Look at my handsome guy! I think he looks so mature in this picture, like I am getting a glimpse of what he will look like in high school. A few people have asked me what color AJ's eyes are, and they are hard to describe, but I think you can get a good sense of them if you double click on this picture so that it appears big on your screen. Some people describe them as dark blue or gray, but I think they are green with brown flecks and have a dark blue ring around the outside edge that can make his eyes appear to be dark blue from far away.
I have this little pregnancy journal that had cheesy entry ideas like "what physical traits do you hope your baby inherits from your partner?" that I of course dutifully filled in as a first-time mom-to-be. The one trait that I most hoped AJ got from Joe are his ridiculously long and dark eyelashes. When AJ was first born, his eyelashes were blond and almost nonexistent, but now they have grown into gorgeous black fringes. My pediatrician said all the boy babies get the great eyelashes.
Pardon my gushing--mom's privilege, I guess. I promise not to invoke it too often in public.
