Surely this exchange tells us that either:
(a) Leia is, in fact, older than Luke, or
(b) remained with Padme for a few years before being adopted by the Organas.
I have a simpler explanation. Leia simply has a memory that isn't real. If she was told (which is entirely plausible) that her mother died when she was 3 or 4 (instead of telling her that her mother died at childbirth of a broken heart) then it's entirely possible, and reasonable that she would believe she has some faint memories of her mum.
