Just Like Mommy

There is a photo of me, at 6 weeks old that I've had in my posession for a long time. from the first moment I saw my sweet little Cupcake, I thought she looked like me. The more features that developed in those first few weeks, the more I was convinced that she looked like that photo. I would just stare at her, and really felt like I was looking at myself. Well, my mini-self that is.

So I dug up the pic, confirmed the age with my mom, and looked at my little one with wonder. How is it possible that she can look so much like me, but like her daddy at the same time?! I love that she looks like me. It makes me feel special, because I think she is the most beautiful thing on this earth. It makes me feel proud, that so much of me is within her. It makes me proud that we created such a beautiful child together and then it makes me feel defensive when anyone else seems to think she looks like her dad! She is gorgeous regardless....but her looking like mommy sounds like a better deal, if you ask me.
