Matching Babies

I get asked a lot if Neil's older brothers looked like him when they were babies. Actually, it's most often about the hair--"Did you other boys have that much hair?"-- as most questions about Neil are. The answer, sadly, is no. Thomas has always been a dirty blonde and Gord started out as an almost redhead, and though they both had hair, it wasn't nearly as thick and full as little Neil's. He gets that from his dad, who still sports a shockingly thick mane.

Although the three boys had different baby hairstyles, I think you'll agree that they look remarkably similar in facial features. Here they are, all about 3 months old:

Thomas


Gordon


Neil


Adorable little things.

On another, less adorable note, I learned this week that OxiClean does, in fact, work in removing melted-in Silly Putty from brand new corduroy pants. Scrubbing is still required.

Oh and that picture of Neil reminds me so much of Jennifer P.'s little boy Liam's baby pics. How's that for crazy?

They're all cute . . . but that last picture of Neil is such a great close-up of his open-mouth smile and irresistable hair.

Love those handsome Hansen boys!

All good-looking boys--each with his own unique look while still looking like his brothers! So cute. I want to eat Neil's face. I am so glad I got a sample of him during my brief Utah visit.

Cute, cute boys! I do love little Neil's hair too! Thanks for the tip on silly putty too. That is just what I needed to hear. We have some smashed into the seat of our car and I have tried a lot of things, but not oxi clean yet, so I hope that works!
