Aw, he has the same look
my little nephew gets when he can't figure out
how I got his nose.

What does this expression mean? Oddly enough I couldn't find it.

Not a teacher only a native.

The speaker is refering to a common trick played by adults on young children, called 'I've got your nose!' or words along those lines.

I've got your nose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

YouTube - ‪Daddy! I want my nose back!‬‏

The child is often puzzled as they actually think the adult has removed their nose.
