My daughter Joey, two years and five months ago:
My son Linus, last night:
Genes sure are something, huh?
That’s incredible, isn’t it? My three brothers and I are almost
indistinguishible in our baby pictures.
P.S., Adorable, the pair of 'em!
P.P.S., Did you do some redeye removal, or just eschew the flash
altogether? Or do those huge, blue eyes just make the pupals look
incredibly dialated?
I did some redeye removal.
Beauty duplicated.
We have photos of eldest DD and youngest DD in the same dress and similar rocking horses … I have to identify the rocking horse to tell which child is which.
edited to add: They were each about three years old at the time the photos were taken. They have always looked like siblings, but that year or so in their ages was amazing in how nearly identical they looked.
Twins! We had a boy first, then a girl two years later. When our daughter was born, as soon as I saw her head pop out, I was 100% “sure” it was a boy because the face looked identical to her brother’s. When the doctor announced she was indeed a girl, I had to peek to double-check.
Enjoy, Jessie.

Well, I do have pictures that I didn’t (and won’t) show. My mom took pictures at both deliveries. There are almost identical shots of each of them coming out of me (head sticking out). It’s the same face. The only difference is that she was pinkish and he was blusih (cord around his neck). They got him to be pinkish pretty quickly.
it sure will be fun to see how they are different and how they are the same as they grow up.
Amazing!
And so CUTE!
Aww!
Nate and Noah were almost identical at birth, too.
Born 4 years and 3 days apart, both 21", Nate 7lb7oz, Noah 7lb, 14oz (he was 2 weeks overdue).
I have to look at the back of the picture to tell who’s who.
By 3 months of age they looked totally different, and by 7 or 8 months (when they started getting hair back) they REALLY look different - Nate has always had dark hair, Noah was blond.
Scary! I’m amazed that your mom had the presence of mind to keep snapping pics…
Designated Drivers?
Diapered Divas? Delightful Diminutives? Nah… Dear Daughters!
There are three classes of baby looks –
-
- Cherubic
- Conehead
- Winston Churchill
Be glad you got a couple of 1s.
(And you people who have your babies one at a time are bunch of slackers. All of you. Slackers.)
Well, at least you wont have to endure tasteless milkman jokes…Darn near clones. Hard to tell, but it looks like Joey has shorter ears.
Clones of their father, too - and his mother, specifically.
Hard to tell, but it looks like Joey has shorter ears.
I think that may be the angle of the photo.
He’s precious, Jessie
I too have a couple that look almost identical. Finbar (who is 3) and Éamon (who is almost 1) are very similar. The kids were looking at pictures of Fin and they all thought it was Éamon.
Anyway, congratulations to all of you! How is Joey liking her little brother so far? If she’s not enamoured yet, she will be 
Joey loves him. Every day, she says to me, over and over, “I love my little brother. Thank you!”
I REALLY wanted to name him Finbar! Dan wouldn’t let me. We named him Linus Finn (Driscoll), though.
I love baby pictures. Thank you.

By the way, in case anyone wonders why I haven’t posted detailed recent pictures of my daughter, it’s because I am concerned for her safety. I have been known to get animated (and harsh at times) about whistles and flutes, and I have made some far-away enemies (I don’t even know who they are, actually). I have read hateful things that have been written about me and even my children, with threats and other terrible things. My daughter is beautiful and distinctive now (baby pictures are one thing, but baby faces change), and I don’t want to give any distant enemies amunition to be able to recognize or otherwise focus on images of my children. I won’t be posting detailed pictures of Linus once he becomes uniquely recognizable. The benefits of the internet far outweigh the risks, but there are scary people out there.
I think this is smart. It’s not a good idea to post children’s pics on public
forums, whether you’ve made enemies or not. I don’t particularly like
much identifiable info to be floating around on the 'net (I’m not very
Googleable). Good on you for being a wise, protective parent!
