Ooh this looks like fun!

Eyes: his - beautiful green compared to my murky brown!

Nose: his - better slope

Hair: mine - thicker, better color, although both are brown

Sense of humor: mine! my husband can be snarky but I'm much quicker and wittier.

Intelligence: his! he's the brains of this operation.

Sense of direction: google? neither of us are all that great at directions...

Work ethic: his! one of the things I admire most about DH is his work ethic. He gets ish done!

Level of comfort in a new situation: me - I'm much better about meeting new people and handling change.

Level of outgoing ness: me - again, more friendly, although neither of us are extroverts

Athletic ability: neither? we both suck at sports, although we hit the gym very regularly. I'd still hope for my children to actually enjoy exercise.

Book smarts: mine - he did very well in school because of that noggin of his. I'm more book learned and I hope it's a skill I can pass on

Street smarts: LOL just imaging passing on either of street smarts is laughable. Here's hoping s/he inherits something from her aunt!

wanderingtx

Ohhh this looks fun!

Eyes: Mine for color, his for function. I can't see without contacts in, and he claims he is better than 20/20. Is that possible?

Nose: His.

Hair: His. I have out of control curls that I grew up hating, and still hate, now just torture with hot tools on the daily.

Sense of humor: Mine. 

Intelligence: His, or both. I consider us both pretty intelligent.

Sense of direction: His, I get lost driving home from work some days.

Work ethic: His. I would rather park it on the couch.

Level of comfort in a new situation: Mine, although we can both be super awkward.

Level of outgoing ness: His.

Athletic ability: His, by far. He was a collegiate athlete and his job now demands him to be in shape. I'm currently eating chocolate in bed...

Book smarts: Mine. I OWNED standardized tests and college entrance exams.

Street smarts: His.

Can I add teeth/dental? Is that hereditary? I had awful teeth as a child, huge gaps everywhere, including between my front teeth, and several missing teeth (they never came in). Thousands of dollars in dental work later, and I still look like my teeth belong to a child. His are perfect, no work.

edit: words are hard, spelling is rough.

BakerBird525

Ouu, fun!

Eyes: His (especially his lashes!)

Nose: Mine

Hair: Hmm...probably his. It's pretty thick. And mine is thinning and greying.

Sense of humor: A mix of both. I'm sarcastic, he's corny.

Intelligence: His, I'm always impressed by how much he absorbs and remembers.

Sense of direction: Mine! Even with GPS, he misses exits and turns...

Work ethic: Uhhh....we both get our jobs done, but probably his since he actually likes his job, and I...don't.

Level of comfort in a new situation: His, for sure.

Level of outgoing ness: His, he can talk to anyone right away. I'm really shy.

Athletic ability: Mine, since DH doesn't work out at all...yet will always lose weight faster.

Book smarts: His, even though all his reading takes place in the bathroom...haha

Street smarts: Mine, for sure. Public commuting and working in the city surrounded by homeless people for over 6 years helps with that.

My Chart

Christal161

Eyes: obviously my SO (He's Asian decent and that's a dominant gene) but I did notice our first has lighter eyes then his, I have super light brown eyes so maybe the mix helped lighten them up. Nose: my nose, my SO's nose is quite big lol Hair: I would like our second to have my hair, my 1st LO's hair is soo crazy (asian gene) and it's always sticking out. Sense of humor: His I guess. I do have a good sense of humor but can get offended depending some subject. Intelligence: His. Sense of direction: mine Work ethic: both, we're great workers and get our job done!

Edit : I'm mobile! My paragraphs aren't doing what I want them to do!

SmallDogM0M209

Eyes: Either for color we have similar color blue eyes... mine for vision, he has terrible eyesight and requires glasses/contacts

Nose: Mine

Hair: Probably mine. I (along with all the women in my family) have a ton of think hair that people complement on on the time.  But he has a good head of hair for a 35 y/o man, so either would be fine.

I think you mean you DH's genes?  I don't think Asians as a race have crazy hair.  I certainly do not.

juliebeannn

Eyes: either

Nose: boy: either, girl: me -- DH has very masculine features

Hair: DH has had his hair shaved for the entire time I've known him, but when it grows in, it's really thick.  So, his, I think.

Sense of humor: We both have similar sense of humor.  Weird humor.  It works

Intelligence: I always tell him that I'm "smarter" but he's "wiser".  I hope our future LO gets a mix of both.

Sense of direction: We're both pretty good with direction but DH is better, so DH. 

Work ethic: I'm a better planner while DH is better at executing those plans haha -- so, a mix of both!

Level of comfort in a new situation: DH

Level of outgoing ness: Either.  DH is more of an extrovert and I grow more introverted as I get older.  Whichever LO grows to be is fine by us.

Athletic ability: DH

Book smarts: Either

Street smarts: Either

Sorry! Yes. I just assumed as most of his family have "extreme" hair. Even his mother would say "it's the asian gene". Should of said "quote my MIL"

Eyes: Mine (his would work too, but I typically get a lot of random complements about mine so I'm kinda biased )
Nose: Mine
Hair: His
Sense of humor: Mine
Intelligence: His
Sense of direction: His
Work ethic: Either
Level of comfort in a new situation: His for sure. I'm always awkward and anxious in new situations.

mrlight

Eyes: His; Gotta love those big baby blues with long lashes!

Nose: Mine

Hair: Mine; His entire family has thin, hair board-straight hair. I have dark, thick, voluptuous hair. 

Sense of humor: His

Intelligence: Either one

Sense of direction: Mine

Work ethic: Mine; He has a strong work ethic, but he suffers from ADHD and that really affects his productivity.  (Sometimes, he does a lot without getting a lot done.) (Sidenote, he does take medication, and he's finally found one that really works for him.  As long as he takes it he is fine.)

Level of comfort in a new situation: His! I am such a homebody!  Luckily, we are from the same hometown, because I really hate being too far from home!

Level of outgoingness: Both.  I am more outgoing in professional environments (such as a networking event); however, he is more outgoing in social environments (such as talking to random people in the bar).

Athletic ability: His for sure!  His entire family is really talented.

Book smarts: Mine.  He is really intelligent, but I have an easier time studying and reading than he does due to his ADHD.

Street smarts: His. A perfect example of why, when we were in Jamaica, the cab driver asked if we smoked.  I smoked cigarettes at the time, so I said, 'yes' and offered him one.  He declined it. My husband later explained the cab driver was not asking if we smoked cigarettes.
