Anyway, I offer a picture of Jordan:

| Five weeks |
And a picture of Colin:

| Seven weeks |
I'm sure some of the resemblance I see between them is because of the pose. But I think Colin may end up with the great big eyes his uncle has, and at least based on Alison and Eliot, he'll be a cutie pie no matter who he looks like.
*Bonus story.
Apparently my grandfather also believed that all babies look alike and never missed an opportunity to tell my mother that when she was pregnant with me. When he came to visit after I was born, she answered the door with me in her arms, realized it was her father, closed the door on him and put me in my crib. When she came back to the door let him in, he wanted to know why she'd done that. Well, she said, all babies look alike and you've seen babies already. No point in showing her to you.
I think he changed his tune after that.

what actually happened was this: he unexpectedly dropped in for a visit after you were born. I showed you to him and then put you to bed. His insistence that all babies were alike had led me, probably mistakenly, to think he didn't have much interest in them. And at that time I still gave him too much power. Further, he didn't say, 'keep her up' or 'let me hold her' or any such thing. He sneered at the idea of 'comfort food' as well. I don't think he was ever a truly happy man.
Ah well, I got the broad details right :-)
well, it's not the end of the world, but of course I dont' like it, why would I like my son being compared to another man? :P
He's your brother, you silly man.
