Little help please with this paragraph

[CoffeeWithMonkeys]

I am having a heck of a time wording this so it makes sense.
If you read this can you understand what she's trying to say?
And any suggestions to make it more clear?I wrote it and even I find it confusing!

I look down at Spencer. He’s doing really well sitting in a carseat for never having been in one before. And only because I am sitting right next to him. He looks so little suddenly. I lean over and kiss his head. His curls. His dad’s curls. I don’t know why he is more his dad’s son than his brother, Eddie’s namesake. Eddie is named after his dad and looks the most like him, but Spencer reminds me more of Eddie and I don’t know why.

It reads fine. Leave it alone.

It's ok. Maybe a little wandery. You could consider starting a new paragraph at "I don't know".

Would this make sense?

I look down at Spencer, sitting next to me in his car-seat. He’s doing really well for someone who has never been in one before; probably because I am sitting right next to him. All of a sudden, he looks so small... I lean over and kiss his head; his curls; his dad’s curls. I don’t know why, but more than his brother, Spencer is his dad’s son. Eddie is named after his dad and looks the most like him, but it is Spencer who reminds me of their father. I just don’t know why.

This is pretty much how I was thinking...you beat me to the punch, but IMO this is easier to read than the original. (I might opt for ellipses after 'his head...his curls...his dad's curls.' )

I mostly like this one, reads fine to me and wanders a little less than the original. I tend to be a little more wordy...

I look down at Spencer sitting next to me in his car-seat. He's doing really well for someone who has never been in one before; though I wonder how much of that is because I'm sitting right next to him.

All of a sudden though, I feel he looks so small...

Leaning over, I kiss his head, muss his curls, so much like his dad's. Eddie, Spencer's brother, is named after their dad and looks most like him, but Spencer is the one who reminds me most of their father, and I just don't know why...

Thanks everyone, a lot to consider. It is so confusing because the older son is named after the dad, so how to distinguish between the two Eddie's?
Here's the paragraph again
I look down at Spencer. He’s doing really well sitting in a carseat for never having been in one before. And only because I am sitting right next to him. He looks so little suddenly. I lean over and kiss his head. His curls. His dad’s curls. I don’t know why he is more his dad’s son than his brother, (dad)Eddie’s namesake. (son)Eddie is named after his dad and looks the most like him, but Spencer reminds me more of (dad)Eddie and I don’t know why.

Short blurb about the story, and no it won't be posted here because of the age of the girl.
A young girl(15-16) falls in love with an older guy(21 or so) she runs away to be with him. Of course she ends up with a baby, then another one. While she's pregnant with the second one things start going bad and she's ready to get out of the relationship, but he won't let her.
After the second baby he moves them to another state so no one in her family knows where she is now, she doesn't even really know. Somewhere after that she has another baby, Spencer, who never even leaves the house until he about two. She isn't exactly sure how old he is since she had to have him at home alone.

In that scene I was asking about they are in a car heading back to her mom's. She got 'rescued' in a sense I guess.
A really sad story I suppose.

It reads fine. Leave it alone.

This is the best idea I'm lazy and the more I read it and try to change it, the more confused I get!

I like this idea because I love ellipses!

It needs a bit of filling out and clarifying to keep the reader from stopping to figure out what is what. You don't want them to do that unless it's intended.

I look down at Spencer. He’s doing really well sitting in a car seat for never having been in one before. This is probably only because I am sitting right next to him. He looks so little suddenly. I lean over and kiss his head--his curls. He has his dad’s curls. I don’t know why he is more his dad’s son than his brother, Eddie’s namesake, is. Eddie is named after his dad and looks the most like him, but Spencer reminds me more of Eddie and I don’t know why.

This dumbs it down a bit, but publishers stress lowest common denominator understanding unless you want your reader to stop and consider what's happen or where it's going (and sometimes you do).

The suggested wording up the line has multiple misuses of semicolons.

I want it to be easy to read and comprehend and not make anyone have to stop to try to figure anything out.
It's a complicated story anyway in that a lot of it is told in flashbacks she has. It starts with her and the kids at the hospital after being found, then as the story, present tense, unfolds she has flashbacks as to how she got to that point.
Clear as mud? hehehe Yeah anything to make it easy to follow is wonderful! Your changes and additions are perfect!
