Today is my last day home alone with Henry before I go back to work, so this will likely be my last post for a week or so. He’s napping so I thought I would get this in before the whirlwind of working full time outside the home consumes me (I always have to include “outside the home”, because stay at home moms work too!) .
I’ve always thought that Henry is the spitting image of Andy. In fact, I’ve quipped that God has a great sense of irony for making me be the one who gains weight, acquires lovely stretch marks (not many, thank goodness!), and is miserable for nine (okay, 8) months…only to have the kid look nothing like me! There are times I am blown away by how much they look alike. BUT, then I came across some of my baby pictures and I’m re-thinking the whole thing. You be the judge.
(The yellow spots are from the picture being old…I didn’t have some weird form of jaundice!)
This is where I see the biggest resemblance. (And could that bedspread be any uglier?)
Wow, that’s a unibrow! Thank God for tweezers and hot wax!
My first birthday. What’s with all the olives?!
Oh, and for the record, Jacquelyn’s suggestion of a pillow to help with the height discrepancy of the excersaucer was a good one, but the pillow was too tall…The Complete Works of Lewis Carroll on the other hand is perfect! (I just love those legs! Even filled out, they’re still so scrawny!)

wow! i always thought he looked more like andy until that pic of you on the very ugly bedspread! spitting image!
All my life everyone has said I look exactly like my mom except I have my dad’s nose, eyes, smile, chin, etc. Crazy how that works. I can imagine God “knitting” Henry together in your womb using two different kinds of yarn. The complete effect is adorable!
I love the swimsuit shot:-) Isn’t genetics amazing! I wonder what your other kids will look like?! Does Growth Group start this week? Hope to see you soon.
