Who does Addie look like?

So along with the question "is she sleeping through the night yet?" (you know better than to ask me that in person. For the answer, read the previous post) many people ask "which of you does she look like more?" Well, it's kind of hard to tell since Steve and I don't currently look like a bald little baby, so I figured that finding old photos of us when we were Addie's age or close could help settle the score.

So...what do you think? There aren't that many baby photos of us on the computer, so I tried to my best to pick ones that I thought were comparable angles.

Here's Stevo on the left and a younger Addie on the right.



This is me (monica) on the left when I was a little'un, and that's Addie on the right.

Wow, I thought for sure this little peanut was Steve through and through, but then I saw the photo of Monica the Peanut. I went with a combo.

like adam clayton

She looks so big in the artsikoosh photo! must be the angle, plus actual growth. I miss her.

Definitely a perfect combo of the two.

ok I'm dumb who's adam clayton?

Monica and Steve said...

Adam Clayton is, of course, the bass player of U2...which Addie has been subjected to...er, listening to ;) since she was in my belly!

-Monica

Well.... until Addie goes to college and wisely decides to get into Pink Floyd!

geez I definetly should have known that! ;-) pink floyd? paleez -- how about rod stewart?

Monica and Steve said...

Rod Stewart? She's only 3 1/2 months old. Let's not doom her to nerdy old person music so soon!

-steve

ha ha, nerdy old people music (snicker, snicker)

please, can't we just start her on sesame street and disney? that's what I grew up on :P

Danielle said...

Not to worry Joan, I'll be sure to sufficiently expose her to plenty of Jersey Girl Rock - namely, Bon Jovi and The Boss! Perhaps I'll throw a little "Maggie May" in there just for you ;)

She is PERFECT! I can't wait to meet her in person!

Addie looks like herself.

As a person who helped to this world thousands of babies, I witnessed the "who does he/she looks like" story many times. 99.9% of the time the baby looks much more like another baby in the next bassinet than either the father or the mother or uncle Joe or aunt Jamie. Yet, parents can't withstand to find features for such comparison. It is extremely rare that a newborn baby would actually resemble any of the family members, either as adults, or even as babies. Since I have seen a few very rare cases, I can state it with great deal of confidence, Addie looks like herself.

Besides, what's wrong with that anyway?
