alpharaposaThe baby cub hits 4 months tomorrow. He's wearing 12 month size clothes already, which is even faster than the older cub reached that size. Then again, the older cub had reflux problems until he was about 6 months, which probably limited his ability to pack on pounds.
I'm actually kind of worried he'll outgrow his infant seat before he gets to be a year old.
I would lay odds that the baby cub is a budding extravert. He loves people. He demands attention and will be happy and giggly if you're paying attention to him even if he's worn out. The two werecubs love each other. There's been some jealousy regarding my lap from the older cub, but otherwise I've been amazed and pleased at how they dote on each other. The baby will look specifically for his older brother sometimes, just as clearly as those times when he obviously wants me. I think one of the sweetest things I've ever seen is the older cub bending down, saying, "Wuv you," and giving the baby a kiss.
I've been working with the older cub regarding personal space. It's rough to share mommy time between two werecubs who eat and drink attention. He seems to understand space with strangers these days, folding his arms when introduced, but mommy is often treated as his own personal habitat. I suppose that's understandable, but it wears mommy out.
I suspect the older cub is an introvert, but one who has lots of confidence. Still early to be sure. I can't wait to see how these sweet boys grow.
