Looking for a graceful reply to everyone on DH side telling you that all of your kids look like each member of their family
people tell me all the time how much DD looks like DH 100% like I had nothing to do with the process and it annoys me SO MUCH! I usually either say I don't see it or tell them about the other features that she has of mine or resort to "thankfully she has her mothers personality"
I think I might start using the intelligence comment too - I like that one!

DH's family does the same thing to every child. When it's about my DD I just smile and say she is so cute.

"Yeah, but luckily they get their intelligence from my side of the family...."
or
"... Actually, he has the mailman's eyes...."
Except that my FIL IS a retired mailman

Re: Looking for a graceful reply to everyone on DH side telling you that all of your kids look like each member of their family
I get this from a certain member of DHs family. It is to a ridiculous level. For example:
"Look at his toenail shape! That is the same exact middle toenail shape of his Daddy!!!"
 
What I do is focus on the ONE trait that is totally mine - their blue eyes. I just say, "well, that may be so but he definitely got those baby blues from Mommy, & those are some beauties"!!!!!
I like GoldenRod's comment too!

Why does this bother you? Just smile and say something like "Yeah, everyone sees something different!"
great line!
I have had to hear this from them on a regular basis (ILs live 5 min from us) for 3 years!! It would drive anyone crazy.
I know exactly where you are coming from mine do it with my DD and it drives me crazy....now I just ignore them
