Peas in a Pod

When I look at Mister, I sometimes marvel that I'm his mother. We look nothing alike (though some would say he inherited my temperament....). If you lined up a bunch of kids across from their respective mothers, I'm convinced no one would ever pick Mister to be my son. Sometimes people say that they see a lot of me in Pumpkin, but I've never really seen it until recently. I was at my mom's for Thanksgiving and she brought out a few of my baby pictures. I was so excited to see that as a baby, I looked exactly like Pumpkin, but with lots of dark hair and brown eyes. I still don't think he looks like me now, but as a baby, you can definitely tell he's my son. Hooray!

PS: I was 8 months and 3 months in these pictures, respectively. Can you believe how much hair I had?! My boys are bald compared to me!

First, I think he looks like you NOW- but seeing those pictures bring it out even more. You have the EXACT same shape mouth!!! And those squishy little baby cheeks he definitely got from you... so precious!

If it makes you feel better, our children are going to be "IriMexiWegIsh" so who knows what our babies will look like! I'm going to be sooo jealous if I have children that have you and your mom's olive skin!!!

I'll be jealous too! Neither of my boys has that kind of skin! :)

Hi friend. I made the header in Photoshop Elements with a font and a mask. It's all from stuff I learned from the classes I've taken at jessicasprague.com

I have always said that Mister looks exactly like his Dad, and Pumpkin looks exactly like you. Now you know I am right. And of course, I think you are all gorgeous!

Definitely two peas in a pod! I love the first pictures - you two have almost the exact same expressions on your faces.
