Brothers

It never fails, whenever we go out as a family someone whether it's a stranger or a friend will comment on one of two things, or sometimes both. It's either, "Wow! There is no question that those boys belong to their dad!" (or something to the effect that the boys are mini-mes of Marc) or "Your boys look so much a like!" Well, it is quite obvious and the pictures tell the tale, too. (The pictures on the left are Carter when he was 10 months old, the ones on the right are Anderson at 9 months old.) And just recently I started noticing that they not only look very similar, Anderson is developing some idiosyncrasies that Carter had when he was 9-10 months old. Like the fact that they both are scrunching their noses the same way in these pictures. Or like when Carter was a baby, he didn't like sitting on the grass so he'd lift up his left leg and balance like that so that as little skin as possibly was exposed to the prickly sensation. I never captured him doing that on camera, but the other night when we were sitting on the grass outside our place, Anderson started doing the exact same thing, with the exact same leg. I quickly grabbed the camera so as not to miss it the second time around!

Your boys are both super cute! They really do look alike...and like Marc. Does it ever make you wonder if you had a girl if she'd look just like you? Your blog is great!

Keep sending out similar pics, they are great to look at!
