I don't know if you have noticed, but I most certainly have -- Alexis is dangerously close to having only one chin.
I think those stupid front teeth are to blame. They are in a big hurry to show up. The more they come in, the more all that extra neck Alexis has always carried around is disappearing. Like POOF! It's gone. Just like that.
My friends the chubby cheeks are leaving, too. Just one year ago, her face was definitely still round.
Not so much now.
While I'm glad Alexis is finally starting to grow out of her baby fat (truly, I am -- she's at the age where kids make fun of stuff like that and it's always good to avoid the making fun stuff), it makes me think about all of the other things that have disappeared over the years.
The Mary Poppins phase, which happened to coincide with the frog umbrella phase.
Dora, although I don't miss the Latina Whore AT ALL, unless we're talking about this version.
New things have replaced all of those things, but still. Poof! Gone!
At least she still has tiny munchkin feet and a need to make a silly face every time she sees a camera.
