Do These Cheeks Make Me Look Fat?

Last week, Sam had his eight-week check up. The doctor said that he was in the fiftieth percentile for weight, but we're a little concerned that he is carrying 60 percent of that weight in his cheeks.

Kim and I have been trying to trace where Sam got some of his features. Here's what we've come up with so far:

Bright Blue Eyes: Color (Kim) Shape (Paul)
Perfectly Round Head: Paul
Handsome Chin(s): We're hoping this won't stay plural, but the main chin looks like Kim's
Rosebud Mouth: All Kim
Hair: Too early to tell, but we're optimistic that there are traces of Kim's grandpa's hairline (hope, hope). He had hair that would have made Ronald Reagan jealous. Not that bald isn't cool, we're just hoping he goes through his bald phase early. And only once.
Button Nose: No idea. One theory points to our fertility doctor, Dr. Farkas.
Irresistibly Pinchable Cheeks: Sorry Sam, you are cursed. All Paul on this one. Check out the comparison photos below of Sam vs. his dad back in the day.

Totally on the cheeks. First thing that pops into my mind when I see Sam's pictures is Paul's baby cheeks! :)
I love that picture of Kim on the side with that pure mama-love.
Beautiful.

I love that little picture in the stripes in the comparison photos. He looks like a little thinker.

He is a perfect combination of the two of you. Looks like all that worry about your baby not being as cute as mine was all in vain. I think he's way ahead of the game.

You should grow your hair out like Skip back in the day to make the comp photo complete.
