I love the age my daughter Gabrielle is now. At two years old she’s full of personality and you can almost watch the wheels turn in her head as she’s learning something. Every day I wonder where did she learn that from? There are a few things she definitely inherited from me. She loves to dance, sing and is strong willed stubborn,persistent yeah that’s the word.She’ll even tilt her head just so when you’re taking her picture if you ask her to show you her “pretty face”.
For reference, here’s me:

and here is hers:

I swear I didn’t teach her to do that. I would tell her I was sweeping her hair out of her face because I wanted to see how pretty she was and then she started tilting her head and doing this. Well despite those characteristics there are many more that undoubtedly were inherited from her daddy. My daughter looks just like my husband down to every minuscule detail. Long ago I gave up on her having any resemblance of me. I’m fine with that because honestly he did a make a pretty cute girl. For those that don’t know what he looks like picture her but chop off the hair, put it on a grown man and well that’s my husband. Incredibly long and thick eyelashes that makes you think it’s a waste because every morning I try to enhance mine to look like that and to no avail.
One thing she recently started doing was this one particular look. I can assure you she didn’t learn it from me. I would show you one of the 181 reference images I have on my hard drive of my husband giving this exact same ‘look’ because he doesn’t want his picture taken (and yes I know exactly how many images I have with every person I know in them because I’m OCD about tagging them the second they get copied off the memory card but I digress). However, I’m a busy girl and I don’t have time to shop for a new baby daddy, especially one that puts the seat down EVERY SINGLE TIME. Forget about flowers, once you find a guy that will take out the trash unprompted and automatically puts the seat down you need to snag him up and FAST. Throw in a man that cleans up after himself and you’ve met my Prince Charming.
Anyway here’s the “Look”:

As you can tell I’m sure I’ve NEVER ever given anyone this look unless the seat was left up….
