Look Alikes

I posted this on Facebook a couple days ago and I asked people what they thought about our two girls. Do they look alike, not look alike, who do they resemble? etc. Well, to say the least, the comments were varying.

Personally, as their mother, I do not think they look anything alike. From the day Sierra was born she has had Brian's eyes, nose, chin, etc. Often times now, when I look at her, I see my mother-in-law Judy (whom Brian looks like a great deal); and at Thanksgiving, when we were home visiting, I saw Brian's Uncle (Judy's brother Dan) and Sierra seriously could be his daughter. So much resemblance!

Chyler on the other hand, looks identical to my baby pictures. She has my elongated face, my eyes, and definitely my nose - can't mistake the "Stank nose." In this picture she looks so much like my Papa Stank (my Dad's father). It is really crazy to me how two children can look so different and even more interesting to me that LOTS of people think they look the same.

It was definitely something that consumed my thoughts often when Chyler was in my womb...who would she look like, will she look like Sierra, etc. I LOVE seeing pictures of the two of them at similar ages and I am even more excited to watch them grow into beautiful, unique INDIVIDUALS! :)

Here is a picture of me at a few months old. Do you see Chyler? I certainly do! She even has the same exact weird shape to her ear that I have on my right ear. And guess what!?! It is also her right ear that is shaped like that! Too funny!
