1. I do see your mutual resemblance! Especially Stephen looks a lot like your dad when at about the same age.

   1. Yes. I noticed that also. Stephen looks so much like our Dad at that age.

2. Reblogged this on Roaming Urban Gypsy and commented:

   Got the Side by Side idea from a YouTube video where people put their baby pictures next to a parent or grandparent photo at around the same age.

3. What fab photos. I have a picture of my father aged about 4 years wearing a sailor suit. Must have been taken about 1925.

   1. I believe that this photo was taken around 1935. My Dad was born in 1930.

      1. I always think our parents and grandparents look so good in old photos. Perhaps because having ones photograph taken was a special event in those days. Also monochrome helps! This ha# made me think I’ll look out some old pics tomorrow.
         I’ve certainly enjoyed viewing yours. I had a dress similar to yours too.

      2. Thanks. Photography was a rare special occasion. As this professional photo was taken at James Van Derzee studio my Grandparents must have saved money for this moment. I’m sure that they celebrated the fact that my Father lived since the baby boys that came before died from polio in childhood. Dad was the only boy to survive.

         As a child my Father bought clothing for me. I remember many trips to Macy’s Herald Square.
         Photographs are visual Time Capsules. So in this post we have gone from the 1930s into the 1960s when Stephen and I were children.

      3. My mother used to make my dresses.
         I’ve googled James Van der Zee. Wow! He’s famous . How amazing that you have a photograph he took. I’m going to read more about him now. Thank you for broadening my horizons once more. 😊

   2. Stephen as a child looks a lot like our Dad at around the same age.

5. But commonly boys resemble their moms and girls resemble their dads.

   1. True. As I got older and even now I look like my Dad. Stephen has our Mom’s skin tone. However when he faces a certain direction he looks just like Daddy.

      1. It is only you and Stephen?

         January 16, 2019 at 1:51 pm

      2. Yes. We’re the only ones left. The last two Palmers. Our parents had the two of us and closed up Shop.
