Viral: Mom Teases Model Brother By Having Her Toddler Recreate His Pics
Model Aristotle Polites had found some tough competition in his 18-month-old nephew.
Polites’ older sister, Katina Behm, hilariously teased him by having her toddler, Augie, recreate his modeling photos. It’d started months ago when Behm couldn’t get Augie into his plaid button-up shirt.
“The image of him with the shirt undone and his bare chest exposed made me laugh because he looked like he belonged on the cover of a romance novel,” she told the HuffPost. “I took a picture and then realized I bet my brother Aris has a picture just like this on his Instagram page which is filled with modeling photos.”
Behm found a similar photo of her brother taken by photographer Royce Bugarin and created a side-by-side image of Augie and her brother. She sent it to her family and asked, “Who wore it better?”
The family adored the comparison, so Behm created an Instagram account with the handle @babyandthebody to continue the funny project. She posts weekly and currently has had more than 9,000 followers.
Behm said her little brother approves of the project (he sometimes posts the side-by-side images on his Instagram page) because they have the same sense of humor.
“My brother and I get along great,” she stated. “We’ve always had a great younger brother/older sister relationship, lots of poking fun!”
Behm chose Polites to be the godfather to her daughter, Delphi (Augie’s twin), and the siblings try to stay in touch as much as they can with their busy schedules.
“I’m so proud of him because he’s out there doing his thing and following his passion, but it’s hard not to rip on him a little bit,” she told the HuffPost. “Some of his modeling pictures are hilarious, but he doesn’t take himself too seriously which is good because I get such a kick out of recreating them with Augie.”
The toddler seems to have somewhat caught on to the project, too. Behm said if Augie doesn’t seem interested in being in the photos, she tables the idea for another day. Once, though, after having a few weeks of not dressing him up for the recreated pics (she saves a few weeks’ posts at a time), the toddler got excited when he realized they were taking more photos.
“The moment I propped him up against the nursery wall where a lot are taken he got all excited because he remembered that we take pictures like that sometimes,” Behm said.
The cute project had also been particularly enjoyable for Behm’s 88-year-old grandmother. She doesn’t use social media, so every Sunday, Behm emails her the photo of Augie she plans on posting.
“She answers, ‘Is it time?!’ and races upstairs to check her email with me on the phone so we can laugh together,” Behm told the us.
“She always comments on how handsome Aris is but Augie always wins in her eyes. I think the love multiplies with every generation.”

Being a mother was never a simple task: it comes with lots of responsibilities…
3 Truths About C-Section Mothers That Everyone Should Know
Being a mother was never a simple task: it comes with lots of responsibilities, efforts, and great rewards. That is why we would like to encourage those great women who have undergone a Caesarean section for proudly wearing their “mark of happiness.”
C-section birth requires an immense amount of courage and strength, and only a true woman and mother can deal with it in such a heroic and admirable way. Here are 3 truths that only those women who have had a C-section know.
1. They bravely faced the consequences of surgical intervention
You may think that a Caesarean section, also known as a C-section, is a common procedure, but it’s also considered to be a major surgery. And, like other types of major surgeries, C-sections also carry many risks for both mother and child.
In addition, it is rather difficult for the future father or family members to be present in the operating room during the birth. They could be alone, without the possibility of receiving any support, and full of uncertainty.
There can be no better example of battle than that where fear and loneliness struggle internally against the strength, will, and unconditional love these women must endure just to receive that beautiful baby.
2. They didn’t know if everything was okay until they leave the operating room
In these cases, the risk did not end with the birth of the baby. As in every surgery, doctors couldn’t determine if everything has been successful until the anesthesia has worn off.
In addition, there is a detail that few people know. During a C-section the mother was conscious — she could not feel pain, but she could feel all the movement that occurs inside her. It is an unpleasant, invasive feeling, and, if you were not previously aware of it, it could be traumatic. Even so, they went through it with their heads held high because they know the reward is great.
3. They go through their post-cesarean recovery as true heroines
When a child is born, the world of a mother revolves around them and she complies to all of the demands without questions. This requires a predisposition and logistics which are often exhausting. Imagine doing all that withering in pain. Yes, with a lot of pain and discomfort that is an inevitable part of the recovery process following the surgery.
This makes them even stronger, crossing the pain threshold and developing an inner strength that is only compared to the strength of another mother.
No matter how hard it is, they would do it with a smile and with all the love in the world. Because every sleepless minute, every diaper they change, every smile and possibility to hold that little hand, to feel their breath, and that wonderful newborn baby smell justifies it. That exactly is the reason why they are in this world, to make that small extension of themselves happy.
We applaud each and every one of these mothers who are marked with a scar that allows them to never forget what they are made of. So, dear mothers, carry that beautiful mark with pride. No need to hide it or disguise it, because not every woman has that privilege.
