The Three Boys Hindman
Here is a quick side-by-side of our three sons at approximately the same age (one week, give or take).
Left to right: Malachi, Silas, and Ezra
It's such an interesting journey to watch each of our boys develop in their own ways following birth. I remember how, when Silas was born, I thought he looked exactly like Malachi. Of course, he quickly differentiated himself with his blond hair, blue eyes, and fair complexion. Malachi, meanwhile, has always been dark, right down to the deep, dark brown of his eye color.
So how about Ezra? Well, it's still early, but you can judge for yourself above. Although he already looks uniquely different than the other two, it seems to me that he looks a little more like Malachi so far. His coloring is more like Malachi's. His hair may turn out to be a darker brown, even. As for Ezra's eyes, that's still anyone's guess really. When he was born they looked blue, and I thought he'd be following in Silas' steps. But now they seem to be an enigmatic sort of brown-gray-green. I really don't know what color they'll decide to be.

So cute! Do they have a similar expression because of genetics, or is that the common week-old look? (I hope this comment goes through; WordPress does not like me!)

Hey, Su. Good to see you on here…we were just watching tennis and saw you hadn’t commented on THAT and wondered if you were okay. Yep, it was a heartbreaker. But, I’m getting used to it now. As for the next match, I will seriously be surprised if Murray wins.
I don’t know about the expression. I would say that now that Silas and Malachi are older, their expressions aren’t really that similar. So, maybe it’s just a baby thing.

So fun to see the comparisons. We are so looking forward to seeing all three boys in CA soon. Maybe you could just put them on an airplane and we can pick them up at the airport? ha! Wish we were together right now. Love to all from grandma Billye!
