We both pass out into food comas at least three times a day.
Purple is our favorite color.
We both could spend the entire day just cuddling and be happy.
We both agree that the little rolls on her legs are the cutest things in the whole wide world.
We both will love you forever if you give us a forehead massage.
We both know that she really loves wearing hats with ears on them even though Billy does not agree with us.
What are some similarities that you have with your kids?
If you don’t have kids yet what are some similarities that you have with your parents?

I can’t get over how much hair Brooke has. There aren’t many newborns you can give fohawks to! Gosh in three months you could probably french braid her hair. Six months … bump it?!
Stephanie @ Steph's Miles
My mom and I have too many questions for people. My dad and I have the same laugh.

Eli and I both stretch the same way in the morning. He has my nose! :) We both move our toes a lot when we are just relaxing. And he has his mouth wide open in many pictures…just like I did as a baby! Hmm…I wonder if he will be a talker like his mama?
And I think that hat on your daughter is adorable!
kate!
i can’t help but see curly in her in every picture!! i’m sure she would love to hear that ahah!
Ashley
I want to see the apple hat!!!

My Dad and I both twitch the same way before we fall asleep … haha. I don’t think that counts. My Mom and I both like it when people brush our hair, so we make a habit of brushing each other’s hair when we get together. Oh! And the same for hand massages — those are actually better. Mmm. So relaxing!

When my daughter and I are fighting (she’s 19) I think, “Crap, I gave birth to myself”. Only she has better hair, but I’m pretty sure I’m smarter.

Seriously? That picture of her getting a ‘head massage’ is OUT OF THIS WORLD ADORABLE! So much so that I had to use the annoying capslock to prove my point. I mean, I love all of her pics, but that one just so dang cute!
My daughter is dramatic, stubborn and ‘somewhat’ talkative. I definitely have NO idea where any of those traits came from ;)
Evan is a an awesome sleeper who loves to go to bed early and wake up early. But he has his dad’s super weird eyebrows and laid back personality.
Jenn @ RunItMyWay
Ohhh my there is an overload of CUTE in this post!! She keeps on getting cuter :)
Nadia
*is a puddle of goo from so much cute* and I mean that in the best way possible! You have the most adorable kidlet.
Kate
Seriously the cutest child EVER.
Katie
How can you stand how cute Brooke is??!! I loved your blog before, but I really look forward to it now and love hearing about your love for Brooke and seeing pictures of her adorable face every day.
Connie
I am seriously obsessed with how obsessed you and Billy are with Brooke. It is the cutest thing ever, and I couldn’t be happier for you two!
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
That picture of Brooke in her little hat. Omg I just can’t handle the cuteness. You’re both just too adorably sweet for words.
Brooke Elyse
I feel like Brooke and I have a special bond and all because we share the coolest name… I want to hold her and kiss those little cheeks! {don’t be creeped out… k?}
Hmmm similiarities between me and the parentals..
Dad: personality, love of dancing, a great butt {wait- what?}, love of learning
Mom: looks, love of ice cream, level-headedness {is that even a word?}, organizational skills.

if there was an award for the most heart-melting post, this would be it…she is TOO CUTE!!
dana a.
omg, this is the most adorablest post ever! i love the one in front of the laptop. She is just getting cuter and cuter as the days go by. you are so blessed!
Kristina T
IN LOVE with that picture of you and Brooke! So cute!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats
Oh ignore billy! Hats with ears are totally adorable! I saw a little boy last year with a dinosaur hat, it had a line of pointy scales running from front to back over the top. He was too cute!
Catherine
She is just too frickin cute for words! Well done you two ;)
Kristen @ notsodomesticated
Aww I love that first picture with her passed out on your lap! So darn adorable!
Brittnie (A Joy Renewed)
Clara and I have the same nose and dark features – like eyebrows. Poor girl might have to embrace waxing early if she is anything like her momma. . . jk. :) We also both get irritated if it has been too long between meals or if we are overly tired!!
Courtney @ CardioQueen
The food coma picture is hilarious! She looks so cute as a mouth breather….and I just look ridiculous as a 25 year old with my mouth hanging wide open during naps!
Kari @ Running Ricig
My mom and I are pretty much the same person, except she is nicer than I am :)
Jenny
First off, the photos of your little family just melt my heart–so sweet! My mom and I lean against the kitchen counter and stand the same way (random, but true) and we also sound so similar that family members can’t tell us aparat on the phone. My dad have most of the same hobbies and humor and he is where I got my love for reading. We also both make this funny squeaking sound with our mouths that drive most people crazy. Ha!
Sara
In the first picture she looks soooo much like Curly!
Beth @ Miles and Trials
Those pictures are amazing. And I love your similarities! Too cute, both of you!
Elise
She is so cute. I would cuddle her all day too.
Kate
So so cute! Brooke is just gorgeous. And she totally rocks the ears.
I am stubborn like my Mum and driven like my Dad, and Mum and I have a thing for hallmark movies and babies being born (maybe this is why I am loving your Brooke stories?!).
Kaitlin @4loveofcarrots
she is just the cutest thing ever. I love her little leg rolls!!
Emily
Goodness. You are giving me baby fever. She is absolutely gorgeous.
I don’t have kids, but my 7-year-old niece is a mini-me. It’s pretty awesome for this stage in life because I can have fun with her, take her to book stores, indulge her…and then send her home to her parents. When ever my family is out in group setting people think she’s mine, I’ve had countless people walk up and tell me how gorgeous my daughter is and my niece always cracks up “Emily…with a kid?!?!! *hehehehehe*”.
Coy
My youngest son and I have birthmarks in the exact same spots! How crazy is that!?
Amy G
Brooke is SO alert! This is amazing! Aside from the fact she is just brilliant, of course, do you think any of it is due to you being so active during your pregnancy? I can’t get over it – even from the beginning, because of course I was stalking your blog WAITING for her to get here!!
Michelle M.
My son and I love to talk… allll the time…. nonstop! I also give “crazy eyes” and he does the same thing. He. is. crazy. Just like his mom ;)
Stephanie
She is the cutest little bug!! I LOVE her hat with ears…so cute. It looks like you two are having a great time :) I love seeing all the pictures!!

It’s official. I’m obsessed with Brooke. Keep posting adorable photos!
lindsay
and she is naturally adorable and gorgeous, like her momma.
Rachelle
LOVE this!
Holly
Can I just say, I read a ton of blogs, and know a ton of people with babies, but Brooke is by FAR the cutest I’ve seen in a long time. She is absolutley adorable! Congrats to you and Billy. You will be wonderful parents!
Beth
My 4-month-old and I love snugging (yes, snugging!) on the couch, and we both laugh at the silliest things. AND we both love to run, of course. He says “go, go” when he’s in the jogging stroller or when I’m doing a workout on the treadmill. =)
Stephanie @ Food and Fitness 4 Real
My babies are 6 and 3 now but they both have some similarities with me and my husband. The BAD: Both of my kids get grumpy when they are hungry (like me), my daughter is very stubborn and hard-headed (like me), my daughter has nightmares (like me), and my son is grumpy when he first wakes up (like daddy). The GOOD: my daughter is very strong for a 6 yr old (like daddy), she loves to eat (like me), loves to cook and bake (like me), loves me to read her stories (like me) and has already started running (like me). We ran a 1 mile fun run last year and she wants to run with me again this year!
emi
she truly is the cutest! we need to come see her again..and you two of course! love this cute post. i agree about the hat with ears- who wouldn’t love wearing those? xo
kaylie
I cannot stand it- Brooke is soooo adorable! Thanks for making my day!
Heather @ Run Eat Play
Oh my goodness – Brooke is the cutest little baby I have ever seen (shh..don’t tell my kids and nieces and nephews that I said that…)
Rene Hall
I love Brooke and her hair!
My daughter is a mini-me – she pretty much looks just like me. She has her dad’s sense of humor and my ability to get along with people but she seems to take it up a notch.
My son looks like neither my hubs nor myself but he cries at movies and loves sports (me) and gets his love of video games and science from his dad.
Amy
haha i love her hair it is so cute!! we’re due in a week so ill let u know what our similarities are then :) cant wait!!
Missy
CUTIE PIE! Yep that includes you Brooke! lol
Holly
I LOVE the hat with ears. I think Billy secretly likes it too ;)
We have that same onesie- the ‘small & sassy’ one- adorable..and it’s purple…which we both know (or should I say we ‘3 know’ since Brooke loves purple too) it is the best color ever!
Losing Lindy
I love the picture of the forehead rub…V is stubborn like me
hannahviolin
I don’t think I’ve commented since you had Brooke, so CONGRATS and she is so freaking cute! I love how you seem so chill and relaxed as a mom and you just seem like you are having so much fun :)
Sara
She is absolutely beautiful! That is all. :)
Kay
Too cute!
