Genetics is funny sometimes

Gary's mom loves to tell us how when Gary was a baby, he used to do what they called "piggy snoots" - scrunching up his nose and snorting. Now, this is something she told us about, and (not having the fond memories that she has) not something we ever demonstrated around the girls.

Imagine my surprise when a few weeks ago, Madeline started doing it, completely umprompted. (Shortly thereafter, Elizabeth started doing it too, but that could have been her noticing Madeline doing it and getting a lot of attention for it, so I wasn't quite as amazed!




Here's Gary doing it!
Piggy Snoots!


I mean, I know hair color, and eye color and all of that is inherited, but what amounts to a REALLY specific facial expression? Genetics sure is funny!


And not to be left out, so far as I know this one doesn't come from anywhere, but Elizabeth has noticed that she can make funny noises with her hands.



Stay tuned later this week for a really adorable video of the girls in the bath together. Apparently bath time is HILARIOUS to them (but only when they're both in the bath together.)
