Again, a great looking baby! I'm really not just saying that: the Discovery Health channel is default TV at the weekends, so Annie and I have seen a lot of allegedly cute babies go by the camera lens, and Oisín's definitely got most of them beat.
Congratulations to you both! He's very handsome. I've only seen Niall once (in the Long Hall, at some gathering), but even so, I can see that Oisín looks very, very like him in the second photo! How old is he now? (oisín, í mean)
I'm afraid you appear to actually have a specimen of homo superior on your hands. Only the mutant ability to shapeshift can explain that much resemblance to both parents at once.
Resemblence? Resemblance? Argh, I'm being attacked with mutant mind control powers!
I'm starting to recognise that as "I'm wrecked, but I'm damned if I'll do anything as uninteresting as go to sleep"... Stubborn little person, he is :-)
See (as I just remarked to Inanna), I have some difficulty seeing the resemblances. Unless I concentrate, he just looks like him. And the first time someone said he looked like me, I realised that it hadn't occurred to me that he might. Motherhood is weird.
I do feel very blessed though - all of my LJ friends seem to have beautiful babies so I have no need to be tactful at all, and it's not just me being baby-gooish, because my Real Life friend has a truly *hideous* baby, and I ought to be biased in her favour really!
He is incredibly beautiful though. I look forward to seeing many more pictures!
