Today my parents (Mimi and Papa) took Madeline to the zoo. After seeing these photos on Mom’s Facebook I realized the following things:

She's quite the cheeky little thing... always making those faces.

No matter how much I dislike animals...

Though I may not be the biggest animal fan...

... I think I can try to get over it for her sake. She loves them!

That tongue really creeps me out though. I never said I had to accept that.

Giraffes are cute. That tongue really creeps me out though. I never said I had to accept that, did I?

She may only have a bit of peach fuzz, but I wouldn't want her sweet head to be any other way.

Coincidentally, the only time she really looks like me is in her "chubby" pictures. I'll take it.
