provenance of the cheeks?

I love this picture of Andrew with his Great Uncle Bob Barber. This was taken while the family lived in Aberdeen, MD from July until the weekend before Thanksgiving 1972. Guessing from his size and amount of hair, it looks to me like he's just about Finn's age. It's always so fun trying to figure out who Finn looks like, since he sort of wavers between our two families (who look eerily similar) based on his expressions and moods. But it seems like his cheeks and nose are pretty Barber-esque...

We didn't take a photo of Finn eating his FIRST RICE CEREAL today -- mostly because I don't really get too excited about photos of babies eating but also because he at it so fast there was no time for messing around with any camera. Although he's a week shy of 5 months and the American Academy of blah blah blah recommends waiting til 6 months for solid food, we sort of figured after he started eating a kleenex yesterday that it was time for solids. Maybe between his new exercise routine (photos of jumparoo to come) and diet he'll start napping regularly? Ha!
