Spot the difference!

Today is Nutty's 5th month on earth, and coincidentally America's birthday too. The jury is still out on who she looks like more - me or Nick, but I still contend she looks more like me, only bearing a similarity to him when grumpy or sleeping. But actually, she looks most like my sister, check out our baby pictures below and compare for yourself.

Anyways, the munchkin is starting to assert herself more and registers her displeasure whenever something doesn't go her way.

For example, when she wants to be upright she will wriggle and protest while on her back, and if she's not picked up in 10 seconds, she'll wail like there's no tomorrow and as if the whole world is against her! And once you pick her up and walk a bit, she'll go, "Hmpfff" and give you a look saying, "Didn't you get the memo that I like to be upright these days?"

But she has the cutest giggle, and it's easy to make her laugh. Just act like a total idiot and throw all caution to the wind! Funny faces and sounds repeated over and over again do the trick. She also drools like nobody's business, sucks incessantly on her mittens and puts everything into her mouth, especially the furry parts of toys!

I miss her blobby newborn days when she would just sleep all day and stay still!
