Let's just say that Cassie is very much her mother's daughter rolleyes.gif They don't call her MJ for nothing! laugh.gif let's see what she's got from me

Well her looks, obviously, she looks exactly like I did when I was her age
The look that she gets when she's concentrating (scrunched up forehead and the pout, NOT an attractive look for either me or the poor child!)
Her temper - pretty easy going but then when she's gonna blow, watch out!
The look she gets when she laughs
Her laugh, now that we mention it
The way that she plays with her hair when she's tired or bored wub.gif
The look she gets on her face when she's mad laugh.gif
She's not a crier, she'll try and stop herself from crying which I do worry about sometimes because I think shegets it from me blush.gif unsure.gif
And let's not forget the ability to twist her daddy around her little finger . . . what can I say, I taught her all she knows laugh.gif

She doesn't seem to have much from Jason, except that she will keep trying on and on at something until she gets it right, just like her daddy does
She's picked up a couple of his habits, like touching me when she walks past me like he does wub.gif and calling me gorgeous! laugh.gif hat is so funny

Apart form that, she's MJ all the way! laugh.gif rolleyes.gif I'm going to have trouble with her in a few years wink.gif xx

JAYMESMOM replied: What does Jayme get from me. Had you asked me 6 months ago the answer would have been nothing but now!! ohmy.gif

Her temper, she will tolerate stuff for a little while but when she goes you had better run.

Her hair, its soft, cottony and wavy just like mine when I was little.

My dimples (one on each cheek)

Her love of books. (She reads them to herself in her own words.)

Her sense of style (but maybe thats because I dress her and buy her clothes rolleyes.gif )

Her laugh

Her love of cheese (She could eat it by the block)

The taking of money from daddy (I taught her that - he he laugh.gif )

Wanting to go shopping at the store (not that we can afford much more than the necessities but she gets excited when she gets in the cart)

and her desire to be everywhere at every time and not be left out (I am a nosey neighbor - i want to know whats going on.)

The only thing she really gets from dad is her height and skinny body.

jcc64 replied: They're all very athletic.
Oldest ds is quiet and reserved, like dh.
Middle ds is an absolute slob, like dh.
And dd, well, I think she's more like me.

DVFlyer replied: They both sleep on their back with their mouths open and that little line of drool coming down their cheek.

That's from me for sure. wacko.gif

coasterqueen replied: OMG! All my horrible habits is what she's got and unfortunately I KNOW she has. rolleyes.gif

1. She talks really loud instead of a NORMAL voice. Could be because I do or is it yelling? dunno.gif SIGH.

2. Bossy tone and puts her hands on her hips often. rolleyes.gif

(darn thing posted before I finished tongue.gif )

3. Very picky eater (but likes foods i don't) and she'll gag if she tries something she doesn't think she's gonna like, just like me blush.gif

um, that's all that I can think of right now. tongue.gif

Oh and she's just a spirited child in general like I was/am

DansMom replied: Daniel has a sensitive digestive system, just like DH.

Daniel likes rhythm like DH and melody like me.

Daniel totally has my sense of humor and my long eyelashes

His coloring and texture of hair and color of eyes, and his skinny lanky body, are all DH. Even the way his knees bump out from his legs and the flatness of his but are exactly like a miniature DH.

MomToJade&Jordan replied: She managed to get some good and bad traits from both DH and I.

From me:
Her mile wide stubborn streak. Jade is so hard-headed which leads us to butt heads every one on a while.

Her smile. Yeah that is all me. She even gets the same crinkle under her eye that I do.

Her hair. Not the color, but I had those same curls when I was her age.

Her love of books. I am an avid reader and she usually likes to pull out her books and read along with me. She likes to look at the pictures and make up her own stories.

Her love of music. She kind of gets this from both of us, but she also has a great ear which she got from me. I do have that music degree.

From DH:
Her scowl. Oh that is Daddy all the way.

The fact that she has no fear. Yes this has lead to many heart-stopping moments in the past 3 years.

She got her daddy's long legs. Same shape same length, kind of funny.

Daddy's ears. Down to the very detail.

Of course the blue eyes and blond hair come from DH. She has my eye and eyebrow shape though.

I am going to have to say that her imagination comes from both of us. She is so creative and just makes us laugh with the stuff she comes up with.

aspenblue1 replied: Isabella sticks her tounge out when she is concentrating on something like Jason does.


She gets her stubborness from me.

dolfinrse replied: Zack has a really bad temper which he gets from both of us.
He had Dh's long eyelashes
He has my feet. Dh laughs at us because our pinkie toe has almost no toenail.
When he is watching tv and sitting in his chair, he curls his toes under on the floor, just like dh.

kel replied: kira looks like none of us LOL but she has her daddy's chin (they both have a dimple..) and loong eyelashes..she has her daddy's feet..

she is patient and very affectionate ..like her daddy..she calls me "pooky" LOL and she orders me around a lot..all daddy!! i love all the "daddy" in her though..

she gets her cleaning habit from me..she is super organised ..like me..she says "oh god" a lot (like me *blush*)...and she is super talkative (like me) .
i think she got a good deal cause dh and i are soo different and she has a little bit of both of us in her..she gets along with all sorts of different personalities at school which is a bonus imo..
