Hand me downs

Having another boy as our second child has definitely been good for our wallets.  Poor Sawyer hasn't seen too many new things, as his mother is very frugal and has no problem using Colin's hand-me-downs.  Some things you would use no matter the gender, such as this booster chair. 

It doesn't seem possible that the boys are about the same age in these 2 pictures.  I feel like Colin looks like a giant compared to Sawyer and he looks older too.  Sawyer can wear those clothes though, so I guess he's similar in size.  While I see some resemblance, I feel like they are starting to have their own, separate looks now.  I'm pretty sure Colin had his 2 bottom teeth in the picture but Sawyer still has none.

And on a totally unrelated note, notice the lighting differences in the 2 pictures?  I'm sure the first one was shot on automatic because that's all I used back then.  The second one, while still not fantastic, is much lighter and brighter.

    that is so neat you have pictures of them in the same chair to compare. I think Colin looks bigger too. and I love Sawyer's super blonde hair!

    I love love love comparisons between kids! If I had more time, I'd do it all the time for my kids!! I think we have the same booster but in different colors. And I love you pointed out how your photography has changed! YAY!!

    wow, what a difference! Sawyer looks so big sitting up in that chair though! hey, there is nothing wrong with hand me downs, my aunt had 3 girls in a row and you wouldn't even know the first two wore the outfits... plus with all that money you save you can buy a little something special for yourself :)

    Okay...I have been toying with the idea of getting a fancier camera, but I haven't yet because of money and honestly, when do I have time to learn how to use one? But seriously, those two shots might have just convinced me. Looks like the camera shopping is on! (I will gladly accept any tips you might have.)

    I love this comparison! Sawyer does look so much smaller--maybe it's the angle? I think you've also just convinced me that a nicer camera is probably worth it..

    I think you should put Sawyer in the jeans and t-shirt and snap another photo, then compare. It's too hard to see when one is in a sleeper and the other one is in "little man" clothing : )

    And, I totally thought they'd be twins after seeing the birth pictures, but definitely not now. They are both adorable, however!!!
