Ah, that's the great puzzle!

Yesterday, in the manner of parents who have nothing better to do than dote on their only child, Warren and I were trying to decide if Diana looks more like a Smith or a Hoggard. Here are some old baby pictures we dug up. Maybe you could help us?

This is Warren with his Grandpa, Thanksgiving 1983:


This is my first birthday, June 1985:


Okay, here's the quiz. Which of these babies look most alike?





Emily
Diana
Warren







Try again. Which of these babies are most similar? Pick 2.





Warren
Diana
Emily





I think the lesson that we learn from this exercise is that photographs lie, and Diana obviously looks like her mother. That's the natural way of things. Mothers and daughters look like each other.

Hahaha! I love it! :)

Hoggards said...

Wow, I should do that with my kids - cause I definitely think that the Hoggard gene is more dominant!!! But that first pic she looks more like warren to me! Either way, she's a cutie!

Wow, that is a great idea! I think Jake would win if I did that with my kids. Even though, I think Phoebe is starting to look like me. Like you said, mothers and daughters look like each other. No offense Warren.

I don't know...I don't look that much like my mom. I think I look equally like both my parents.

Warren said...

When Emily started talking about putting them next to each other, I thought Diana would unquestionably look more like Emily. But, I was wrong.

Well, they say that daughters often look more like fathers so that they don't abandon them. I think that this applies here.
