Look closely . . .

And you might just see a family resemblence. For instance, they both have beautiful skin and big blue eyes. Lemur pointed out that last one. He looked at Helo (for so I've dubbed him) the first time he caught him with his eyes open and exclaimed, "He has my eyes!!" Perhaps there's not much in this pic, but I do enjoy the odd angle at which my son has perched him self. And Helo is just takin' it like a man. "Weird cousin."

Oh, so cute!
Ahh, here we really see how much they have in common, despite the separation of the more potent family genes. I love having Helo over in the afternoons. Yesterday he was so excited to "sit up" (I was holding him up, truth be told. I don't think he noticed the distinction), and he finally smiled. As much as Helo smiles. He's a very reserved and serious little man. And it's beautiful to see his little man-face light up when he sees his mother.

Rivulet likes to be a mommy to this new person, and is constantly trying to hold him and give him a bottle. When he naps, she will waddle up and begin stroking his baldness, smiling and saying "Baby?" over and over, seemingly very proud that she gets to touch one. I believe that whenever he's happy, she takes the credit for it herself. That's okay with me. I'm just glad she doesn't get jealous seeing me holding another baby. Maybe there's hope . . .
