Mr. C is on the left; he's about six weeks old now. Mr E is three and has an enormous vocabulary for a kid his age. Tim and I were also big conversationalists and early readers (before kindergarten). E is already reading simple things.
The difference I noticed right away is that the brothers don't look alike at all. Mr. C has straight brown hair and features like his mom; Mr. E, as you can see in the photo on the right, has blond curly hair and looks a lot like Tim as a child. The color is from me (no blonds on Miranda's side), and the loose curls from Tim. My blond hair was always much kinkier, and around 6 turned brown. Tim's hair departed when he was in his 20s, and just went chrome dome after that.
Anyone have some pics of themselves that they are willing to share? I'll go first, lol....
With my brother Tim, 1974, in Hollis, Queens, NY.
My hair was braided so tight to hold back the kink that the braids stood out from my head as you can see in the pic. My poor mom, who had straight hair, didn't know what to do with it other than tie it down/constrain it in some form or fashion.
