informs you of that.
6. Noelle looks more like her daddy than Skyland and Azariah. Skyland looks like Daddy; Azariah looks kind of like me if you wiggle your nose, stick your tongue out, and squint. But Noelle got features that the boys did not. She's her daddy's twin with her light colored hair and beautiful baby blues. She's got his chin, lips, ears, and complexion. She's got my nose. That's it. I complained about the boys, and this little girl looks more like her daddy than they do.
7. Noelle stinks and she likes it. My little funky girl may not have the worst smelling diapers. But she enjoys drooling milk into her neck crevices to get her that tang of spoiled milk. She gets mad when you clean her and takes the first opportunity to achieve her much-loved neck funk. On top of that, her pee smells like pee. Never dealt with that one before, but since I'm her mom: I, oddly, find all her scents adorable ... Daddy does not.
8. She makes weird sounds. My little girl makes sounds similar to birds and piglets when she's bored. Her brother's only made general baby sounds. Not Noelle, she has to go the extra mile and make you wonder when a pigeon got in the house.
Noelle is crazy, beautiful, smart, and fun just like her big brothers, but she is a completely different individual. How do your girls differ from your boys?
