It's weird because she doesn't look just like all other newborn babies.
I mean, I thought they did! I thought they all looked like wrinkly little Martians and wondered what bizarre crack people were smoking when they said "oh, she looks just like her great-aunt Leda" when, hello, Martian.
But now in quick succession seeing N and Jacob and Tovar (whom you don't know)...the thing is, they all look different. Yeah, they all look like newborns, and I can't go saying they have a particular individual's nose (except for Jacob who really does have his mom's highly distinctive nose)...but they also look like their families in some very definite way. If you put pictures of all of them in front of me and I hadn't known which went with which of you, just knowing what my three choices were, I'm sure I would have lined them all up right.
