Mini Me

With technology today, I will snap 100 photos of Hadley in 10 minutes and only keep the best five. Back when we were babies, it is a miracle that our parents have any photos of us at all with the slow shutter speeds, not being able to see your photos immediately and having to send the negatives off in the mail and wait to get them back. Remember those days? Then you would get your precious 24 pictures back only to find your finger in all of them. How patient we had to be!

Here's a picture of me at one week old. My dad thinks it's a spitting image of Hadley. Honestly though, how can you tell from this picture? This one is like the 95 I just deleted today. You can tell what era this photo is from because 1) The side rail of the crib goes up and down and 2) *gasp* there are stuffed animals in the crib. We know too much for our own good.

I've always wanted a mini me. From Day 1 we have been trying to figure out who Hadley looks like. We think she has Dave's nose, but the rest of her seems to be pure Allbee. Poor thing, I would notice that overbite a mile away. We will have to open a separate savings account for her orthodontist. Here is a better example. Compare Hadley at 2 months old to me at four months old. She has my eyes, expressive eyebrows, and widows peak. Can you tell?
