Mark's Mini Me

Nobody can argue the fact that Mark and Mac look alike.  A lot.

Same hair color, nose, same body shape, similar personalities and that same love of baseball.  And Angry Birds.

Hey both have hair growing in a circle on their necks.

They even have the same focus face.

I'm still trying to capture Mark's focus face ... the slight pucker of the lips and furrowing of the brows ... but the camera's orange light keeps bringing him out of his focus.  Sigh.  And Heaven knows he won't pose for me.

And they both like to match up their fingers when they're bored.

They enjoy watching each other hit it and go "super fast".

MacAlister has always adored his father, but ever since baby Belen came around, he has become Mark's little shadow.  He asks for him all day long.  He wants me to spell "Dad" on his "chocolate" board.  He wants Daddoo to put him to bed, not Mommees.  He wants Mommees to hold the baby, and not Daddoo.

The other day sister finally decided to take a decent nap, and so Mac and I busied ourselves with tower building.  Mac would look at my towers, shake his head and say, "Not cool, Mom."

Sigh.

I guess he'll just have to wait for Dad to come home and make everything cool again, because my abilities are lacking these days.
