How quickly do they learn to antagonize their younger siblings?
5 months
This is a scientific fact. At just under 5 months, Zesty figured out that if he tells Pinky "NO!" in the car, she will pucker up her face and bawl. She will, however, stop crying with soothing words from Momma.
And then he will say "NO!" She will cry again.
Lather, rinse, repeat, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum.
It's a good thing they also both sit on my lap and laugh hysterically at each other. I'd really hoped that the fighting in the backseat wouldn't start for at least another year, but apparently my son is ALL BOY and isn't perfect.

I'm actually surprised it took this long. BUT then I raised you and Sica.
There are times when siblings aren't civil. Been there, done that. Nearly every gray hair on my head has your, or your sister's, name on it.
I hear you. Loud and full of baby screeching noises. In our house it is the reverse. Terence will let Caleb do almost anything to him. Caleb thinks it is the funniest thing in the world to pull Terence's hair. And all Terence does, is to say very gently "No Baby, no pull Baby, pwease, no Baby". (All the while their mother is laughing hysterically about the "sibling love"!) And if Caleb decides that today is not the day for Terence to come near him, he has a specific yell that he just keeps yelling until someone comes to rescue him from the big, bad brother who just hugs him and gently asks him not to pull his hair. Ahhh ... life is interesting!! :)
