Like both Mom & Dad: The wonderful thing about babies as that each baby tends to look like both parents, often in different ways. Grandmothers can often provide baby pictures of either parent that look incredibly like the new grandchild. Many babies look very much like their dad when first born, but take on more and more characteristics of the mom as the baby ages. Babies tend to have lighter skin as newborns.
