who is this??

I gave this picture to Grace today and asked, "who is this?"

At first she said, "Me!"  

Then quickly said, "Dat's Momma!"

So funny.  At first glance...she thought it was her!

I tried to get a good pic to compare, and this one doesn't really illustrate my point...but the faces that Grace makes...the way she cuts her eyes....really reminds me of me when I was a girl (not that I remember exactly what I looked like, but from pictures that I see).

And just one more of me when I was probably 18 months or so...

They may look a little bit like me....but at times....they do look just like their daddy, too.

I did a whole 'resemblance' post with Parker a few years back...it's kind of crazy to see how much they both look like both of us!  All part of the miracle of life.

Resemblance.

Well- this is an age-old question: Who does your child resemble the most... Mommy or Daddy??

When asked this question for the first few months of Parker's life...I said "Geoff!" No ifs, ands, or buts! (At this point, I was thinking that we should have just named her Geoffette. (I'm kidding!))

She's about a week and a half old in this picture...

So over the past week or so, I have compiled some of Geoff's, mine, and Parker's baby pictures to let you be the judge. I know it doesn't really matter, and truth be told...she just looks like "Parker"...not really me or Geoff. But this is fun to me because it is kinda neat to see the resemblance.

Check out this glare from Geoff. I'm not really sure how old he is here (I'm a really poor judge), but I found this and immediately thought of the scowls that Parker gives....

This is Parker at 6 weeks old. (Isn't she cute in her first pair of jeans??)

And now for a present-day scowl....(as seen previously about 2 weeks ago)

But then as the months progressed...I began seeing more of myself in her...especially her eyes...

This is Parker at 4 months...

and me at 6 months...

but to me, I can kind of see more resemblance between her 4 month picture and this picture below of me when I was 12 months...

Oh! And these next 3 pictures...I could really see me- especially with her eyes...

But eventhough I began to see more of myself, there is undoubtedly, a lot of Geoff in there too....


When I saw this next picture, I immediately thought, "Oh- this looks so much like Geoff."

...especially when compared to this picture...

and then compared to this picture...(Parker on New Year's Day 2008)--which was when she was about 3 and a half months old...

and then here's Geoff at 4 months...

Parker at 6 months...

and here's Geoff again...(if you can't tell...)

...and here is another one of me at 18 months...
look familiar???





And for the finale...

Here is Geoff at 14 months...

Here is Parker at 15 months....

And here is me at 18 months....

So after viewing all of the "evidence"....what are your thoughts???
