When it comes to looking at my beautiful daughter, I sometimes have to do a double take. Looking at a side by side of Alex's baby picture with Madeline's, it is not hard to see why. Their appearance is so similar, it makes friends and family laugh. It is a good thing his face is so becoming on her!I think this picture of Madeline is the photo we have that is the most obviously similar. When her eyes are open, she is Alex's mini-me. No paternity tests needed here folks, but a maternity test may be in order. There is nothing about her that looks like me, except for the fact that she is long and lean. (Just kidding!)
When I look around at friends' children, I notice almost all of the girls look like the dads. What about us moms? We are the ones who carry the baby for 9 months. We are the ones who actually go through labor and delivery. And then, as a reward, we get a baby that looks nothing like us. My advice to all you ladies out there is this: you better like your baby daddy's face because you will be looking at a smaller version for the rest of your life. The good news is, I do.
Happy New Year. May the year be a sweet one for everyone!

When I first looked at your post I honestly said out loud to Paul, "Wow! Madeline looks exactly like Alex!" I thought it was a little funny that she was in a walker that looked 30 years old, but I thought maybe one of your parents hung onto it or something. Hee hee:) I agree with you, why is it that girls look just like their daddies?! Makenna is Paul's mini-me too.
