Family Resemblance



This is my niece, Ivy Isabelle. She is one of the cutest kids ever. She is a very content child, and has the funniest little mannerism. I love this girl!

A couple weeks ago my Grandma found these pictures from my childhood, and we were all shocked to realize how much miss Ivy looks like ME when I was a child. Lacey and I get comments about how much we look alike now, but we were quite opposite as children.

Take, for example, this picture of me with my Grandpa and Karl. I was about 1 year old:



And now, Ivy, 14 months:


Can you see the resemblance?

Family Reunion, 1986 - 1 year old


Ivy - Around 9 months



Me, somewhere around 9 months:



Ivy - 1 year:



I never really resembled anybody in my family when I was little, so it was a fun discovery to see that I have a niece that looks a little like me. I am hoping that this means that I will one day have a daughter just like Ivy!

I think it's crazy how much she looks like you. But I also have to say I love the pictures of Karl as a little boy too. I love that boy. :)

Wow - you two DO look a lot alike! What cute pictures (of both of you!). How are things going? How are you feeling? BTW - it looks like we WON'T be coming up for the pumpkin walk. :( But, we'll have to be on the look-out for a good excuse to come up there and visit. :)
