There may be, somewhere in the world, a father that thinks his daughter is cuter than mine.
But he is clearly insane. Unlike me. Who is not.
Ellen is ten and a half months old now, and ever since she was born I’ve been telling Lisbeth, “I think this is it — maximum cuteness” and “She just can’t get cuter. It’s just not possible” and “I don’t think I can take much more of this.”
But then she goes right on getting cuter. So much so that when I look at pictures of her from three or six months ago I think, “Well sure, she was sort of cute, I guess… but look at her now!”
But, like house prices, Ellen’s cuteness cannot go up and up indefinitely. No. It must peak at some point, and then go down. It just must. It defies the laws of the universe, this.
Not that I’m complaining, especially since she has a personality to match her cuteness. In fact, there may be, somewhere in the world, a father that thinks his daughter is more charming than mine… poor fool.
I completely agree! Every time I see a new picture of her, I am astonished that she is even more beautiful than the last picture. What a darling! You and Lisbeth are so lucky.
LOL!!! Oh man, does she have you where any little precious sweet wonderful child wants their papa – wrapped around her cute little dimpled finger! I agree, the cuteness must stop but I haven’t figured out when, yet… Even Arthur, in his teens now, seems to keep growing in charm and looks… I can’t tell you…
very good pictures I think that she has changed but she still has some of the same characteristics she had she has round cheeks which remind me of Benjie and look at his cheeks now
Don’t worry, we have about 14 years before the cuteness is replaced by sullenness and petulance. And on that cynical note, Happy New Year!
There is no question Ellen is amazingly cute but we also have a case of maximum cuteness. Only our vision is not blurred by genetic bias. We have decided then that we hold the title for maximum cuteness. So sorry. You should retitle your entry maximum cuteness #2.
