Now & Then...

Who does she look like? 

Oh, I see Darcy...Sophie...Drew...Jack...

Definitely a H baby, she looks just like all the rest!

Since little Lucy has joined our family, I hear sweet comments like this every day. Everyone wants to know who she looks like, whose eyes, whose nose, whose chin...I find it so fascinating how a baby's looks can change so quickly...and also how you can "see" different people in every new expression. So, I thought it would be fun to take a little stroll down memory lane...

Can you figure out who's who???
(Don't scroll down to look at all of them first, try to guess as you are going along!)

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Aw, I love the puffy faced newborn look! The red cheeks, the sweet noses, eyes shut tight as if trying to block out this harsh new world & imagine life back in the cozy womb.

Okay, so did you guess correctly? I know the blankets/hats can be a bit of a giveaway...if I had been thinking when we had our first baby some 9 years ago, I would have done a picture with a little white had & plain white blanket...but I never imagined then that we would now have 5 sweet ones to compare! What precious blessings!
Okay, drumroll please....

The answers are:
1. Darcy
2. Jack
3. Sophie
4. Drew
5. Lucy

How'd you do?

Just for fun, here are some newborn/infant pics of each of the kids...it is fun to look back & include some of these oldie but goodies on the blog!

JACK

Jack, one month

Such a happy little fella

We haven't had any "baldies" but Jack probably had the least hair out of everyone.

SOPHIE

 And Sophie had the most hair at birth! A full head of beautiful dark brown hair!

 Proud big brother...Jack actually reminds me a lot of Drew here

 3 weeks old

 Drew wears those (greatly faded) PJs now & Lucy wears the sleep gown...I keep meaning to recreate this picture!

 Sophie has always been very expressive!

 I think Sophie looks a lot like Lucy in this picture

Our happy Sophie-girl!

DARCY

At over 9 pounds, Darcy was our biggest baby!

 Darcy also had quite a bit of hair, but not quite as dark as Sophie's

Darcy was our first baby born here in NC, so it was the first time the grandparents got to visit right away at the hospital!

 Lots of love for a new baby sister!

Look at that double chin!

 I have always thought this picture (above) looks nothing like any of our kids! I must have caught Darcy making a weird face!

 This looks more like Lucy

 At 2 months Darcy was a chunky monkey!

Beauty sleep

Sweetness!

DREW

 The Thinker

Proud big brother, so thankful to have a brother now!

 Born 3 weeks early, Drew was our little peanut at seven & a half pounds.

 Wonder & joy

Darcy is proud to be the big sister!!

 Drew also had a lot of hair & it was BLONDE from birth, go figure!!

 Such a little shrimp!

 Several of the kids have had this little mohawk going on...I think it was cutest on Drew!

 Drew chunked up just like the rest of them!

 Sweet cheeks!

 Another happy guy!

LUCY
(A lot of these were taken with my phone, so I know the picture quality isn't the greatest on some.)

So snug!

Relaxed!

Happy!

Serious

Sweet as can be!

Here Lucy reminds me a lot of Jack

Our only thumb-sucker to date!

Doesn't really matter who she looks like...she's definitely our little cutie-pie!
