Look Alike?

People always ask me who Titan looks like? If Myla looks like Quinn? If our kids look like Dan or I? Where they got their curls, blond hair, etc.

So I decided to look at all my kids at 3 months and you can judge for yourself and let me know your thoughts.

It was strange to go back and look at all my big kids when they were 3 months old. I can hardly even remember them that little or looking like such babies. I remember hearing people say when Quinton was born that they couldn't remember their kids even being that small, I thought that were crazy, but it is so true. I look at these pictures and think to myself WOW time flies!

My family seems to think that Titan looks the most like Quinn. Quite regularly when I send a picture of Titan the response is.... "looks just like Quinn"

Titan and Quinton both at 3 months I tend to think that Titan looks more like Rex. It may have to do with the hair and the slightly darker complexion.

Now people tend to tell me that Quinton and Myla look the most alike, well here is Titan and Myla at 3 months. Hmmm... Despite both having blue eyes I don't see much in common. All four of them at 3 months. Such different looks all by the same parents. How amazing our God is to make such unique children.Now, one of the most frequently asked questions about our children is where did they get their curls and blond hair?

Does this help to answer your question? That is me and my grandpa when I was probably right around Myla's age. Same hair and same blue eyes. No one believes me when I say that I was blond. Here is your proof!

We often hear that our big boys are looking more and more like Dan. Well here is Dan when he was just a little guy, blond hair and all...It is fun comparing their looks but what's even more fun (and often times more amazing) is their different personalities. I remember my mom saying when we were growing up how crazy it was that my sisters and I had the same parents, the same environment but that we had such different personalities. I see my kids similarities and differences in their personalities emerging all the time. I love each and every unique and similar thing about them. I just wish that pictures and words on a blog could capture all that I get to experience every day.

So.... do my kids look alike or like Dan or myself?
