70s Flashback
There is much debate in this house about who Mila most resembles. Because I like you, let me just make sure you know one thing -- Mila does NOT look like Alexis. Period. End of story. Saying otherwise to the resident 8-year old is risky. She may glare at you, in which case, good for you. Her usual punishment for suggesting such a horrifying thing is much, much worse.
She knows all of the lyrics to pretty much every annoying pop song ever. Keep that in mind before you decide to gamble with your life.
(Personally, I see similarities between the two of them, but they really don't look alike. They look like they're related, sure, but not the same.)
Curiosity led me to pull out some old photos, which turned out to be Alexis' most favorite thing of all time. She started by looking at a baby photo of the husband.
We've established that Alexis is a smart ass, right? Because she is. As soon as she was done gushing about how much she looks like him (she does), she blurted out, "Mom, dad is so old that his baby photo is from before there were color photos!"
I have no comment on that. Ahem.
Then it was time to dig out a photo of me.
First of all, I'd like to smack that photographer around a little bit. Don't take photos of babies from that angle, mmkay? You won't ever wonder if there were any bears in that newborn cave. Straight on is a better, less-up-the-nose-tacular angle.
Secondly, full color! Ahem.
Lastly, the jury is still out on whether or not Mila looks like me.
But the jury is quite certain that matching sweaters are a terrible idea.

that picture is so funny . and by the way what are you doing with your lip.....too cute!
It's not exact, but you definitely bear a resemblance to your mom! Love the "old" photos.
You seriously look like your mother!
Mila may or may not look like her Mom, but someone else certainly looks like their Mom...
I'll have to scan in more photos of my mom because that's the only one where there's any resemblance at all. A weird angle or something.
Gotta agree with everyone: you look like your mom in that picture.
And yes: Mila looks like baby you! And Alexis totally looks like baby Wayne. Spittin' image.
Also: HAAAA to Alexis' comment. She's a keeper.
I always say that a baby's features are not set until they are 2. Way too often you look at them and they look like one parent, then they look like Grandpa, then they look like the other parent then you look at them again and they look like Great Grandma Jones' cousin's uncle.
And yes, you can tell the two girls are related but they are beautiful in their own ways. you make beautiful children.
Matching sweaters are a bad idea in any decade.
No, the jury is wrong. Those sweaters are amazing. and you need to recreate those photos immediately. FIND THOSE SWEATERS
i gotta disagree with you...those matching sweater are fanfuckingtastic!
