She definitely has his eyes and eyebrows. The nose is a combination. So is the attitude. :) The smile is yours. Just IMHO.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

SHE LOOKS LIKE ELVIS.

They don't see it? Why?

Damn. You, Tianyu and Viola = made of gorgeous. She looks like both of you.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

LOL His mum thinks she looks like me.

[topgeargirl2.livejournal.com]

I think it's because she looks like both.

I mean we are all made up of both our parents.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

This is true.

[dabroots.livejournal.com]

Do people say she looks just like you, or something? Very attractive kid!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah, people are like, Oh wow she looks just like you! People who knew my husband, that is. If you hadn't met himm you wouldn't know.

Just a guess, but maybe they're not expecting to see anything but the typically dominant Asian features? I don't know. I see him. And you. And all kinds of awesome.

[smirnoffmule.livejournal.com]

Yup, you two got schmooshed together in thar.

My daughter favors her dad, too. Son looks like me. Yet people sometimes say Tiff favors me--mostly in mannerisms. Her attitude is all her own.

We need to see a picture of you with them too--kidlet between. That would be cool to see.

That's because she's got your facial structure and cheeks :-)

It's been too long since we saw her. We totally visiting next weekend.

It's because of her attitude of awesome! It overwhelms the senses!

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

can definitely see you in there, too

[luscious-words.livejournal.com]

Having seen photos of all three of you, I think she's a lovely blend of you and Tianyu. I'm not sure why some folks are having difficulty seeing it. From personal experience I know that if I was with my mom people said I looked like her, but if I was with my biological father, then people would say I looked like him.

I thought she was adopted. ;p

She totes has your hair. she looks like a freakin' supermodel in that pic!

I think she's a lovely combo of the two. Obviously there's an asian influence to her looks, but I can see the WhiteyMcWhiterson influence too.

Actually, I'm sure most Asians would see her 'whiteness' just as most honkeys would see her Asiannnneesss. Is that a word?

OMG, she even does that half sneer thing that he used to do!!

[bodlon.livejournal.com]

I have never seen enough of you to make a solid determination. Stop being far.

(That said, I am leaning toward the smoosh.)

[jacquez.livejournal.com]

She looks a lot like both of you!

[adjovi.livejournal.com]

oh--i definitely see both of you, but having seen her in action w/ you--def her mama's girl. :) so freaking cute. blue has some really cute shots of her from this weekend.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Sweet! I have none b/c i am a shitty parent.

[kickair8p.livejournal.com]

You're right, she looks just like him. Are you sure you're her mom? And she's not a clone of him with the Y chromosome swapped out?

Sorry, couldn't resist! But she really does look mostly like him, although I'll agree that the smile's yours. The nose's shape is his, but the length isn't -- not sure if that's her age or you again.
