My Little Rugrats

Yesterday Nora was officially 10 months old.  Every month seems to be a different adjustment as she learns new things.  She is crawling now, and for the life of me I can't seem to keep her out of the kitchen or keep track of her.  Soon she'll be walking then I'll really be in trouble.  The other day I thought about how the parents on Rugrats had trouble keeping track of their kids.  Rugrats used to be one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid, but by the time the movies and the "All Grown Up" series came out I too was too grown up.  

With having a hard time wrangling Nora I see her curiosity, bravery, and her bald head, and it makes me think of Tommy Pickles. 

If Nora is Tommy then that puts my favorite big guy as Tommy's cousin; Angelica.  For several years Logan was the first and only child, with five adults waiting on his every need.  This made him a little spoiled and gave him a little temper when he doesn't get his way.  He sometimes is jealous of the babies, but somehow always tries to find a way to bring the attention back to him.

 Of course this all makes Amelia Tommy's best pal, Chucky.  Chucky always seems to be tense and always gives a disapproving look to whatever Tommy is about to do.  Amelia isn't as big and loud as her cousin and being a few months behind sometimes can be over-shadowed.  I have a feeling Nora is going to be leading Amelia into trouble her whole childhood.

These are my little rugrats and I love them all to death.  I love wrestling with Logan, I love making Amelia smile, and I love every different expression Nora makes.  I may not be a toy inventor but sometimes I feel just as unprepared as Stew about his child growing up.  But I'd like to thank Rugrats for helping me understand what is going on in their little baby minds!
