Tribute to The Snorty Face

This is a special blog post and a subject matter that I hold very near to my heart. When Moose was very small he began to make this squishy-faced snort when any air blew in his face. I thought it was just too cute. My laughter gave him approval to continue the behavior at other times. What began as a squishy slowly evolved into the Infamous Snorty.
While I would like to think that this is a unique and silly quirk that my son solely posesses, that is just not true. In fact, its actually quite a common phenomenon amongst the kiddos. Turns out even I did it often as a young babe. And yet, what is unique is each child's style of Snorty. Its true that no two Snorties are alike! Some are silly, some are aggressive, and some are just plain cute. Want proof? Check out these adorable Snorties, in no particular order of snorty-cuteness.


Thank you to those of you who generously shared your snorty cuteness to make this tribute possible. I am very sorry if you contributed but don't see your picture up here. I tried to find all the e-mails but it is possible that some ended up in the Spam box (hey! that's not Spam, its a Snorty!). I hope you enjoyed this modest little tribute to something I love very much.

Kaden still does the snorty face too! He does it when he's really, really concentrated on something or when he's really excited. Here's a pic of K doing his snorty face
