Mirror Mirror....

Everyone is always telling me how you can tell a (insert our last name) Baby Girl. Apparently our combined DNA makes the same look over and over again. Or so they say...

Here's Raegan and Charis...





















There are truly pictures that I wouldn't know which was which between these two if it weren't for the decor of the room. For instance...if the picture was taken in our first house, it's obviously Charis. If it weren't for that...both Jet and I would be stumped on some pics.


Here's Selah and Raegan...



















Same with these two. There are some pictures, if angled just right, confuse the heck out of me.

But when it comes down to it...I think that Raegan is actually a complete combination of the two older sisters. The missing link in their sisterly looks. For she has some of Selah's features and some of Charis's. I actually have pictures of them where the similiarity is more obvious. But I'm soo not into pulling out all those pictures, scanning them, and such just for a blog. I'm lazy that way. :)

And the combined look of the two oldest sisters makes for a little girl so ADORABLE I can hardly stand it!!

She's 7 months old and determined as ever. Climbing stairs, saying Mama and Dada, walking around while hanging onto furniture...and her newest talent: she whistles.

Just like our musically talented Selah who whistled this early as well... I look forward to one day hearing all three of my girls singing together. Having, what I would imagine to be, a very tight harmony.

You can always tell when you have a THIRD child. The look is no longer compared to the parents, but instead to the siblings, eh? :) But as much as I enjoy their similiarities...I love their differences. I have a feeling our lives will never be boring with these three running around.

Oh...I can hardly stand it either. Gotta love those little faces.

My three are total opposites...NO ONE knows they are related!

Your girls do look alike as baby's, but I think they have their own look as they grow. There is no denying that they are sisters though. My boys don't look very much alike, and my little blondie, can't figure her out... but we'll keep her anyway. ;)
I wanna hear her whistle! That needs to be a post too! :)

Val-I completely agree that C and S look very different!! While other people ask me if they're twins?!! eh?

But I'm excited to see what R looks like as an "older" girl b/c I do think she'll be the "link" between their looks. I love having three little girls...so fun! :)

Here's my two cents worth...I think Selah has the most distinctive look, and Raegan looks more like Charis. But definitely there are similarities all the way around.

I know exactly what you mean about needing to identify who is who in baby pictures by other things in the photo, like furniture, carpeting, etc. We do the same with Josiah and David! Not that I think they look so much alike, but at the infant stage they were more similar.

Anyway, all your girls are as cute as can be. Of course, they are...they have you for a mom! :)

So funny you mention this. Just today I was holding up pictures of K5's sisters to see which one/s she looks like. At the moment only one of my girls has brown eyes and brown hair. She definatly looks unique but still looks like she is a "sister". I think that K5 might take on that brown eyed girl look. I think seeing them evolve is just amazing!

Oh yes, they do look so much alike! My son and brother look nearly identical in their baby pictures. They even have the same temperment, interests, etc. DNA is weird. ~Karlie
