Comparison

Ever since Elliot was born I have been trying to figure out who she looks like. As a newborn, I didn't think she looked like either one of us. And up to 12 months I thought she looked exactly like Lane. Not that she resembled his baby pictures or anything, but I just saw him when I looked at her. Now that she's almost 2, I'm back to neutral again. I finally dug up some of my old photos & scanned them into my computer. I tried to pick the ones of me that I felt reminded me of Elliot. I also have one of Lane, but he's a bit younger than she is in his picture. Anyway, for your viewing pleasure...

She looks a little like you. Honestly though, I think Eleanor looks a lot like you. She had that bathing suit on today that was in that picture. I think it is the hair.

I was going to say that Eleanor looks like you too! In these pictures, she looks like you, nothing like Lane. But for some reason when I look at her in person...I see Lane!! So strange!

WOW, I think she looks a lot like you!!!! Nothing like Lane in those pictures. I've always thought neutral as well all this time, but I see it with your pictures now. It's so fun to compare baby/kid pictures as that is when you can really see the resemblance. Everyone has ALWAYS said that both kids look like Jason, but when we pulled out our baby/kid pictures they resembled me more. I guess it's the hair and eye color that throws everyone off as the kids have blond hair and green and blue eyes. My mother-in-law used to joke that when people see me with the kids in the grocery store that they may think I kidnapped the kids! :)

Elliot's hair looks lighter since we've seen her last. I can see some of you, but at this age she looks a lot like Lane's baby picture.

I've always thought she looks like Lane. Especially when you post pictures of the two of them together! But she's not totally him either. I honestly think she's a really good mix of both of you. Maybe she just has Lane's eyes?

Jalei, I hate to break it to you but that bottom picture is Hunter. I am like 99.9% sure. Either way, I think the pictures you picked out do resemble Elliot. So maybe she is a good mix. I need to see if I have any of Lane. The problem is they would be when he is older than 4 since he is 4 years older than me.

I think she looks more like you. Have you started potty training? How is that going?
