Rumor has it…

that Connor looks like Mommy. My family visited from New Jersey this past weekend and first thing my cousin Melissa says to me is that Connor looks like Victoria. I mean, she wasn’t even in the house more than 2 minutes (I don’t think she even had a chance to hold him yet) and she is trying to fill Connor’s head with this propaganda. I politely told her that it was time for her to leave. 😉 Connor stuck up for Daddy by pee’ing on Melissa as she changed his diaper for the first time. (That’s Daddy’s boy!)

While Melissa and Victoria were talking and much to my amazement, I overheard Victoria tell Melissa that Mimi (Victoria’s Mom) told her that Connor looked like Victoria as well. Blindsided by my favorite mother-in-law. Victoria’s look on her face when she realized I overheard the conversation was priceless. You would have thought she sold top secret information to the Soviets or something.

That’s alright — Connor can look like Victoria as much as everyone wishes. One thing he has from me is his demeanor. He is such a wonderful baby and has such an easy going personality that he has to take after his father!!!!! I’ll trade quiet and restful nights for looks any day!

Back to what everyone sees in Connor and why I don’t understand…

I hear the following (my response in bold).

• he has Victoria’s nose.
  • Come on, do you actually believe I was born with this nose? 😉
• he has Victoria’s forehead.
  • Ok, maybe.
• he has Victoria’s feet.
  • See me in about 16 years and tell me if he wears a women’s size 5.5 or a man’s size 12. My bet is he will be closer to the size 12.
• he has Victoria’s legs.
  • See me in about 16 years when he is taller than Mommy and Daddy.
• he has Victoria’s rear-end.
  • I hope not — we want a manly rear-end.
• he has Victoria’s eye structure.
  • As long as he has my eye color (check back in about 5 months).
