I got Charlotte's 6-month photos in the mail the other day, from my AMAZING photographer Angela Majerus. Charlotte continues to look a little less like her sister each time we put her in front of good lighting and someone that doesn't shoot in Green Square Mode. I still see similarities, but they're not as strong as they used to be.
Here they are at 6-months. Claire on the left, Charlotte on the right (in both).
Really, when we started with newborns that looked like identical twins, I think it's amazing how different they are turning out to be, which is probably the dumbest statement of the century. KIDS ARE DIFFERENT. HOW ABOUT THAT?
(Charlotte on the left, Claire on the right.)
Yes, when you tweeted the six month pictures (adorable!), instead of thinking "she looks like Claire" I thought "she looks like Chris!"

Isn't it amazing to watch babies turn into people?!?! I know that's a stupid thing to say but watching them grow and change just blows my mind

They both photograph so well. I suppose that is just because they are so adorable.

They really did look identical as newborns. They still look alike now, but you can at least tell them apart. Both of them are adorable though!

They are SO CUTE. But yes, differences are starting to appear! Although I love how they have that same open-mouthed glee.

you make adorable children!!! I would start writing on this pictures or labeling the files, b/c they are going to be so hard to tell apart!!

It may be an obvious statement, but lately I find myself saying it daily. And every time I tell someone how baffled I am that my kids are such polar opposites I'm met with a general look of "well duh". But, like your girls, mine started out looking like twins who were born 2 years apart, and now that they're so vastly different? A bit bizzare to me.
Your girls are too cute for words, good work momma.

My sister and I look a little similar but (in my opinion) VERY different and yet we get asked ALL THE TIME if we're twins. Like, IDENTICAL twins. People are so weird.

Written notes on the back of the photos are still best. You won't believe how hard it becomes to tell them apart after your eyes are older and tired(er), and your memory runs downhill. Cheri has posted some photos of herself and sister, and I had to pull the paper photograph out of the album to check the identity. Of course, it's harder to notate electronic photos. Anyway, I sure enjoy the photographs of your lovely daughters!

Your girls do look very similar but they you can definitely see a difference as Charlotte is getting older. They are just both so adorable.
