When did your baby start to look like themselves?

So, oddly worded question, I know, but DH and I were just talking last night about how we can't see yet what DS is going to look like.  I can't figure out what his face is going to look like as it changes from the baby-faced roundness, no eye definition, etc and morphs into a more mature look.  When does this happen?  I guess it probably varies a lot from child to child, but I was just curious.  (and as always, I love to see pics of your kids if you happen to have "then and now" comparisons)

I think it was always happening but we really noticed that one of the girls looks like a little person as opposed to a baby around 19/20 months. The other still doesn't seem to have lost that baby round face look.

D has this one picture, taken about a couple of weeks ago where he looks like such a little guy. Granted, he needs more hair, but still I can look at that picture and see him being a 5 year old. Plus just recently, he has started being a little ham, like his own personality is showing through! Fun!!!

K has looked the same since day 1. She was rounder in the beginning and now she's lost some of that baby fat, but she still looks exactly the same to me.

What I want to know is what she'll look like once she gets real hair. Like at least enough to frame her face. I'm so curious.

I don't like to post pics here, but we're FB friends so you can check out the photos there. I've got an album for each month of K's life.

I think Toodle already looked like "himself" around 3 months old, albeit a chubbier face. He has pretty distinctive features though. Here's a 3 month pic to compare to his current pic in my siggy.

At 19+ months, I think that LO is getting close to what he'll look like as a non-baby.  Interestingly, while I do see a bit of DH in him, I don't know that he really strongly resembles either of us.

FWIW, here's a picture of LO at about 3 weeks:

I have a picture of Bennett framed on our fireplace hearth from when he was 3 months old. I swear, he has the exact same face now at 2 years old. He never had any baby fat though and always looked like a little old man

We have pictures from when we went to disney when DS was 15 months and I think he looks the same now.  Right next to it is a picture from 4 months and he looks completely different - I think it is his really round face.

Haha, that's his standard expression. We call it his "What the eff is wrong with you people" face.

This is a great question that I wonder about as well. Right now, Ethan looks EXACTLY like me when I was maybe about 6 months or so older than him...half-bald and all (DH wasn't bald as a baby). I'm starting to wonder if he's going to be a mini-me but wondered when he will really settle into his looks.
