Bittersweet Milestones

Audrey, our 10 month old, is developing very normally so far.  In fact, she is ahead of schedule on a lot of things.  She walks well, and is now trying to bounce on our little trampoline and dance - 2 things that Matt still doesn't do.  She can climb halfway up the slide in our backyard - Matt just figured this out a few months ago.  It really hit me hard today when she very carefully and gingerly stabbed 3 different cubes of avocado and put them in her mouth.  There was no intense concentration and forceful missed stabs and tears like we still see with Matthew.  It just seemed like the most natural thing in the world to her.  I know you are not supposed to compare your kids, but it's hard not to when your 10 month old is starting to pass your 46 month old on certain skills.  I don't want Matthew to feel more frustrated when he sees his baby sister doing things he struggles to do.  Hopefully it will just encourage him to keep working hard.
