[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 49203, member: 111"]Gotta say, my initial impression was that they were the same children, and Book's side-by-sides just confirmed it for me. Wonder if the costumes were some the photographer had on hand to go along with the backdrop, the older boy's seems too large for him... To my eye, the comparisons show: Same high bulbous forehead and chubby cheeks on the three younger kids, same lower forehead and close-set eyes on the older one. Same down-turned brows on the two older, same asymmetry to the older one's face, which slimmed down, same good-sized ears with prominent lobes, visible in both shots of younger two, who also have the same high cheekbones. Same haircut and growth pattern on the youngest boy, and thankfully, the older boys had their hair cut, with the oldest very short, but forelock left on the other, probably in hopes of disguising that giant melon with it's 'Godfather' cheeks. The chins all appear to be about the same, they all, with the exception of the girl as an infant, have visible circles under the eyes, and all shots appear to show the same relatively small, short noses with fairly long philtrums. Find the little girl just too cute in both shots, love the way she's reaching back for her brother in the first, and that very serious look with cocked head in the second (she looks to be quite pigeon-toed too). ~Cheryl[/QUOTE]
