Who Does Lane Favor?

Lane 2 weeks
Beau 2 weeks
Abby about 6 weeks

One of the most frequently asked questions after you have a baby is, "Who does she look like?" I believe, in Lane's case, she looks a whole heck of a lot like her big sister and her daddy, but at times I catch glimpses and faces of Beau in there as well. I do believe, at least for now, that those eyes are going to be brown. I think we deserve a brown eyed girl by the third try!! After all, Toby and I both have them, as did her namesake Mimi Dorothy. Who do you think she looks like?

Things are going really well around here for the most part. Mommy and Daddy are tired a lot of the time, but our hearts are so utterly full with these kids and the joys that they bring to our lives, most of the time it isn't so hard to overlook the fatigue and just enjoy the moments. It can probably safely be said that Lane has us all wrapped around her tiny little fingers. She is already used to being held pretty much all of the time. She loves to look around, and her all time favorite thing to do by far is eat. (She gets that from her mommy...) She is on track so far to be the biggest Smith baby of all!

The kiddos are getting so excited about Halloween. There is lots of partying and trick-or-treating to be done in the next few weeks. Right after Halloween Papaw is coming down for a visit. He will be staying with the big kids while Toby, Lane and I sneak away to San Diego for a much needed get away! Lots of good pics to come!

I have thought all along that she looks like Beau and I still think so.. even more after seeing his 2wk pic! I'm so exciting for you guys to be going on a trip! I love San Diego, my mom and I used to go there in the summer's when I was in junior high. Glad you guys are hanging in there, God made kids so darn cute for a reason, it's the only way I can get by these days with all the sleep deprivation and stress!

She definently has Beau's mouth and nose! I see both of them in her. That is so awesome you are going to San Diego! You will LOVE it! If you get a chance eat at the Hotel Del Coranado-it's famous and been there forever. The desserts are sooo good, which is always a bonus!

Little cutie! I see all three in her...sorry Mommy! I bet she starts looking more like you the older she gets, just like Abby does. I can't wait to squeeze her! I am so excited about your trip - you will have so much fun! It is a great city!

so sweet! i think she looks a lot like beau--esp the nose, but i see abby too. she is precious and i am so glad you got your brown-eyed girl :) i swear our girls' eyes are still changing (even though the pediatrician and the baby books all say they don't change after 2 years old). lane is beautiful! i wouldn't know what to do with a baby that had hair! it's adorable.

Just got your birth announcement, it's absolutely beautiful! Lane looks like Abby in the pic you used for it. The UT thing in the background is a punching bag! They have tons of cute UT toys there.
