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...
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?!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute! I think Mim looks just like you!
ReplyDeleteI see both of you in both of them! I would be confused too!
ReplyDeleteOh 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!
ReplyDeleteLove 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! :)
ReplyDeleteI 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 ;)
ReplyDeleteI see both too...either way CUTE!
ReplyDeleteThat is hard! I think they are a perfect mix of both of you! Precious babes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! I see you all the way!!!
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteI think they each have similarities from both you and Ryan, but I think Mac looks more like Ryan and Mim looks more like you.
ReplyDeleteWow, great comparisons. They both look so much like both of you!
ReplyDeleteYou found such amazing comparison photos! I definitely see both too
ReplyDeleteWhenever 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.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Mac is totally your husband and Mim is totally you, duh ;)
The babes are definitely the perfect blend of both of you!!
ReplyDeleteOh 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteHow fun. :)
I freaking love comparison posts. I need to dig up some pics of Scott and myself and do something like this.
ReplyDeleteYour 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.
Oh my goodness I love this! I see so much of both of you I just can't decide!
ReplyDeleteLove this post, they're the perfect blend of both of you!
ReplyDeleteI love comparison posts like this! I think they both look like you!
ReplyDeleteTotally both!! I like Mac looks more and more like you as he gets older. Either way the verdict is pretty stinkin' cute!!
ReplyDeleteOk they both take after both of you guys SO much! I kept thinking ok Mac/Mim looks like Ryan wait no it looks like Sara wait no... over and over. So cute though! I love seeing all these cute baby pictures though! You were all so cute!!

Holy Moly!!! Every time I'd go to say I think Mac looks like Ryan than I'd look at the next on with you and change my mind. The same with Mim. They are such a great combo of both of you. Adorable pictures!!
ReplyDeleteAll I can think about is how much time this must have taken! lol ;) but I love it!
ReplyDeleteMim is ALLL YOU!! I think Mac is a perfect mix - your eyes, Ryan's nose? Love this!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Mac and Mim are the greatest mix of each of you! Such a great post! Xo, Stephanie
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
