I have a theory. When babies are born they look a little less like tiny humans and a little more like something from another planet. So really, it's hard to say who they look like right away. After their travel through the birth canal they are often puffy and discolored. So, since you can't really tell, I think people say they look like the parent of the same sex. If it's a boy they automatically say "He looks like Daddy" and visa versa. After Ethan was born, I heard a lot of comments like "Adam, he looks just like you!" At that point I couldn't tell who he looked like at all. However, as days pass it is quite obvious. Whether Ethan will grow up to look like Adam or me, only time will tell, but for now, I would say he looks just like his mamma!
From this wide eyed look of shock...
to the filipino nose, right down to the point on our ears.
We were even both blessed with really bad cases of baby acne! But I'll spare Ethan the shame of sharing those photos...for now.
