Comparison

We spent a lot of time during this pregnancy trying to imagine what boy #2 would look like.  Similar to Owen?  Completely different?  Just like Kraig?  More like me?

Then when we first laid eyes on Dylan all we could say was "Oh my goodness, he is BEAUTIFUL" (over and over and over- seriously).  Of course, we thought the same of Owen (and still do).  I think it was rather shocking for us to see this new little person that we created and realize that he was ours, yet he looked so unlike "the other one" that we have- but still SO BEAUTIFUL.

Now that Dylan is looking less like a squishy newborn and more like, well, Dylan, I present the evidence.  It will be pretty fun to keep looking for similarities and differences as they both age.  

First moments with Dylan:

 This is actually a pretty good representation of what Dylan looks like now.

It's pretty easy for us to see that they are brothers, but there aren't very many shared features.  Specifically, Owen looks just like Kraig- but not how Kraig looked as a baby.  Dylan looks exactly like me as a baby.  We're interested to see how he grows and changes.   I may be biased, but my boys are just stunning.
