Funny you should mention this. My son just got his school pics this past Fri. (He's in 4th grade now.) My son and I like to take all his previous prof. taken pictures out, including school pictures and line them up by age to see how much he has/hasn't changed. To me, he never really looked Asian. To him, he thinks he looks more "American" now. Poor kid, wait until he sees how big his nose will get when he reaches his teens. I love large, pronounced noses on asians - to a certain point. But most of the models in Asia have very large pronounced noses. I'm just happy mine's a neutral nose, not too big or small!

Looks mixed to me, too. Is that you in your av? Anyway, they say that babies resemble their fathers more early on, nature's way of establishing paternity. But they resemble their fathers less over time.

^ i d have to agree. i actually think he s going to grow up to look more white than asian. not that i can say that for sure but from the shape of his mouth and nose, and considering that his eyes will "round" a little, i m pretty convinced he will. quote me on that when he turns 15 ;D like ethel said, it s your perception of it i think: my mom thought i looked full asian and she said once that she loved looking at asian babies because it reminded her of me and my sister. and i do think i looked more asian (though not full like my mom claims) as a baby than your son does. he s really cute btw.
i saw your "double eyelid" post btw, and from this post as well... why are you so concerned about your child s look ? if the eye thing doesn t change, just know that a LOT of eurasians have that. a cousin of mine is extremely pretty and she has it . i think in her case it actually brings her a certain charm, a bit like how one can see heterochromia as beautiful when it can look a little odd to others. not to mention, he s just a baby. the likeliness of his other eye developping a double eyelid is extremely high. i had no double eyelids at all and i started to get a hint of it (outer corner of the eye only) really late. at age 9 i still only had the very outer corners of my eyes as doubled.

^^ word on the last two posts. no offense to you, peachgirl, but full white people are generally blind to a mixed person's mixed-/whiteness. have any asians commented on his looks before? if so, what were their comments(if any)? because usually the case is, asian people would probably think he looks more white. at least that's been the recurring case with most EAs i know, myself included. hapalicious, for example,(who posted above about how some full white people view her as "full asian"), looks clearly mixed to me, maybe even leaning more on the euro side in my opinion. from some white people, i get comments that i don't look "any part white at all", whereas when i'm with full asian folk, i'm singled out as "the white girl". it's no big deal either way, just a matter of experience/relativity/perspective. anyways, like everyone has said so far, he looks mixed to me. adorable baby!

I think it's normal to look (more) asian when we are part it. I don't get why people think it's incompatible to look asian when one is mixed, as if there was a failure somewhere.. Furthermore It's not because he looks asian that he couldn't look like you, he surely has similar facial lines or expressions. You have to see beyond the race..

Depends on what you mean by whiter, more 'caucasian' or more 'light-skinned' which are not the same things, but you could get whiter both ways in that sense.

^ attilathehun513 are you an eurasian? Yes, if that means either being part Asian/European, European, or Asian; I am strictly Asian, though

Eurasian means being an asian-european halfcaste or pure eurasian like from eurasian parents. Or I being from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, etc.
