From newborn to toddler to preschooler, it’s amazing how one’s feature changes over time. When our children were tiny babies, it’s hard to tell whose features they’ve inherited. Then as they grow and reach a certain age, you stare at their faces and thought “Hey! I’ve seen that expression before!” Then you start to dig for those old albums of yours from the corner of your shelf and start flipping through them looking for evidence that they resemble you when you were younger.

Many times when we meet up with relatives, those from my side of the family tend to see that they resemble me or my parents. Those from P’s side would say they look more like him. Similarly, his friends would say they follow his features, and my friends mostly say they follow mine. Then we would either vouch for or go against their comments.

To avoid any form of disagreement, I’ll post up these pictures side-by-side and let you be the judge.
