living vicariously


Laurel mentioned that these two pictures looked alike, and I must say... Isabel takes after her best looking aunt. Haha! Just kidding.

I just thought - since I don't have any kids of my own to dote on yet, I could feebly attempt to compare myself to my sister's child. (But there are definitely some similarities, eh?) Seriously though... if I'm lucky enough to have kids half as beautiful as Isabel, I'll be one happy camper.

p.s. Oh my gosh - I just read the back of my picture (you know - where Mom writes the date and whatnot) and apparently I was 4 months old when it was taken. Um... Isabel is 9 months old, and I'm pretty sure we're the same size. How abnormally fat was I?!

I can't believe how much you two do look alike! You don't look abnormallyfat to be as a baby. I think that you are adorable!

you were one cute kid! One of my faves! Isabel does look a lot like you! I, also, see your mom's eyes and happy smile! My little Brindley, who isn't that little anymore, reminds me of you, too. She is built like you were...and has that same "devilish" sense of humor where she knows how to push her sister's buttons! I'll never forget the time that you held your finger inches away from Laurel just to hear her scream..."Mom, she's touching me!" It was great! You're a keeper! Lara

Hey, "abnormally fat" kids are the cutest ones! Thanks for the follow-up post to my Isabel!

I don't think it's so much abnormally fatness as it is a gorgeously fluffy (perhaps Nanny-sent) dress accentuating the baby curves... ;)
