Baby Mark vs Baby Sean

People have marveled at how much my baby brother Sean looks like I did when I was small. Just for fun, my Momma has gone back into the archives of pictures of baby-Mark, and has found a few pictures that show just HOW MUCH we look like each other:

Here I am, meeting baby Sean when he was just a few hours old.

Here is baby-Mark in the hospital. I had a very similar profile to Sean!

Only a Momma would study her boys this closely, but she has had a lot of time to look at us while she nurses (in my case, nurseD) us. Here is what she has found: Our ears are a different shape, but our chin and mouth look very similar. Sean's nose is smaller and has a bit of a different shape than mine did. My cheeks were quite a bit rounder than Sean's, and Sean has dimples. My hairline is a bit higher than Sean's as a little baby, and I have a widow's peak. Sean has several cowlicks, and I only have one. My eyes were very blue, even when I was born, and Sean's are still dark slate grey - we will see what color his eyes turn into. Our feet are almost identical, with the longer THIRD toe, and our big toenail has a bad habit of getting ingrown. We will see what else is similar or different as Sean gets bigger!
