Catching Up - Sucking her fingers

John has teased me from day one of Cora's life that she is my clone. Cora looks so much like I looked when I was that young. She even pouts the same as I did. . . okay, I'll admit it, she pouts the same as I do. You never outgrow pouting, I suppose. I always took John's teasing with a grain of salt. Her personality and mannerisms will probably mirror his - or so I thought. . .

Cora was about a week old, when I too came to the realization that I did not in fact need John's help. Apparently, I could clone myself! You see, I was sitting on the couch holding Cora. I happened to look down and discovered that Cora was happily sucking away on her two fingers the same way I did as a child. It was so amazing and funny at the same time. I'm a little concerned that my mother's prophecy (the "I hope you have a daughter just like you" curse), may have come true. Heaven help John if there are two of us around to deal with!

Me at about 6 months. . .

Cora at about 6 days!
