All in the family

Having a new baby to gaze at all day makes me think about who Brayton most resembles. The concensus is that he looks like Abigail (so, Dahlia) with a twinkle of Maddie in his eyes (so, Jeremy). Unfortunately, we only have a handful of photos of Jeremy and none of them are of him as an infant (long, sad story about that). So I found pictures of myself to compare the girls to. It's so neat to see resemblances and differences between us. Jeremy and I both think the kids are all much, much cuter than I was at their ages. I'm so happy about that.

Those babies are so cute!!! Don't you just want to nibble on them??? Enjoy it. It goes so quickly. Soon they'll be giant and you'll wonder where the time went.

Wow! There are a lot of resemblances! I can't believe how much the girls look like you! I think they all have their own unique look as babies though. What cute kids!!

The resemblance is uncanny, but I can see the difference. All of you are beautiful. I think the fact that you have pictures to compare is exciting ... my story ends the same way as Jeremy's = VERY few pictures. Thanks for sharing!

What are you talking about...you were a cute kiddo! And all your kiddos and just adorable. I too see the resemblances, but they all do look different. We sure miss you guys and your beautiful family!

It's funny what you see in little faces. When I see Maddie, I see you Dahlia. Which is kind of funny because I think Vaughn and Maddie have many similar features...huh? When I see Abbie, I see all Dee, especially when she smiles. When I look at the first pictures of Brayton, I see all the O'Neil boys so Jeremy. Wish I could know what they looked as babies too but at least Jeremy was a cute baby. Dee says Kelly was ugly so hope my kids don't follow in that. Hee Hee.

SO fun Daliah! I love comparing kids pictures. Can I come hold him this week? I'm finally not sick anymore:)

WOW the resemblance is amazing, between the kids and between you. I gotta agree though, Brayton and Abbie looks a lot alike. Still they are all adorable and growing up so fast! Give them all hugs and kisses from Aunt Melissa please. Miss you guys.
