The Verdict... Or Not?



Before Henry was born, one of our wonderings was what he would look like, (I even posted about it here).  Or, more precisely, WHO he would look more like, since husband and I look so different.


When he was born we were sure he looked like my husband, (as you can see in the above picture taken when Henry was just a few weeks old).  But as the months have gone on, he's changed and there are definitely traits from me in there as well.

We have an outfit that husband wore when he was 5 months old, and today I decided to put Henry in it, so we could see exactly how similar, (or different), they look at the same age.


And then just for fun, I dug out a picture of me when I was around 6 1/2 months old, (it's the closest I could find), to compare as well.


Our conclusion is that he's really just a pretty good mix of the two.  Sometimes it seems he favors one of us over the other, but he definitely has traits of us both.  He for sure has husband's big hands and feet, hairline, and at every single doctors appointment we've had Henry has measured and weighed almost the exact same as husband did at the same age, it's almost eery how close it is!  It's looking like he's going to have dark eyes like me, (maybe not quite as dark, but we'll see!), and he definitely has my cheeks and chin.  We are pretty surprised at how round his little head is though!  I always thought my face was so round, but it's nothing compared to his cute face. 

Definitely should have ironed that collar down!!!

We've also decided that he's way cuter than either of us ever was! haha  Of course the mid 80's Sears portrait studios certainly weren't doing us any favors! ;)   

What do you think?  Is he a pretty good mix of the two, or do you see a little more of one of us?
