Hi JW, My oldest two are 19 months apart.... they would have been 21
months apart but my 2nd came 2 months early. They get along famously. I
do recall it was hard to have two "babies" for a while but fortunately
my oldest was a really easy toddler. I am only 14 months older than my
sister and when we were teenagers we got along very well and were each
others best friends in school. We are very close now. Good luck!
