Mommy vs daddy

    I believe there are some questions that should never be asked, even if they seem benign.
    It starts when you get pregnant, with all the curious people asking you: "So, are you pregnant?" How shall I put it...If I am pregnant and I haven't told you, it means I don't want you to know, so you just put both of us in an embarrassing position. If I am not and you ask, well, you just called me fat. So, there is no good occasion for this question.
    Then, the baby is born and it ALWAYS comes: "Whom does she/he look like?" And worst of all, people ask this while looking at the baby and the parents. Well, are you blind? You can decide. If you can't, probably we can't either, so why don't we let the baby grow a little so the nose  becomes straight, the eyes lose the puffiness and the mouth gets some teeth. It might be easier to guess for everybody at that time...
   Third  pretty stupid question comes when the baby can talk, and this question goes straight to the kid: "Whom do you love more, mommy or daddy". Really, what do people think?? What if the kid really loves them both? You just gave him/her a worry a kid should not have. What if the kid actually picks one of the parents? You just have one parent with very hurt feelings and badly humiliated in front of you. This one question does so much damage, I wonder if people who even consider asking it are complete idiots. But, I guess afraid that at some point they might lose the contest, mommies and daddies around the world fight for the first place in their kid's heart (assuming normal, loving families).
  And this brings me to my little cutie pie. Somehow, Catalina knows all these stories. If I ask a kiss from her, she gives me one and then runs to daddy to give him one also. Same happens if daddy asks her. This happens most of the times, even if one of us is in a different room. When she goes to sleep she needs to touch both of us, so she sleeps with her head on daddy's shoulder and her feet on mommy's face :). She feeds us both when we sit at the table. She knows she has a mommy and a daddy that are madly in love with her and she's not ready to lose either.
  What is the final result? Well, a wonderfully spoiled, loved beyond limits little girl :)

Here we took some snapshots in her pretty duck Halloween costume. Just in case she decides to go trick or treat in jeans and a jacket...:)

Happy family at Fox Chase farm apple festival. Catalina was suffering from allergies to hay (we believe that was the culprit) and was not the happiest kid.
