That&#8217;s what I find myself thinking sometimes &#8211; especially when comparing her little life to Zoe&#8217;s as a baby. Things for Avery are way more chaotic than they ever were for Zoe: it seems like she&#8217;s always around loud talking\/singing\/crying, and she&#8217;s often poked, prodded and squeezed &#8211; especially when she&#8217;s eating. (For some reason, Zoe loves to come &#8220;see&#8221; Avery when she&#8217;s enjoying her milk.) She also doesn&#8217;t get our sole attention like Zoe did as a baby; I feel like much of Avery&#8217;s time is spent on the sidelines, watching us interact with her much more high-maintenance sister.<\/p>\n<p>Though I feel bad that Avery isn&#8217;t in a more tranquil environment and doesn&#8217;t get as much one-on-one time with us as I&#8217;d like, she&#8217;s still a pretty happy baby (and she obviously doesn&#8217;t know what she&#8217;s missing). Q and others also point out that she&#8217;s <em>lucky<\/em> to have something Zoe never did: a built-in playmate. And the truth is, Avery doesn&#8217;t really seem to mind the attention she gets from Zoe; like a good little sister, she pretty much lets Zoe do whatever she wants!<\/p>\n<p>-M<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/?attachment_id=3460\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3460\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Avery-and-Zoe-playing.JPG\" alt=\"Avery and Zoe playing\" title=\"Avery and Zoe playing\" width=\"392\" height=\"294\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3460\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Avery-and-Zoe-playing.JPG 392w, http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Avery-and-Zoe-playing-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/?attachment_id=3461\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3461\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Avery-and-Zoe-playing2.JPG\" alt=\"Avery and Zoe playing2\" title=\"Avery and Zoe playing2\" width=\"392\" height=\"294\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3461\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Avery-and-Zoe-playing2.JPG 392w, http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Avery-and-Zoe-playing2-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poor Avery.
