I don't have genes.

When little Sammy man came out, he did not look like Henry.  So, the family, for a split second thought that maybe this sweet baby would have some of my features... but after just a day or so it became evident that this child, too, looks exactly like his daddy.  And, if I might say so, may even look MORE like his daddy than his big brother does.

The main difference between the two, from what I can see, is that Henry's eyes were VERY big and opened really wide, whereas Sam's eyes are a little more squinty.  Now.  I know you're all going to roll your eyes and tell me that I am vain or something, but I would like to just say that as a child, I had BIG, WIDE eyes, and as a child Matt had little, squinty eyes.  I'm not saying Matt's eyes aren't wonderful.  (Would I dare try to compete with my husband whose senior superlative in HS was "best eyes?" Absolutely not.) So, obviously Henry gets his beautiful blues from Matt, but I don't want to give up the possibility that perhaps the shape of Henry's eyes comes from his mom.  Perhaps if I get motivated enough, I will post a picture of Matt as a child with his squinty eyes and a picture of me as a child with my big, wide eyes so you can see (and judge) for yourself.

Anyway, in the meantime, here's some Henry/Sam comparison photos.
