The Differences Between Your First Child and Second Child as Told by GIFs

First child: all of the bells and whistles from wrapped presents to specially made videos — anything to shock and surprise everyone.

Second Child: just blurt it out there so you can start eating tubs of ice cream in front of everyone without judgment.

First Child: "OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST NEWS WE'VE EVER HEARD EVER."

Second Child: "Oh another one? Congrats."

First child: you invite everyone you've ever met and the joy in the room is palpable.

Second child: this time around, maybe not so much excitement.

First child: you choose paint colors, you get curtain swatches, artwork is ordered from Etsy, and it's all a great time.

Second child: hand-me-downs will be a thing, and that old floral wallpaper in the office will have to do.

First child: you might need a flashlight and some dishwasher detergent, who knows?!

Second child: yeah, you're good to go.

First child: you probably want to sit with your child because you don't trust car seats. Even if you're both exhausted, at least you're near the baby.

Second child: I just want to get this kid home and get back to our Netflix binge.

(NOTE: Car seats should ALWAYS be strapped in according to instructions, not just placed on a seat as seen here!)

First child: there is no doubt this will include lots and lots of hand sanitizer.

Second child: yes, please hold my child. Forever.

First child: have mercy! What is that smell?!

Second child: come at me, bro.

First child: make it stop! Make it stoppppppp!

Second child: yeah, just cry it out, kiddo.

First child: everything is organic, baby doctor approved, and, most importantly, on a clean high chair that is sanitized between every use.

Second: yeah . . . at least the kid's eating.

First child: you can't get enough, you want to hold them and coo at them and wave toys in front of them all day.

Second child: "go play with your toys in the playroom, mommy needs a break."
