Hellobee Boards

Big thighs. Speed-skating success is almost guaranteed.

Wagon Jr. is definitely showing signs of our musical abilities! He loves to sing and his favorite toys are guitar, drums, piano, and microphone.

He's also got my nice dark straight hair for sure... and I like to think he's got my monolidded but round and large for an asian eyes.

I really really hope he gets my teeth! Never needed braces.

He got SOMEone's feet... not sure whose, but his second toe is the shortest on his foot. They're super wide but ADORABLE.

And I think even though he's short, he's got long legs, which both Wagon Sr. and I have (we both have short torsos).

Dh and I both also played instruments, and I do art so she has a good chance of being artsy fartsy. And dh is pretty smart to hopefully she'll get his brains!

I am great at English/Arts and DH is a mathematics professor- I hope our son gets both to be well-rounded academically!

I have gorgeous eyes and long dark eyelashes, LO has my eyes! I'm sure a girl will be falling for his eyes someday!

I have near-perfect teeth, no braces! I also have long legs, if we have a girl she'll love me for it

My school brains, DH's real life/money management brains, both of our heights (Dh is 6'1" and I'm 5'7"), my hair, DH's perfect teeth.

I have no idea because we're so opposites!!!

We're both fairly decent in school so they'll have that going for them. I'm 5'5" and my husband 6'3" so chances are they'll be tall.
I hope they get his athletic ability because I have none! He's also really great st building anything.

Oh, we're both really good cooks!! So maybe our LO can be a chef!

Hmm...they will hopefully be smart (DH and I are both pretty intelligent, not to toot our own horns or anything!). They will likely be into sports, because DH will not let our kids be blah about sports--he will force them to be obsessed, just like he is! They'll hopefully be tall, as both Dh and I are taller than normal. They will also almost definitely need glasses (don't think this is actually striking gold, lol), as almost everyone in both our families wear them.

They'll hopefully get Dh's persuasive/debate skills!

@hilsy85: I think all parents should get to take refresher courses. I was pretty good at math in school but I'm still terrified about the day when my kid asks me for help with his math homework and I can't remember how to do algebra!!

@MamaMoose: Ha that's definitely going to happen to me...Dh asked me a simple question about fractions/percentages the other day and I could not solve the problem without his help! Embarrassing!

I'm a big nerd (science and computer smart) and the DH is an artist. Maybe our future LO will think with both sides of the brain instead of just one!

Academic ability is pretty much the only thing DH and I have in common. We both did really well in school, but we have different strengths. I'm crossing my fingers that LO will get all the strengths.

I really hope LO gets my/my family's musical talent. DH and his side...don't really have those genes. I've been trying to influence the kiddo in utero because I want it so badly.

@chopsuey119: haha sounds like your kids are going to have it made

Lala seems to have gotten my verbal abilities (started talking at 8 months, showing some reading readiness already--though we're not pushing it) and Mr. Jacks math skills. (she enjoys numbers a lot and seems to be getting the idea of adding more things and taking some away). Mr. Jacks thinks she's going to be an engineer and I fantasize that she'll be a doctor, but she'll probably find something totally unique. Oh and she has my sense of balance, so maybe some snowboarding?

Maisie is too young to know much, but we can already tell she has her parents' height and a very calm personality! I can't wait to see what else she develops

@rubies: LOL at Asian Zooey Deschanel - love it!

@minnie_girl: You wrote pretty much exactly what I would write! Musical, quirky, bookish. Hubs and I are also enormous goofballs. So they'll pretty much be huge dorks. And I'll love every minute of it!

We joke and say that any of our kids will be tall, blonde, blue-eyed, and blind. Hubs is 6'4 and I'm 5'7. He's a natural blond while mine is enhanced. We both of gorgeous blue eyes and wear glasses. Both of us are smart and enjoyed school, so I hope that gets passed along too.

They will definitely be blond haired blue eyed babies. Everything else is 50/50 though lol!

@oliviaoblivia: HA! Ours will have a big belly....she can be a belly dancer, perhaps??

We're both tall-ish. I'm 5'7 and he's 6'4. I would love for her to be 5'8! She will also probably have brown hair and blue eyes which I think is gorgeous on a girl.

As for brains or talent? Lord, help her now. I can only hope she gets my athletic genes and my husband's artistic talent that I know is hidden away in him, he's just afraid to let it out.

DH and I both have perfect vision. We both read the bottom line of the eye chart w/ no problems, so hopefully we've passed that trait on to our baby.

I'm very book smart, and DH is very creative/artistic/handy. I'm hoping that LO got one of those traits... and preferably both!
