Mom or Dad?

The whole time I was pregnant we joked round about how Eli would come out looking exactly like Luke. It only seemed obvious that Luke's dark features would take over and we would have a brown eyed, dark haired baby. And it seemed that it was confirmed when the ultrasound tech claimed to have seen a baby in my womb with a head full of hair.

So imagine our shock and amusement when that baby came out with blue eyes and light (almost blonde) hair. When Eli was first born everybody said he looked just like me, but as time has gone on more people say they think he looks like Luke.

When I was home for Christmas I got a picture of Luke as a baby so I thought it would be fun to do a picture comparison. I tried to get pictures of us from around the same age.

Here is Eli:



Then Luke:

Then Me:

What do you think?

    My little Indian baby was supposed to have my dark, thick hair and dark eyes too. However, he has crystal blue eyes, lighter skin, and hair that is gradually getting darker. And! Everyone said he looked like his daddy at first but now everyone says he is looking like his momma... Eli looks like Luke to me. I just love little Eli's picture because they remind me so much of Wyatt. It's that quarter Indian in them! Haha :)

    He is definitely a 'blender baby'.50% you (your coloring) and 50% his papa (except for the coloring and the amount of hair,he looks just like Luke!).

    Either way,he's absolutely adorable!

    I think he looks so much like you! Also, could Luke as a baby look any more like he does now??? Too funny! I would recognize him as a baby anywhere!

    First off you have one of the most adorable babies out there. And no, I don't say that to everyone. There are funny looking kids out there.

    Second, I think from baby pics alone he looks more like Luke.

    He is super cute that is for sure!! I used to think he looked so much like you, but after seeing Luke's baby pic I think he looks a lot like Luke too. Definitely a good mix!

    He has your coloring but I think the shape of his face/eyes/nose look so much like Luke! Either way, he's GORGEOUS. Stop giving me baby fever, I am NOT in the position to have a baby right now. Especially since I'm not married.
