Seven months old, take two
Alice marked 7 months today with a bagel. (Also with a veggie pancake, lentils and rice, tofu, chicken and squash, and breastmilk. The girl can eat.)
Back on a cold December day in 2005, Edith also marked 7 months with a bagel (though we were poorer photographers then).
Both children are/were good sitters at 7 months. Edith had hair; Alice has teeth. Toothless Edith just played with the bagel as a toy; Alice consumed a large chunk of it. Hair, teeth and photographer's skills aside, their pictures at this age don't look much alike to me. Anyone else?

In direct comparison, I don't think they look much alike. But as I was looking at the pictures of Alice (and before I realized that there were pictures of Edith), the second one, with the bagel in her mouth, made me think, "Oh, there's a resemblance to Edith!"
Do you see them taking after different sides of the family? Or just different from one another?
Hair can really throw a point of view I think -- color or amount and you think they are different.
But, besides that, I saw similarities in their smiles (chin area) and maybe face structure/shape. Definitely related although not replicas. I think the biggest difference (besides hair) is Alice's amazingly beautiful wide blue eyes (although if the coloring of the other picture was better, maybe it would not be so different?)
My girls' recent pictures (on the latest blog post) is probably the first time I thought they looked possibly a lot alike... the rest of the time I don't think they do at all... but the coloring throws me.
Okay, my take - having three adult daughters? I think they look very much alike. It will probably become more pronounced as they get older. My daughters look very different. One blonde, one medium brown and one chestnut - with skin tones to match. Two blue eyes and one hazel. But...everywhere they go people say - oh, you are a "Sada" girl. And I bet one day Edith and Alice will get the same thing. I think Edith looks a lot like her Grandma. They are enough alike to know they are sisters but then have differences as well - which is good because then they are individuals as well. :)
