It is apparent that Marcus thinks he looks like Caleb. This morning he was going through the family newsletter naming the people iin the pictures. I admit that this isn’t an easy task because they are small, black and white, and aren’t the clearest of pictures. He came to a picture of Vanessa and proudly said, “That’s Nessa!”. Then when I pointed at the picture of him near by he said, “Caleb”. I corrected him and moved on to the next page. There was a picture of him holding Vanessa. When asked who they were he pointed at the baby and once again announced that it was Nessa. Next he pointed at himself and quickly announced that it was Caleb.
So, while this issue isn’t one that happens often, it is clear that there is a strong family resemblence. No doubt about it that Marcus looks like a Karth!
The other bit of news is that sadest news I have yet! Vanessa is gearing up to say her first word. Right now her sounds include “babababa” and “lalalala”, but what concerns me the most is that she is also saying “dadada”. While she hasn’t realized that it sounds like a word, it won’t be long. For the life of me, I can’t get her to say anything that sounds like “mama”! I thought we had a deal! Marcus said, “dada” first so Vanessa was supposed to say Mama first! Well…so much for my plans. :-{
