I dream of Gene-ie

My number one favorite thing about meeting new babies is finding out their names. I consider myself a freelance name-ologist and I find the study of naming trends to be really interesting. Next best is looking at babies and kids and figuring out what parts of their parents they look like. Genetics is fascinating! I love when a kid looks so much like one parent and not at all like the other.

Strangers always tell me that Maude is a mini me, but I really think she is starting to look a lot like Ivan, I have some photo records that really don't support my claims at all.

Here is  a photo of me when I am two with Grandma Lydia (Maude's middlename sake).

And here is Ivan when he was probably around the same age. I realize the sunglasses aren't that helpful, but this is the only photo we have of him!

I realize we kind of have the same hair and eyes, but look at those chubby arms, also I think she has Ivan's nose and mouth and eyebrows (thank the gods!).  Oh genetics magic 8 ball, what does the future hold? Only time will tell my friends, only time will tell.
