Who does he look like?

How could you not love a face like this?

We have officially figured out which of us October looks most like.
And the winner is...Heather!

If you weren't convinced by that last shot, I present to you Exhibit A:

a photo of Heather as a baby:

When compared to this shot of me and Toby, I think the
resemblance is hard to deny:

MY baby picture, however, bears a striking resemblance

to a young John Malkovich:

We may be wrong, but we think that our boy, October, smiles more than the average newborn (dozens of times per day). Here's one we captured as he was dozing off after a meal:

We hope he is as happy a child as these smiles seem to indicate because, unfortunately, he's going to have to put up with a lot of stuff in his life based on his parents' desires to get cute pictures. This comb-over shot is one example:

This mini-laundry basket shot is another:

We put him in this basket so we could weigh him easier, but he was so cute it turned into a photo shoot. By the way, he now weighs 7 lbs 11 oz--12 oz more than his birthweight (assuming our postal scale is accurate).

And here's a shot to show the size compared to a regular laundry basket:

I'll end with a shot of the Tob-meister chillin' with his mom:

Our kid is cool.

Take care!
