Have any of you ever had infants get jealous of each other? I’ve got two infants that began the same day that are 5 weeks apart in age but one of them has developed quickly and the other very slowly. Recently, one baby began crawling and standing up. The other baby just learned how to roll over and can’t sit up without full assistance. I feel like the non mobile baby is becoming increasingly jealous of the freedom to roam that the mobile baby now has. They are 7 and 8 months old. Anyone experienced this before and if so, is there anything I can do to help the non mobile baby not be jealous?

My regular rate is $175. :: ::
It's amazing how many people will reply with something like "Oh, that is awesome! Thank you!"
I actually have one family in care right now that "thinks" they are getting a discount. (they're not) and since I don't raise rates on current families, they can't really compare to what other families are paying as everyone enrolled at different times.
