Will she be a mini-me?

I finally have in my possession one of my all-time favorite pictures:

adam monica 1982

I was probably a few months shy of three in this shot; my brother Adam, a few months shy of one.  This was actually the shot I mentioned that I wished I’d had back in June when I did my Million Dollar Smile post.

Seth looked more like my side of the family when he was teeny-tiny, but as he’s grown into his looks, I see more and more of his daddy’s genes popping through.  It’s hard to imagine that Duncan would have looked different than Seth; I mean, I know he would have looked uniquely like Duncan, but I can’t help but think he would have shared traits with Seth that would leave little doubt as to their brotherhood.

But I’ve started to wonder who Baby Girl will take after; if she will be the child that gets Jim’s towhead curls and blue eyes, or if she, too, like her brothers, will have my darker coloring and stick-straight hair?

I guess only time will tell.  For now, it’s enough to dream.
