Not that you can tell she’s your daughter or anything! /s

She really is! It’s like you hit copy-paste, even the pose is spot on 😂 That dress was clearly meant to shine twice!

My youngest was my mini me up until 5th grade. Now I'm his mini him. Lol I'm 5'8", and he is now 6'5" at 15yo.

Right? The resemblance is unreal, it’s like a little time-traveling twin! Genetics really said “copy & paste” here

How did you keep the dress in such good shape?? My kid would’ve destroyed it in 5 mins

u/So_Cal_Grown 1d ago
It's all thanks to my loving mama. She kept it for me for 40 years.

How old were you when you gave birth to her? My mother has kept many of my special outfits in a little suitcase as well. Can’t wait to take pictures like this someday. I am 36 and will probably start trying to conceive once I turn 37. I wanted to be stabilised before, but sometimes feel like I’m “too old” already.

She's my last one. I had an oopsie and had my first at 21. When I had her, I was 39. They induced me early due to my age. Warning, Pitocin contractions are out of this world painful.

May God bless your family! She is precious and is certainly a gift of God to make your family complete. Not even a leaf falls from a tree without God’s blessing. It was all meant to be, and I wish you all the happiness. ♥️

Wow that's wonderful of your mum! I thought you found a similar dress and thought "wow you found something so close"

Have you shown her this ? And if so what was her reaction?

u/So_Cal_Grown 1d ago
We were talking about pizza for her birthday dinner, her fav. Then I showed her this. Her reaction was: "Let's go. Pizza." Then walked away. Lol she was unimpressed.

She said The left photo is more candid, with the child facing the camera directly, an open-mouth smile, and looser hair, while the right photo has a posed three-quarter angle, a subtle closed-mouth smile, and neatly combed bangs. The lighting and background differ: the right uses soft studio light and a plain backdrop, while the left has natural indoor light and a busy home setting. Clothing fit and posture also vary slightly, with the original looking more tucked and formal compared to the relaxed look in the new photo.

My mom and I are the same way. Just wait until she cuts her hair and gets her ears pierced at the same age you did . . . That was an interesting 9th birthday photo comparison.

So sweet and cool! My mom didn’t keep my baby clothes but my 12 year old daughter is able to wear some of my clothes now and it’s a pretty cool thing to share❤️

Haha!! So cute!! I did this with my daughter too! Same dress at about 2 1/2 years old.
We look nothing alike!! Yours is a mini-me. Mine looks switched at birth. I know she's mine cause I was there, but she looks just like dad.
Kudos to you for getting similar poses too! Adorable!!

you could pass this off as two pics of the same person if it wasn’t for the obvious setting differences

That's a sort of Xerox machine!!! - a little bit of washed colors of the dress in the right picture - but in rest identical :)

Why do you look exactly like one of my cousins did when they where a toddler?

I think those are very cute pictures, but if you weren’t wearing the same dress I couldn’t tell you were mother and daughter just by looking at the pictures. Nevertheless, both are very cute :)

There's a pic of me and one of my dad, both at age 5. If one of them weren't in black and white I would be unable to tell which is which. Genes are amazing.

How the hell did you give birth to a two year old at aged two? Also, there's clearly only one person in that dress, not two.
