Context

Some things are cute on babies and small children. For example, onesies, pacifiers, toothless grins and the outfits our children choose. But these things just wouldn't work for adults.

The last couple weeks, I've been surprised at the number of people commenting on how much AUSTRIA looks EXACTLY like me, while Anya looks like a "mix" of John and I. This is odd because most people since Anya's birth have commented that she is the "spitting image" of me. Then, with Austria's birth, most people comment she looks a little bit like John!

At first I thought, maybe Austria is starting to look more like me! How flattering! Then I realized the REAL reason people are saying this: I'm 30 weeks pregnant. Pregnancy for me means CHUBBY CHEEKS! So while Austria's cheeks are adorable (and getting slimmer each year), I don't think they are quite as adorable on me :). So watch carefully, I may end up looking more and more like Austria when she was a baby:

And then I may start pulling faces like this cute one:
