This almost didn't get posted this morning. Once taken, the ball of chaos started tearing apart the clean pile of laundry. Wheeeee
Aiden Self Portrait, 19 months
Aiden has become adept at clicking the shutter on the camera. This picture was taken pretty much by himself. 9:03 a.m. April 6, 2008
Everyone tends to be a bit slow in the morning. However, there are certain things you see in the morning that really just pull the grouch out of anyone.
This is happy making for me.

Aiden in the morning shortly after waking up and being dressed. Oh the happy!

I posted last year at the end of September (with aiden_freeman barely a month old) about how many people had told me that Aiden and I looked alike.
I have to admit.. I didn't see it that well. Maybe a hint here or there.
Well, in the comparison, I had to mirror and tilt an image of a 25 day old baby and place it against the picture of a child that was roughly 18 months.
It's a year later. Aiden is on the verge of 14 months. He has hair and eyebrows now. His eyes are now a deep, dark brown. He's growing into his face.
So let's take a look at a more recent picture in comparison:
Many people have told me how much Aiden and I look alike. I suppose it is genetic that you can't see your own face in a baby. fiannaharpar has told me that she doesn't see herself in her daughter either.
ON the other hand... almost EVERYONE will tell you that you are on crack and how much you look like your baby.
Some of you know that I am an amateur genealogist. I dug thru the files and found "a picture"
I have to admit.. for comparison sakes.. yes.. I see a resemblance. But some things to note (IMHO) 1) Aiden's picture is a mirror 2) I am 18 months to 3 yrs old in the picture (no clue for sure) 3) I tend to think that all babies look fairly similar.
For the holidays we got to sit on Lake Union. Well, we got to sit on a barge on Lake Union. Thanks to the hospitality of sea_gaagii and tavalon err... and the rest of the family.
