Hello there, a little kip, rolled over for the first time, all bounced out, feeding (Gee I'm getting bald), I didn't do this (And I suppose he's vaguely innocent too), "I caught those toes."

MiniMe
My son looks an awful, awful lot like me when I was little. Totally creepy. He most certainly has my wife's eyes, and her feet. But the rest sure seems to be from my end of the genetic ugly stick.

My father at six months of age, and myself at eighteen months.
