When I ran the acid reflux post a few weeks back, someone mentioned that Harlow's picture looked just like Mazzy's in the header. I thought that warranted a side-by-side.
Don't worry, I'm not going to have them throw down in my living room to see who makes it out alive. Obviously, Mazzy would kick poor Harlow's immobile ass.
But in the land of Evil Baby Glare-Offs, Harlow would win every time.
Mazzy was slightly cross-eyed for a few weeks after she was born, but Harlow was born with eyes that stare straight into the very depths of your soul and say…
"I'm not sure who you are, I don't quite trust you and I might eat you for dinner."
WITNESS…
That's Harlow at less than ten days old. Did you just get a chill down your spine?
How about now…
When she wasn't sleeping, that was pretty much the only face Harlow made for the first few weeks. Then she developed some facial muscles and got increasingly more aggressive.
See her "you really have no idea what you're doing" face…
Her "you're just going to leave me here, aren't you" face…
Her "I'm gonna punch some paparazzi" face…
Her "If you don't trim my nails, I'm gonna claw your eyes out" face…
and finally, her "GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!!" face…
Terrifying. I know.
If she didn't already look like my husband, the perma-scowl definitely threw her over the top.
I can only talk about this now because Harlow has since softened and even lets out a social smile on occasion.
See her "I'm the cutest baby alive face"…
Her "we're gonna fight this acid reflux thing together" face…
And her "I just graduated out of my pajamas!" smile…
What else happened these past two weeks besides Harlow canceling her meetings with the devil?
• I tried to buy a shirt and failed
• Harlow got photographed in a bucket
• Mazzy decided to wear diapers forever
• Mike killed it with the SNOT SUCKER
• HONEST TODDLER stopped by to say "Where's my juuuuice booox!!??"
• We learned twins are easier than knocking up Angelina Jolie
• Our kids got social on the TODDLER FACEBOOK NEWS FEED
• We found out what to do in case of ARMED TODDLER ATTACK
• We multitasked like a mother
And…
• I announced my biggest giveaway to date.
I'm currently giving away a $500 Britax stroller just for telling me your favorite Mommy Shorts post (also accepted: ALL OF THEM). Click here to enter.
Lastly, I'm going to ask for a vote.
There's this Top 25 Funny Moms thing and apparently, I am hanging out at the very unfunny #38. If you have a free second, just hop on over and click that little thumbs-up sign under a very outdated blurb that says I am the mom of a one-year-old. THANK YOU!!!
Next week, I'll be announcing another instagram contest, talking about going back to work and probably continuing to OD on cold medicine.
I hope everyone that was sick is feeling better. If not, I'll be thinking of you every time I pull a facebook-photo-worthy amount of SNOT from the SUCKER.
Have a good weekend!

Arrgghhh, the terror! But then the cuteness totally made up for it. Really, she’s completely adorable either way (as I’m sure you’ve noticed).
She’s so stinkin cute and her eyes may stare into my soul, but they are beautiful! And maybe now a little scarred because no one should see the terrors my children have put my soul through! She should take precautions when staring into people’s depths.
Whichever way you look at her, she’s adorable. Like, really really adorable.
Hugs and kisses!
She is so cute it makes me want to get pregnant again. I hate you for that.
OH, my youngest has that same stare. It cuts right through you. It used to scare off some of the waitresses at one of the restaurants we went to regularly, lol. And now that she is 6, it’s frightening to think of what she is going to use that stare for when she becomes a teen. With 3 older siblings (all of which are teens), she is perfecting her stare now. Lord help the boy who scorns her in public, it’s not going to be pretty!!
She just looks so teeny, but those eyes are GI-normous!!! Very cute. Even the evilness.
So adorable! Thanks for sharing!
Harlow reminds me of one of those adorable little troll dolls with the wild hair on the end of pencils. And I mean that in the best way possible – she’s so cute and her facial expressions are priceless.
Wait til she’s a teenager. Hahaha! She is beautiful
You are the third person to say that. I totally see it 🙂
I make tiny chicken leg babies:)
Mazzy is trying to perfect her evil stare now but she really has to try hard because her default expression is a smile. She purses her lips and narrows her eyes but she just looks like she’s a terrible actress. It makes me laugh which only makes her madder, of course.
See, she just looks soulful and sad to me. Not evil. In one it’s more contemplative, like she’s trying to decide the best place to barf to do the most damage. I don’t get evil though–but I have been trained by an almost-champion of glares.
Now the “claw your eyes out” one is awesome, as is “GET OFF MY LAWN”… 🙂
I guess I have been on FB too long because I was ready to “like” the acid reflux pic;) All of the pics are too cute!
As for the top 25 list… Latest update: you’ve moved up a notch to 37. Slow and steady wins the race.;)
My daughter was the happy type unless someone other than me held her then she has terrified but my sone (one month old) looks constantly worried…like he doesnt trust anyone or anything! he looks so worried al the time.
I feel guilty for saying this because I, like most moms, believe that my baby is/was the cutiest thing on earth, but OMG, that little girl is SO freaking CUTE!
She’s an angel.
“You’re just going to leave me here” face is the cutest thing ever.
My gosh. All the little variations are VERY significant on that adorable little face! It looks like you have some wonderful, thoughtful conversations ahead of you when she is a little older.
Those faces are adorable! And your captions are hilarious!
I needed a good giggle today!
LOL troll dolls. I still have one of those! And she’s funny with the hand on her chin, and the claw your eyes out photo. Other moms would avoid such photos, but not you. Thank you! Hehe. And she looks so tiny in her sleeper/rocker seat!
Fantastic pose of the baby.Really Faboulus eye catching photo are here and the different looks of the baby.
Oh my god I wish you had a lawn so I could come walk on it. Just to see Harlow’s face.
She is priceless. Just like her big sister.
Job well done, mama.
Oh those eyes! If looks could kill! Too funny. Good thing she is showing her softer side now or you all might need to watch out. 😉
