Running from the Law: Yes Sir, That's My Baby

Yes Sir, That's My Baby

We spent this past weekend with my parents, which inevitably leads to some fun conversations comparing my kids to my brothers and I when we were children.  I love hearing stories about how ornery we all were and how Mac and Mim take after my side of the family.  I like thinking that Marion looks like me as a baby and Mac looks just like my brother Tim.  However, Ryan's parents came over last night to hang out with Mac and they both made comments about just how much he looked and acted exactly like Ryan.  Ditto for Mim.  Which got me thinking...who's right?  Who do they look like?  So, I dug out some old photos of Ryan and myself and tried to find a few of the kids that would prove once and for all who they take after.  Here are the results:

Ryan  --  Mac (below)

Sara -- Mac

Ryan -- Mac

Sara -- Mac


Ryan -- Mac

Sara -- Mac

Ryan -- Mac

Sara  -- Mim (below)

Ryan -- Mim 

Sara -- Mim


Ryan -- Mim

And now I'm even more confused than ever.  
Who do they look like?  I see both. 
And the debate continues...

  1. I've been wanting to a comparison post like this for ages but Im so lazy when it comes to physical photos lol. They really do resemble you both! As soon as I thought I had it figured out, the next set of photos changed my mind, again. How fun would it be to do this every year?!

  4. Oh gosh! I see both of you in both kiddos. Some pictures I see one parent over the other, but for the most part I think Mac & Mom are a great mix of both you & Ryan!

  5. Love all the comparison photos! It's crazy how much both of your kids look like both you AND your husband. They really do. I honestly can't pick who they look more like. Perfect mix of both of you, I say! :)

  6. I think they physically look like you. I think they have similar expressions (and maybe personality) to your husband which makes them resemble him. I feel this is the case with my son too. Appearance why he looks like me and my side of the family, but so often he will make a face or expression that totally reminds me of my husband. I've learned regardless that each side of the family or friends will see things on the kid that makes them think they are the spitting image, even if they aren't. My mom likes to say they just look like themselves instead of constantly comparing ;)

  9. This was so fun to see. I'd have to say they both resemble you, but I'm sure their little in-person personalities remind Ryan's family of him. My little boy is a spitting image of my husband at that age and my daughter looks so much like me. This was a fun post.

  10. I think they each have similarities from both you and Ryan, but I think Mac looks more like Ryan and Mim looks more like you.

  13. Whenever I do this with my kids, I always come to the conclusion that Nate and I must have looked alike as babies or something. Because I can see the resemblence in us both with all 3 kids.

    Also, Mac is totally your husband and Mim is totally you, duh ;)

  15. Oh my gosh!!! Well if I had a feeling either way before, I'm more confused than ever now! lol. I think they both look like both of you, which I know is no help. But seriously, you did an excellent job matching up your baby pictures with your kids! The expressions are spot on!

  16. I think that Mac looks just like his daddy. No doubt about it! I mean, I can see some of you in him but it's mostly Ryan. As for Mim, I'm not sure, I'd like to lean more towards you.

    How fun. :)

  17. I freaking love comparison posts. I need to dig up some pics of Scott and myself and do something like this.
    Your kiddos are the perfect blend of both you and Ryan. *However*, I see a bit more Ryan in Mac, and a smidge more you in Mim.

  27. That one picture of you and mim with the scrunched up nose- could be the same baby. :) So I think she looks more like you! But Mac looks like a mix of both of you.
