She Looks Just Like...

I have had several people request that I post some of my baby pictures and David’s on here, so everyone can figure out who baby girl looks like.   Over the past six months we have heard a variety of opinions on the subject – a lot of people think she looks just like David, a smattering of people believe she looks like me, and there are a fair number who split the difference and say she looks like a mixture of both of us.  The latter happens to be where I come down on the subject, by the way.  A handful of you who knew my dad have also noted that she looks a little like him, and over the holidays I noticed how much she and David’s nephews resemble each other.  So really, the options are limitless.  And I suppose that makes sense – I mean, Annie is a mixture of my DNA and David’s, so it stands to reason that she would have attributes of not only the two of us, but others in our families as well.

So here it is, documented evidence of what I looked like as a baby and what David looked like…you’ll have to let me know who wins the “Who does she look like?” competition.

Baby girl at 6 months...

Mommy at 6 months-ish...

And...

Yes, I was a piano prodigy.

  And Daddy's Turn...

Cute kid, right?

And one more...

So what do you think?  Is she a Mini Me or a Mini David?  Or maybe a little of both?  And let me be clear, I am totally okay with my little girl looking just like her daddy.  I mean, I obviously liked what I saw when we met, I did marry him after all.  Plus, looking at these pictures, I am reminded that he was a seriously cute baby.  So really, either way, I'm happy.  And whatever her mix of DNA, the result is pretty darn precious.
