Family Resemblance

I've had several people tell me that they can see a lot of my side of the family in Charlie. Some say that they can see my features, Grandma Patti swears she sees Grandma Linda in his pretty little face, and I really saw Matthew when Charlie was first born (the baby picture comparisons were actually quite striking)! But now all I see when I look at him is Aaron, it might have a lot to do with his beautiful blue eyes. I know that all babies are born with bluish colored eyes and they could change to something else as late as six months of age, but I am convinced that Charlie will be keeping his gorgeous baby blues courtesy of his handsome Daddy! It wasn't until I paused in the middle of a paparazzi-like photo shoot with Charlie this evening to review my work that I saw what others have seen for some time now . . . ME! I have to say that this latest picture does remind me a lot of a few of my pics when I was just a babe myself!! He's sitting in his Bumbo on the kitchen counter while I was getting dinner ready. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this amazing gadget, it's a cool little seat that helps babies sit up, has a tray that attaches on the front high chair style, and Charlie loves to sit in it while playing with his rings. And we can't do much of anything now without a bib attached or burp rag in hand because he is drooling like it's going out of style!
