it's genetic

lastweekWatching over a sleeping baby, I examine his features, trying to find a hint of me in them. I can't seem to. I thought he had my eyes for awhile, but they've changed now. When he was first born, he strongly resembled Michael, but even that has faded some.
We went for dinner at Michael's grandmother's yesterday (and discovered family is 10 times more tolerable when we have the option of leaving). After we ate, she brought out some old photos. Some of her as a child, and of her siblings and parents. There in those photos, I found Alden's brow and upper lip. Strong Swedish genes.
His new hair that's starting to grow in is a lot lighter. Maybe a bit reddish. His eyebrows are completely blonde. Still waiting to see if his eyes will be brown or green.

Maybe he has my long limbs...
Nevermind, Michael has long limbs too.
