My MIL complains we don’t send her pics and when I finally sent a couple she says wow what a strong resemblance to her son (my husband). I am at the point where I’m about to say “this is why we don’t send you any pics” or “thanks for your opinion” or just laughing at her message or “cool story.” I could also just ignore it… we shall see if my petty side will win!

I vote for your petty side!
You could also throw out, “Do you make these comments because you assume the children weren’t his?” Just to make her think twice before she says things. Lol
Don’t send any pics! Your husband has fingers, let him text her when she asks.
I’d go with “cool story” and be done with it. Less fuel for her fire.
If you are proficient with photoshop, you should morph your face onto your baby’s face, and see what she says.

Send her a picture of you as a baby.
Just hit her with “wild how genetics work” and move on.
