The Great Debate

No, we’re not talking Liberal v. Conservative.  Not brownies v. ice cream (although those two should never be pitted against one another; only in love and harmony do they reach their full potential).  This is Baby Ben v. Baby Erin.

Some people (I won’t say who) might think (are fixated on the fact) that Holls looks more like Ben (they are obviously wrong).  And some people might know that she looks like me.  And I can’t help it that they are right.

I have no idea why I get incredibly offended when people say she looks like Ben.  Clearly, she is half of him, so it stands to reason that she might look at least a little bit like him.  But it irks me.  There is no current research being done on my craziness.

But anyway, deciphering who a baby looks more like is not mere guesswork.  Through the miracle of technology, you can see our own baby pictures and decide for yourself.  And I’m provided you with just that opportunity.  Lucky you.

So, here’s the deal.  Below are two pictures (Picture A and Picture B).  One picture is of Ben, and one is of me; I won’t tell you which (although you will obviously choose me).  Your job is to choose which picture looks more like Holls (Picture C).  Leave a comment with your now highly formed opinion and we’ll see who wins.  I’ll even randomly choose a comment-or and write a post about how awesome they are.  I swear.  Even if they vote against me (which they will obviously not do, since it flies in the face of logic and common sense).

So…what do you think?

Picture A

This is Picture A. ↑

Picture B This is Picture B.  ↑

Picture C And here is Picture C.  ↑

Picture D And here’s another pic of Holls, closer to the time the other pics were taken (Picture D), just to be sure.  ↑

Ok.  Vote away.

    I am working on getting a grant to fund research on your craziness.

    I think Hollis looks like picture A definitely…

    whoa i meant Holland!!! sorry Erin!!

  2. well, I was going to say she looks completely more like Picture A. I mean, it’s a perfect match. But then I saw the second picture of Holls and I think that one is a match for PIcture B. It’s like she’s a shape-shifter. I personally think she looks kind of like me.

  3. I’m kinda nervous to leave this comment, but I’m going with A on this one. Although I’ve maintained since the get-go that that precious baby looks like a perfect blend of both of you, and looks more like you or Ben depending on the light.

    Pictures A & C match and Pictures B & D match…. this is a trick question.
    Personally I think she looks more like you Erin.

  4. Holls def looks like Baby A.

    Wow, agreed that A looks like C and B looks like D… but A matches C more than B matches D. Also, I totally relate on that feeling when one tells you your baby doesn’t look like you, ever-important you. The one who pushed out this gorgeous sweet package of delight. I think it’s only natural :) Right?

  5. Ok. I really think she looks like both A and B. I’ll say that pic A looks like pic C to me, and pic B looks like pic D. This may be due to the fact that Ben is a squinter, and their eyes both look the same in C and D.

    Very tough choice… but I think I’m going to have to vote Picture B. Really, though, too close to call.

    She totally looks like you Erin. I have to agree that the pictures are pretty confusing, but I am going to go with A.
    Everyone says that Hadassah looks like Tim, except my parents who says she looks like me. I think she is sort of a mix between us. It does kind of hurt when everyone says she looks like Tim. She is my daughter. I don’t want her to look like a boy. ;)

    okay. pic A. no doubt. i have read all the other comments and the one with the greatest reasoning i believe to be Becca’s. she’s right. pretty much dead on with how i was reasoning it out so go with that. she said it best no need to restate it. done. picture A. one more time for good measure, picture A beats picture B’s tush. hands down.
