When you have a baby, or two, one of the most common questions is "Who does she/he look like?". Sometimes the question is skipped all together and the onlooker offers her/his unsolicited opinion on WHO they look like.
I've never liked this question because there's no right answer. The answer always changes depending on who you ask and how old the baby is. The family on Paul's side always say the kids look like their side. My family would argrue they look like our side. It's a battle that will never be won.
With this being said, I have always reluctantly answered: the girls look like the Bugenhagen/Nichols family and Wyatt looks like a Bendoski/Jackson.
Always, until last week when I pulled out my baby album and found a picture when I was about 15 months. I couldn't believe my eyes....
She will change as she grows, as they all have, but for now I can say she looks like me.
It truly is amazing how our children really are a PERFECT blend of husband and wife once all is said and done.

I look like Lillian. Lillian looks like me.
It was a proud moment every mom secretly wants to have. Bragging rights that their offspring looks like them.

They all have traits and mannerisms of both sides of the family. This is an amazing comparison of you and Lillian! Mostly though they look like themselves...beautiful and handsome.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about secretly wanting your kids looking like you, everytime someone says Thomas looks like me I get so excited.
