i know they look similar but i havent seen pics of DH as a baby or even a kid younger than 14 but DS looks like BIL like spitting image and so far DD looks like me all over but shes got time lol
Yeah I've been told about the "spitting image of their father" for the few days/weeks because it went back to the cavemen times or something? If the baby looked like the man then they wouldn't walk out on their woman... so thats where it stems from.
Its true in the case for all my children - at BIRTH they were the spitting image of DH, now they pretty much all look like me.. LOL.. (poor buggers) Especially DD2, she's my spitting image of what I looked like as a baby.
Everyone says DD1 looks like me, but its just her eyes (they all got my brown eyes). When you see photo's of her & DH at the same age they are identical. I had people (his brother's family) pull me out in the street saying 'that's A's baby!' when they'd never met me! (They were both bald til they were 3 )
DD2 looks more like a mix of both our sisters & DS looks like a mix of DH, my dad & my brother.
DD3 looks more like DD1 & DS, but I'm hoping she's a brunette, coz DD2 might start to wonder, lol
When DS1 was born apparently my MIL said he was the spitting image of my BIL!!!
I was under so much medication I didnt really get to have a good look at him til the next day and by then he looked like hubby from nose upwards but me nose downwards because of his little bum chin lol! now looking at him nearly 2 years later he has my rounder face, my blue eyes, stumpy legs and great skin but he has hubbys ears and thats about it lol!
DS2 when born looked like me with the round face and again bum chin but he also has his dad's ears again but he also has his dads long body which is different to DS1.
MIL was happy to describe him as another BIL look alike stupid woman!
Nothing like a cuddle from DD after a hard day's work!

Theres a chinese saying that teh first daughter always looks like your brother. My DD was a spitting image of my brother and even my mum couldnt tell them apart when i pulled out a pic of him and pretended it was my daughter lol
but in answer to the question....not around these parts!
My kids are a perfect matching pair and the spit out of my mouth. DH doesn't nor has he ever gotten a look in.
My DD arrived looking like the spitting image of her uncle, DH's brother lol now she just looks like a bit of all of us. But if you talk to my MIL every little feature and habit is completely from her side of the family....
DH didn't get a look in with Sam at birth. From the minute he was born you'd call him a clone of me apart from the gender issue!
I sometimes freak out when I look at him and see myself from my baby photos in him - it's really weird, but certain facial expressions are like I'm looking at my baby photos again and it is really, really weird at times.
The only way DH appears in Sam is personality. Sam is me all over in looks and completely DH in personality. Better than being the reverse - I don't think I'd do well with a control-freak stress-head toddler!
My DD1 looked like my DH when born but now looks like me my DS looked just like DH but has my skinny build and my DD2 is the spitting image of her dad in everyway right upto his massive head she has only just grown into her head it was 37cm at birth the peditrician thought her head was odd until he measure my DH head then laughed
