Mirror, Mirror...

I've always been amazed by the need for people to identify who babies look like.  Now, if your child truly looks shockingly like your husband, yeah, I can understand the comments.  But I've never understood when EVERYONE, and I mean everyone, says that each of my children look like Braden.  How is that possible when a) my children don't look like each other, b) they are referring to the adult Braden, not him as a child, and c) I had a major part in this creation process?!

So, here's some evidence that my children do indeed look like me.  As well as the fact that Taryn does indeed look just like her daddy...when he was a child.  Be prepared to be shocked.

Here's me as a baby:
Here's my Avery Goose:


And no, it's not just bald part...

And here's Braden as a kid (none of our kids look like him as a baby):



And here's Taryn (it was next to impossible to find one of Taryn NOT smiling...she definitely doesn't get her constant smiles from her look-alike):

It's the eyes...and the head, and the hair, and the face, and the...

Notice, there are no comparisons with Keara.  That's because I think she's a perfect blend.  She takes after my family in her body and has my eyes (like Avery), but she has Braden's mouth and nose (like Taryn).

What do YOU think?

I think Avery looks like the newspaper delivery guy, don't you? JUST KIDDING!!!!!! Don't get all offended now, it's just me were're talking about. :) I LOVE this post...I need to find some pictures of me and John as babies and do the same thing! LOVE it! And Avery doesn't look like a random guy...just a Moore. :) Miss you!!

So cute and yes I think you're right on about who they look like! It's funny because everyone including me thinks Adam looks like a mini Gregg. But it's the adult Gregg, he really doesn't look anything like him as a child or me as a child for that matter! :)

I still can see Braden in Avery's pics more than I can see you in them. Maybe because I knew you as a baby. When you sent out her first pictures, both Chris and I said "she looks like Braden" (yes ADULT Braden)
