My offspring looks nothing like me
I suppose it's not that unusual for a father to hope that his son looks something like him. Alas, I hope in vain.My three-month old is a handsome devil, don't get me wrong. (And I'm not just saying that. Look at these photos, and tell me he's not a fine specimen.)
I have occasionally commented to his mother that he is the baby of a thousand faces. This is because no two photographs we take of him look quite the same. The problem is that not a single one of his many faces looks like me.
Because of this, I have to take solace in similarity with other body parts. He has two wonderful ears and a pair of fantastic legs, which his mother calls "Romanesque" (read: fat) that are both shrunken versions of mine.
I do, however, take full credit for his "cute" and "rascal" genes.

Oh love, he does too look like you. AND, you cannot deny that he looks exactly like you did when you were a baby - at least, that is what I can tell from the ONE baby picture you have.
OH, and P.S. ..."Romanesque" should not imply fat. My boys aren't fat … their legs are in fact chiseled … muscular … you know, just like the statues you see depicting Roman gods.
Fat=Bad.
Romanesque=Good. Very Good.
P.P.S.: Thanks for finally updating.
