Must be the egg nog and Sinatra Christmas tunes.
I’m feeling all snuggly and nostalgic.
And can we please be done with the “Where does the moosh get her curly hair/is her hair naturally curly/she looks just like her daddy” comments?
Because I really think I’ve just proven that 90% of her awesomeness comes from me.
making unbreakable - formerly moosh in indy. 
It’s true. I also bet that she inherited your land of golden flowers and diamond encrusted ponies, “Down there”, too.
GRIN.

There is a huge resemblance! I get the same comments, “Is eClaire’s hair naturally curly”
I feel like saying, “Seriously?? You think I can somehow hold a 1 year old down long enough to curl her hair every day?” And furthermore, why would I? 🙂 Those are some really cute pictures.

Oh, the cuteness! My girls are blond, and everyone wonders where that came from, but of course both Steve and I were blond babies. The sad part is that I had moosh curls too, but somehow neither of my girls have them now.

moosh is too freaking cute and I really really can’t believe people ask you if here hair is naturally curly. sadly my Squidge looks exactly like her dad. The only thing she got from me are her brown eyes. In fact she apparently looks like her paternal grandmother. The same grandmother who refuses to meet her and doesn’t acknowledge that she exsists- yep tell me that doesn’t piss me off!

She totally looks just like you. Anybody who says otherwise is a liar, liar pants on fire.
I have the same issue. The Toddler apparently is only genetically tied to her father. She does look a bit like him, but if there is any part of her that doesn’t, everybody searches for some relative in that bloodline that she must have gotten that trait from. Her very fine light brown hair? Not mine. It’s her Daddy’s Third Cousin’s Uncle’s hair. It’s just coincidence that it’s the exact freakin’ same color as mine.

Do I get extra points for never saying she looked like her dad or asking if her hair was naturally curly or where she got her curls? No? Shucks.

Holy Cow!! the moosh has a twin 🙂 I love the pictures with the kitties. Babies and kitties separately are so squish-able, put them together and the cuteness just oozes. When..if..the good Lord decrees it, I hope my little ones don’t look like me lol, ok they can inherit the curls.

OF COURSE it comes from you! There’s also that freaky tongue thing too. When people ask you that, just have her stick out her tongue. And that super expressive face? All you.
