Whose Baby Is This?

I find it funny that there seems to be a tug of war going on as to which side of the family Grant takes after. I suppose that's because there are both of us in him so family members will see what they want to see. What is it about the need to see yourself in your children/grandchildren anyway? I am guilty. I do it too. But in this case I am right. Grant takes after my side of the family way more.

Here are my top 10 reasons.

1.) Sleep. This kid sleeps. He doesn't go to bed until 8:30pm and then does not wake up until 7 or so. Aid is up at 5am. If he makes it till 6 it's like Christmas time around here. This sleeping thing in NOT a Bures trait. None of them do it.

2.) He is not so laid back. Grant from the moment he was born was very assertive and expressive. He screamed bloody murder. He has slowed down on the screaming and tries very hard to speak to you but if you don't get it...

3.) He has a bit more of a temper which I am positive comes from me. He is a bit more reactive then Aid is.

4.) He has blue eyes and and dark hair...I mean, come on.

5.) He has the same square shaped face me and my brother have. Aid has a round face. Grant's is very long.

6.) He has my grandfather's ears.

7.) My mother swears that his nose is like her brothers' noses.

8.) He has my eyes. I thought they were my father's, a little more buggier. But, but then I saw them. Grant easily gets the dark circles under his eyes like I do. Because they are a little deeper set. He at times looked like he had too black eyes! These are also from my mother's side of the family.

9.) He crinkles when he smiles. All me.

10.) You could swap out any of my brother's baby pictures and lots of mine and see this:



So each of you has one of my children!!
