Save for a few notable exceptions, everyone says that Noey looks just like me. My Aunt -- the same one who came by with some old baby photos last year -- recently gave me the remainder of my old photos which she had in her possession. I've seen many of these photos before, but now looking at the same photos with my son in front of me at the same age, even I am taken aback by the resemblance.
Polariod shots taken around my first birthday, as evidenced by the cake in a couple of these shots.
With my parents, Grandma, cousin, and yet another cake
More first birthday celebrations, except that my parents obviously cut my hair in between, leaving me with this hideously short fringe.
Noey, in a dress (and with a bad haircut).
One year on, I think Noey is still Mummy's boy through and through.
WOW!! It's really like looking at Noey in dresses!! I wish you could see my expression when I saw the photos, especially THE LAST ONE!!
ReplyDeleteYour mom must have a lot of memories brought back to her when she sees her little grandson.
Chip off the old block does not apply to you. From the same cookie cutter should be more like it.
Shocking resemblance!
ReplyDeleteInspired me to do my own such post! But hubby is convinced I lose to him in the lookalike contest. Bah.
GASP!! The last picture! Really mummy's boy! :)
ReplyDeleteMy goodness! It's sooooo amazing! I would have thought it's one and the same baby!!!! I thought the last picture in the first montage is also soooo Noah.
ReplyDeleteWow.
uncanny in such an adorable way...I enjoyed looking at all the photos!
ReplyDeletenoey's a photocopy of you!!
ReplyDeletei've never seen such a striking resemblance of any newborn to their parents. usually it'll take awhile to match the features to the parents.
oh my goodness! super wow! and you had a LOT of cake!
ReplyDeleteOh my!!! Carbon copy! :)
ReplyDeletehaha, i can't help but check out uncle victor!
ReplyDeleteMichelle :: Hee, it was pretty surreal for me as well. I dunno if my Mum remembers what I used to look like -- it was 30 years ago!
ReplyDeleteLyndis :: Go compare! Though offhand, I would say that Kate looks more like your hubby too...
Lilsnooze :: Hah, the last one really got me too. I think I look more like a boy than Noey does!
Yuling :: Yeah, that last one in the collage had DD going "that's Noey!" as well.
Shyanyan :: Thanks! It's amazing looking through the photos now myself. they say children are a mirror but i didn't expect to take it so literally.
Candice :: Got-- Elliot totally looks like Merv! Haha. But yah, babies usually look like they have the same face!
Daphne :: Amazing right? And yes, I had a lot of cake! I only JUST realised! Now I feel a bit sorry for Noey -- he only had 1 (not counting the joint one). Heh.
Corsage :: Yes, photostat. Haha.
Leon :: I know! Do you remember him looking like that?? Speaking of which I found an old pic of us too! When we were about 10 or 11 I think! I should send it to Yvonne :)
OMG, it's UNCANNY!! I never expected it to be as alike as this!! LOL, I love the pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteyou two look SO alike omigosh!
ReplyDeleteHow about his daddy's baby photo? Very curious to see how much resemblance there is.
ReplyDeleteOH WOW!!!!!!!! SHOCKING!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow!!! He looks JUST LIKE YOU! I did a double-take, it's like noey with slightly longer hair!
ReplyDeleteGosh! At first I thought it was Noah's photos except you did some sort of special effects to "age" the photos. Haha! He looks so much like you!
ReplyDeleteI saw your pics and I immediately thought: WOW, that's a girl Noey! HAHA
ReplyDeleteA side note, isn't it cute how everyone had to have a huge cream cake in the shape of one at our first birthdays? :)
Serline :: You're right -- let me go dig out some old pics of DD. Some of his aunts and his Mum have been saying that Noey looks like DD at that age. Let's see :)
ReplyDeleteDebra :: Yeah, it's like the must-do thing! i wanted to get Noey one as well but couldn't stomach eating that much cake!
