Tonight I was thinking about what ways Em and Lily are the same, and how they're different, so I thought it would be kind of fun to write them down. So, here we go! Most of it I wrote in the present text. Just easier that way.
The Same:
They're both happy! Emily was always so happy, dispite all her challenges. And Lily is the same. Like today-she was in her stroller for 2 hours on a walk and was totally fine. I've had 2 girls with the best attitudes. Though Emily did learn how to throw temper tantrums-right on cue at age 2. And Lily has learned how, too.
They both love the words "Good Job." Emily woudl get so excited and smile and start talking when we'd clap and say "Good Job, Emily, especially after she'd done something big like go on the potty. Lily claps for herself.
Their hair-Lily and Emily's hair is EXACTLY the same color and texture, though Lily's has grown much more evenly then Em's did because she isn't wearing a hearing aid all the time. And they both have these little wavey curls. I love it. They also both like having their hair brushed.
When they sleep at night, they look the same. If Lily sleeps on her side, she looks just like Emily when we go in to check on her. It's so fun. Though most of the time Lily sleeps on her tummy with her bum in the air, or on her back with her hands behind her head, like her daddy.
They both seem to have bad teeth. We haven't taken Lily to the densist, but her bottom teeth don't look too hot.
They both have dimples.
They both have these cute tummys and NO hips.
They both LOVE music. Emily always loved listening to music, dancing, and singing songs, and so does Lily. She signs more whenever we sing or play the piano.
They both love to move. Em was the happiest rolling around on the ground, and Lily just runs from one thing to the next, and loves to be tossed, etc.
They both love their carseat. It's been the same carseat for both of them, and they both have done great in the car. Though Lily gets mad if it's dark and she can't see.
Their favorite breakfast food is scrambled eggs, though Emily liked them with ketchup or salsa, and Lily perfers them plain. They also both like chocolate, cupcakes, and sweet and sour meatballs.
They both like animals, especially dogs. They don't get this from their momma! (I like dogs fine, don't get me wrong). Emily would get big smiles petting a dog, and had no fear if one licked her, and Lily will tackle a dog and hug it if it will let her.
They both love getting into bed with us in the mornings, though Emily would cuddle with us and go back to sleep, and Lily thinks it's a great joke.
Neither one really has cared about the TV.
Different:
Emily LOVED to cuddle-she was the best at it. Lily, not so much, though she'll now give good hugs.
Emily was very much a Daddy's Girl, and Lily switches back and forth between Robby and I.
Emily LOVED bananas, and Lily is impartial at best.
Lily loves the wind and thinks it's funny, and Emily hated it.
Emily had daddy's legs and Lily has mommy's. :-)
Emily could fall asleep anywhere if she wanted to, and Lily has to be in her crib, though she'll sleep a bit in the car if she's really tired.
If you have any more things to share, I'd love to hear them!

That was a fun post to read. What a great idea! I just might steal it from you......
I loved reading this Camille. Thanks for posting it. It really is amazing how similar those two girls are.
They both could sign 'more',(I think) does that count? I can't remember if Lily signs finished, but if she does, I know Emily did! Ryan has been trying to get Akaila to do it, after watching Lily, he was quite impressed!
Cute, cute, cute!
