More like Mom or Dad?

So, it's amazing to think that in just 27 short weeks, our little fellow has gone from this
Picture
Baby B at 7 weeks
to this:

Baby B at 34w5d
The people at our perinatalogist's office were kind enough to do a quick 3D/4D ultrasound for us, which yeilded our first close look at our little guy. The whole ride home, Brian and I were debating who he looked like more: Mom or Dad?  We weren't able to decide. so see if you can figure it out for us. Here are some reference points:
Picture
wee little Brian
Brian is about a year or so in this picture. I love how he is dressed like a good German boy. He is clearly not wanting for food. 

I'm also sad to report that we don't have many pictures of little Brian, so this will have to suffice. I do love his little chubby cheeks.

Now, a few pictures of wee Kim:

In the top picture, I am showing my early love of flowers and all things pretty. That's my grandma giving me something that is delighting me. In the bottom photo, Kelly and I are already showing the height difference that will plague us for the rest of our lives. I have no idea how she ended up so tall and I ended up so average. We definitely were rocking the pigtailed look, though.

My mom also sent over some other photos, and this one scared me the most:
Picture
In that top photo, my first thought when I looked at it was, "When did I pose for that picture?" And then I saw the bottom photo and realized I was looking at my mom, not me! I mean, the hair, the posture, the turn of her head, even the way her hands are positioned -- it's a spitting image of myself.  My mom is 28 years old in this picture, two years younger than I am right now, and was in active labor with me when it was snapped. Yes, she really is that smiley. I hope I'm that cheerful when Baby B joins us. 

And I have to give a shout-out to my dad in the second picture, rocking the long side burns. How 1978 of him. :-) I don't think I've ever seen him look so happy, in person or in photo, than in this shot. That kind of makes me sad; my birth appears a major highlight, and then it seems like it all kind of went downhill from there. He stopped smiling and gives us the gruff look instead. He probably had no idea how much his two daughters were going to cost him over the course of the rest of his life. Sorry about that, Dad.  You'll be financially free of us...one day. :-)

And finally, just because I find this so appropriate for today:  
Picture
Top photo is me at 6 months, bottom photo is me probably around two years old. I just love the look I'm giving Grover; I think I still use that look today. It totally screams, "Um, I don't know what's going on here, but I'm not sure I like it. Please give me some space."

So, you decide. Does Baby B's picture look more like me or Brian? My honest-to-goodness first reaction is that he looks a lot like my dad. I guess only time will tell!

I'm a little confused here Kim - were you saying like your dad looks like "Baby B" or Grover? If it's the baby, there's definitely some similarities. I'm just really freaked out how much you look like your mom!!! That's really trippin' me out right now... I do have to say though, little "Baby B" seems to have Brian's nose and forehead. I suppose I have to see him smile to decide the rest - the eyes will sparkle and maybe he has dimples! Will he be a redhead or brunette? Either way, I think you can be rest-assured your little guy will be the perfect combination of his parents. And I'm so, SO excited for you guys (and can't wait to meet him myself).

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
