Family Resemblance

While I was pregnant, we would talk about what we thought Bo would look like. Bethany said she hoped he would have pink hair (so glad that didn't happen!) and Brooke said she wanted him to look just like her. I joked that after having a Little Rob and a Little Missy, he would probably be a mut, with a mix of both our features.



The conversation of 'who does Bo look like?' has continued since the minute we saw him. I caught a quick glimpse of him before he was taken out of the operating room to be put on oxygen, and my first thought was that he looked like Brooke. All I saw was his dark hair and wrinkly forehead, and instantly pictured Brooke as a baby. Here she was at 6 weeks:


When they finally brought him to my room (about 4 hours later) I took one look at him and decided he looked just like Bethany! He had her fuzzy hair, light eyebrows, tiny mouth and the exact same nose. Here she was at 6 weeks:


I'm pretty sure we got our mut (but he's the cutest little mut I've ever seen!). He has Brooke's eyes and forehead, and so far seems to have a similar personality as well. Pretty much everything else reminds me of Bethany, but every now and then I look at him and see nothing but Rob-so weird since Bethany and Rob look nothing alike. Here is baby Bo earlier this morning, at exactly 6 weeks:

Look at you blogging! Go girl! He does resemble both of them and I agree he is the cutest little mutt:) Sophie had the same dress Brooke has on in her 6 week pic.

Wow - he really does have Brooke's eyes! There is a huge resemblence in their 6 week pic's. I can wait to see if he really has her personality.... if he starts to line the ducks up across the floor in a perfectly straight line be sure to mess them up real quick so he can get used to disorder! :)
