One Brother to Another

We haven't spent much time looking back, comparing Benjamin to Jasper. (We're just too busy ... and tired.) But, Drew started having a look the other night, and it got my wheels spinning. So here are some comparison shots of our boys at 6 months.

Jasper, highly animated about something

Benjamin also highly animated - I think just laughing at me.

Jasper doesn't think I'm nearly as funny.

You can draw your own conclusions, but it's clear to us that Benjamin is indeed bigger than Jasper at this point. (Yes, he's a chunk!!!) As infants, the boys looked identical, but now it's clear that they have their own distinct features. Benjamin's face is longer, and it's not obvious here but Benjamin's complexion is not as fair as Jasper. In going through all the photos of both boys, I found it interesting that Jasper seems to have more facial expression than Benjamin. Benjamin smiles allllll the time, but there isn't the range of expression that it seems Jasper has.
