ever since bebe was born, she has looked so much like her daddy. she's got his eyes, and as a newborn especially (since newborns' faces, apart from their eyes, are so squishy and hard to make out), the resemblance was striking. multiple people greeted her, when meeting her for the first time, with "well hello, baby josh!"
i was thrilled to have a baby who looked so much like my husband -- after all, i'm pretty partial to the way he looks! and i certainly didn't need her to look like me to know that she is mine. i carried her, i birthed her, and most importantly i mother her every day. but as the months have gone on, more and more people have commented on how much she looks like me. i do still think that she looks a lot like josh, but when we were visiting my parents last weekend we came across a photo of me where i look so much like bebe! my cheeks are much less full, but it's hard to know whether that's an actual difference in our appearance or because i am older than her in this picture (i think i'm about 18 months) so my face had started to thin out.
