Hey! They Look Like Twins To Me!

I do not have any children of my own and I always wanted a little girl who looks like me, now I don't have to feel sad that I don't have kids because Heavenly Father made my dream come true by sending a little girl who looks like me to my brother Ryan and his beautiful wife Kara. Emily will always hold a special place in my heart because she is the little girl I always dreamed of. I also get the added benefit of being the fun aunt that spoils her without all the hard work of being a parent. It has worked out perfectly. I am truly blessed. 
Side By Side
I am a bit older then Emily in these pictures but most of our features are the same. Eye Shape, Bottom Eye Lids, Lips, Lines Between Lips and Nose, Nose, Chin, Tiny Bone Structure (small frames), Face Shape (she is thinner but the shape is the same) 
Emily
We have other similarities besides our looks. We have the same favorite color, yellow. Ryan and Kara suspect she might be left handed like me. She has a sweet, kind and strong personality like me. She is the only daughter in her family like me, but that may change.
Lanie
Features that are different: 
Eye Color - Emily's are a pretty light blue, Mine are a dark blue gray, with a hint of green.
Eye Spacing - Emily's are slightly further apart then mine, just slightly.
Ears - She has her mom's much cuter ears.
Hair Thickness - My hair is thicker.
Hair Color - Emily's is a bit lighter then mine.
Weight - Emily had such trouble gaining weight and growing for the first year of her life, that she is much lighter then me at that age. Now she is growing at a normal healthy rate, thanks to a wonderfully kind Heavenly Father for healing and blessing her.
