A Blending of Generations

So we have about a month until baby Olson is born, and I can't help but wonder what he will look like... Dark and hairy?...Pink and pudgy?...the possibilities are endless, really. To give myself a better idea of what my baby will look like I have compiled a group of photos spanning three generations. Take a look beginning with grandparents. Notice the facial structures, nose shapes, and uh...eyebrows.
and our parents...we can see the different possibilities for eye and hair colors here.Finally here is the expecting couple. Here we see more technology than genes at play--the computer edited perfect complexions, sparkling, white teeth, and slightly unnatural hair color. (for me at least) Photoshop can do wonders.
Using the Baby Face Imager 3000, I will put all these faces together and come up with…



Well, I guess that’s not too surprising. He definitely has that baby look, but I’m not seeing any huge resemblance to anyone in my family. Well even if he does look like any other baby at first, eventually he’ll look more like these three generations of family, and maybe even inherit our super power abilities! Like my ability to eat cold things without a trace of ice cream headache, or the freakish ability to wiggle my ears. He could also inherit Britton’s curly toes, or impeccable aim. Wow, this is going to be one unique kid. Only one more month until we meet him.

Funny, that picture of the screaming baby looks just like Britton when I DESTROY him in HALO...HA! Really though, we're excited for you guys and can't wait for the big day. Best of luck and keep posting.

Very fun multi-generational pics. He'll be cute no matter what with all those good genes swirling in his veins. I'm rooting for an August baby to join me in my birthday month!
love, TIA

Matt and I liked looking at your pics of Britton and your parents. Britton looks alot like his mom and you look alot like you mom. In our opinion anyway. I hope you are feeling great (the last weeks are the worst).

I think Britton has exactly the same face shape as his grandpa Olson. And G'ma Thalia and G'malita look exactly the same!! Fun to look at! One thing I know for sure, Will will be adorable and he has spectacular parents!!
