If you’ve seen the Duggars, you know that the family’s genes are pretty strong. A lot of the siblings look scary alike, and we’re not just talking about how Joseph is John-David‘s mini-me or how people thought that Jana and Jill were the twins when they were younger. When Austin Forsyth entered the picture, though, the game changed.
When he and Joy-Anna Duggar had their son, Gideon, it was like they literally copied and pasted the father to make a new, smaller version of him — and it’s seriously precious. Check out the gallery below to see all the times Gideon looked exactly like his daddy.
“Little Austin!!!” wrote one fan, with another adding, “I see SO MUCH Austin in his little face!!! ❤️”
