People say Jude looks just like his big brother. And...they're absolutely right. I often have a hard time seeing things like that, but I can definitely see this one. When Jude was first born, I thought, "oh, they resemble each other a little, but Jude definitely has his own look." But the older he gets, the more like Elijah I think he looks--not Elijah now, but Elijah as a baby. In fact, I think years from now, I'll look at pictures of the two of them as babies and have a hard time remembering who is who!
I tried to go back and find a few pictures of Elijah that were similar enough to current pictures of Jude so you can see for yourself. Unfortunately I don't have many pictures of Jude awake yet, and I don't think these quite do it justice, but they might give you an idea...
Jude's hair is lighter, and his eyes at this point are also bluer than Elijah's ever were (I am still holding out hope that one of my boys will have his daddy's gorgeous, gorgeous gray-green eyes). But otherwise? No mistaking these two are brothers. And in case you're wondering who they look like as babies...
That would be me. It's funny to me that people say Elijah looks just like his daddy. I'm glad--I would love for our boys to look like their handsome dad!--but I just don't see it. Here's what Steve looked like as a baby:
So there you have it--a little trip through our family's gene pool :) I'll be curious to see how Jude changes as he gets older. I feel like Elijah's looks changed completely, so I wonder if older Jude will look like Elijah as much as baby Jude does right now.

How sweet! They do like SO much like each other and like you. It must be fun to have two to compare. :)
Funny, I think of Steve as having more Kannel, but in his baby picture I definitely see lots of Brumbaugh! I love that your boys look so much alike. And it's likely that you are right about having trouble telling their baby pictures apart in years to come. Josh almost always has trouble when I show him pics of the kids as babies. The one differing factor for us is that we were in different houses with each child. If we look at the background we can tell a little easier which child is which. :)
