See a resemblance?

Sometimes, when I look at Phoenix, it takes me back to my first few months of parenting Apollo, my first born. Holy cow I was a mess! My friend once described becoming a parent as "baptism by fire" which sums it up perfectly from my experience. When Apollo would cry despite my attempts at consoling him, my anxiety and doubts about my parenting abilities bubbled over. When Phoenix cries, I know he'll survive. Heck, I've even let him cry for a few minutes while I shower or brush my teeth, if it comes to that. With Apollo, that never happened. I'm glad I'm getting better and more relaxed at this whole parenting thing. There are still times where I want to throw myself on my bed and cry the "ugly cry" while rocking back and forth, but those moments are fewer and further apart.

Anyways... one reason I have been reflecting on when Apollo was a newborn is because Phoenix and him look A LOT alike. It looks like Cameron has successfully cloned himself yet again :)

Baby Apollo

Baby Phoenix

The main difference I have noticed is that Phoenix has more fat rolls and he's slightly bigger. My kids are kind of like great danes- HUGE. I really hope they don't end up with Cameron's height and my coordination or they will be doomed. 

Has anyone else out there had kids that looked almost identical? Or is there someone in your family that you have a strong resemblance to? For me, it's my Grandpa Don. I always tell Cameron that he can just put a blonde wig on my Grandpa if he wants to know what I will look like when I am old.

Happy weekending!!!
