If one more person, especially my MIL, says R. looks "just like his dad!", I think I might scream. He does, of course, resemble his dad. Of course, he also resembles me. That's how this genetics thing works. In the end, he will look a bit like each of us -- but mostly like himself.
PLUS, um, well -- he's a mostly bald baby and his dad is a mostly bald man. So, yeah, they have that in common. :-D
I don't know if people feel the need to say that because he's a boy, but it stings sometimes. I am the one who carried him for 9+ months, after all. He's mine, too, darnit!
Have any of you run into this?

Neither DH nor I have photos of ourselves as newborns, so it would be fun to compare those side-by-side, if we can find some at our folks' houses.

DH and I are both irish with a bit of different Western European ancestry, so a lot of the same "looks" are going to be seen on both sides.
TTC since 11/2009; Lap/HSG/Hysteroscopy: 5/2011 (endometriosis - removed; endocervical polyp - removed; high pressure in bilateral tubes - cleared)

The funnier thing is DS1 had blonde hair as a baby & DS2 had black. It looks like they will both have curly hair too...DH had straight hair. DH has blue eyes...neither kid has blue eyes. DS2 has dark brown like me.
first son stillborn 7/20/13 at 39 weeks due to Acute Fatty Liver of Pregnancy
It's a girl! Baby Anna was born August 3, 2014!
DS2 at this point doesn't look as much like DH. He definitely has more features from my side but as he fills in he's starting to look more like DS1 did as a baby so I think they'll look similar ultimately.
