Ever since I became a mother, there is one phrase that I hear more often from family and friends alike. It’s not, “congratulations on your new addition” or “you’re a wonderful mother”. No.
The one phrase I have heard so many times, even from complete strangers?
She looks just like her daddy!
Yes. Ok. Thank you. I completely get that if I had not birthed this child, there would be no proof that she is in-fact mine, short of a DNA test. But I did birth her. There were witnesses, seeing things that cannot be unseen, who can attest that she is indeed my kid.
But I am strong enough to admit that it is true. She does look incredibly like her father.

Today I was looking through some older photos from my childhood and I stumbled upon a few where I did see quite a lot of Lilly in my 2-3 year old face. So I am posting them here. As further proof that she is mine, and maybe one day, she will look more like me.

| Me in my bedroom when I was about 3. Side note, I am refinishing this same vanity for Lilly  |

| Lilly a few months ago, playing in moving boxes. |

| Cute little 18 month old me. I had so much hair, so early on! |
 |
| Lilly this past summer at the zoo. She was just over 2 here. |
Side note – if anyone can’t see the resemblance in these photos…keep it to yourself.
I might be grasping at straws here, but if so, I would rather remain blissfully ignorant of that fact.
Ideally speaking, my little darling will grow up with a perfect mix of her father and I, in looks and much more. Just without my hair. I still have bad memories of having those curls brushed… *shudders*
look crystal… no one posted. how many straws you got in your hand?
:p I said keep it to yourself! Lots of people agreed on Facebook!
I’ve got 3, none of them look like me.
And for the record miss Maddy., I think Will is starting to look a lot like you.
She does look A LOT like you!
I see it now for sure!!!
I only have one that looks even a tiny bit like me
Thanks Jody! Though I am going to have to disagree with you. I see quite a bit of you in all the kids…minus Maddie. She looks nothing like you
She is the spitting image of Daddy!
Maddie? serious?
I hear she looks like me LOL
Kaleb and Ali are their Daddy through and through
Hahaha too funny! My oldest looks JUST LIKE her daddy! Strangers constantly tell me how much they look alike! I was lucky enough to get my own “mini me” with my second daughter though!

My sons DH mini me too. Every person tell me this..its ok as he has my personality
