My children all look very much alike as babies: round, chubby faces, huge eyes, little noses, and rosy mouths.
When my oldest daughter was a baby people (friends and strangers alike) frequently remarked about her resemblance to the Gerber baby. I heard the comment so often that I called Gerber to see if they had a baby contest. They informed me that at Gerber they believe ALL babies are beautiful and that they didn't distinguish between any of them. (Obviously ALOT of people thought they had a Gerber Baby and Gerber didn't wish to notify them otherwise).
When my daughter became a toddler the comments were more about the Copperrtone Kid and Cindy-Lou Who, and since her toddler years reference has been made to Tinkerbelle.
All this said, I wasn't particularly surprised when a friend told me that my second daughter resembled someone famous. My girls look very similar so I thought it was one of the above-mentioned "celebs". My friend told me it was not any of them but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
One day while at a church social, my friend was observing my daughter. A lightbulb clicked.
He approached me and with his finger in the air, he said, "I know who [she] looks like now!"
Waiting for a foreseeable response I asked, "who?"
His answer: "An Ewok!"
