From the moment the kids were born, there has always been a slight competition between me and Mr. Sunglasses as to who looks like whom. It’s not in a negative way, but it’s always fun to know whether your child has inherited one of your physical traits. As much as I tried my hardest to defend my stance that Mavrick looked like me as a baby, no one would say things like “oh is that your son?” when looking at us. He inherited my hair color, but that’s about it. If they looked at Mr. Sunglasses… well that was another story. They are almost baby twins.
(Mr. Sunglasses : 10 months // Mavrick : 12 months)
When I found out I was having a girl, I was secretly hoping she would look like me because it was obvious Mavrick looked like daddy. When she was born, she had my eyes and dimples but she looked like her father. But now at 12 months, the resemblance between us is shocking.
(Me : 10 months // Sienna : 9 months)
What is crazy to me is that she looks like her brother, yet he doesn’t look like me. My parents even tried to find some of their resemblance in our kids.
Who do your kids look like? Who would you prefer they look like?

DD looks like me, but there are some facial expressions she makes that makes her look like DH

My oldest daughter looks like her dad and people say our younger looks like me. Really I think hair color plays into the perception because older daughter has dad’s hair color and younger has mine. I think it’s funny because my younger daughter is clearly multi-racial, so I’m amazed that people think we look so much alike!

From the nose up, LO is all me. Her mouth and chin is definitely from DH.

My son looks identical to my dad as a baby. My poor husband- all LO seems to have inherited is his ears!

My older one use to look just like me, now he looks more like my father in law, my middle one looked just like her older brother when she was a baby, but more like her dad and now she looks more like me (and she acts just like me wheni was a child) my third one looks just like her brother and sister right now… we’ll find

How fun! LO isn’t here yet, but this reminds me of my niece and nephew. Nephew is spitting image of his dad, and niece is twin of her mom! I joke all the time that they each got their mini-me!

When she was first born she was my husband’s mini me! But as she gets older she’s beginning to look more and more like me. One of her teachers told me that every day when my husband drops her off she thinks “wow, m looks like her dad” and then every day when I get there to pick her up she thinks “nope, m totally looks like her mom”. So I guess it’s a good mix.

So cute!!!
Everyone used to say that Liam was a mini Mr. TTT, but now most people say he looks like me. The thing is, Mr. TTT and I don’t look super different from eachother – same hair and skin coloring – so it’s hard for me to say he looks way more like either one of us as opposed to a balanced combination.

Wow! She mostly looks like my husband – especially her coloring. I have very dark hair and brown eyes, while she has light brown/reddish hair and blue eyes. I think she looks like me when she smiles and she has my nose. I joke that people must think I’m her nanny! It’s amazing how they change so quickly though.

M looks like my husband. Same big blue eyes, same face shape. She looks just like DH and all of his siblings. The only people who say she looks like are people who haven’t met DH! I’m ok with it. After all, I think he’s pretty cute

My LO has a lot of features from DH but somehow she looks a lot like my father. I love comparing family baby photos though, it is so interesting to see how similar kids are to their parents/grandparents!

Depends on who you ask! But DH and I don’t look all that different. I like to think that LO looks like herself, not us.

My son looks like me but with his daddy’s mouth. The first time he smiled, I saw it and I MELTED.
