What will this baby look like?

While it's a pretty safe bet that Baby Steinhoff will have dark hair and dark eyes (though you never know what kind of recessive light-haired gene is out there in our family trees), it's still fun to think about what this little boy or girl might look like. Though the better question is how tall is he or she going to be?!? :)

Luckily for Baby Steinhoff, its parents were pretty cute babies themselves. Exhibit A:

That's me on the left and Chris on the right. That hat kills me every time!!
(Thanks to our parents for supplying such adorable pictures...and children)

And while I always have had dark features, Chris actually did have lighter hair when he was little, so it's possible our baby could too. Exhibit B:

Too cute :) His aunt Joyce sent this to us last week, saying she is sure this Baby Steinhoff will be just as cute as its dad. I agree!


Now, the baby can look like either of us all it wants, but I hope to God that some of the trends we both fell into (hello, we grew up in the '80s and '90s!) never, ever resurface.

Exhibit C:
May the bright "Bill Cosby" sweaters and the neon backgrounds that graced our school photo sessions never return in our child's lifetime.

Exhibit D: 
And please, please, please may glasses that take up over half your face never come back in style. Fingers crossed that our child gets its father's eyes anyway, so it won't even have to deal with glasses in the first place.

It will be fun to look back on our baby pictures and compare features once Baby Steinhoff arrives!
