Joseph's Journey

Who does Joseph look like...Mommy...Daddy...Tio Nando...Opa...Papa Joe...

As long as I can remember everyone says that I look like my Dad, on occasion some people say I look like my Mom. My two cents...I look a lot like my Dad but I have my Mom's smile...oh and her height and my Grandma Santos' hands (hence why God made me short & the fact that I have cute little hands...love you Mommy!)

Mark looks JUST LIKE HIS UNCLE GARY! I kid you not, you should see the Marak Family picture that my mother-in-law has in her living room. Mark follows the old saying that the first born male looks like his Mom's side of the family...and he does! (So I guess that means I follow the old saying that the first born female looks like her Dad's side of the family...'cause I do!)

Then there's my Son...Joseph...I remember telling my Mom that I don't want him to look like my side of the family...I want him to be the perfect combination of BOTH of us...Mark's height, weight, athletic ability and did I mention his height??...My eyes, lips, and love for music.

Well guys...I got my wish, at least look wise and with Mark's height. Joseph is a perfect balance of his Mommy & Daddy. When I am holding him people say he looks just like me, when Mark is holding him people say he looks just like him. The Girls at my work say that he looks like a little Mark; Debbie, another one of my Girls, says that Joseph is the spitting image of me. Mark's co-workers say he's a good mix of both of us. My parents say he looks like my brother Nando when he was little; my in-laws say he's a good balance, some times they see me, sometimes they see Mark.

I don't know all I see when I look at Joseph are those chubby cheeks and that million dollar smile we CAN'T live without.

So my question for all of you who follow this blog or read it on occasion...Look at the following pictures of Joseph, Mark, my Dad, my brother, my father in law and myself and tell me who Joseph favors the most.

Here is who Mark and I look like
