Not long after Little Miss was born a small hemangioma appeared on her chest. I wasn't too worried. Her pediatrician often pointed it out in those first weeks of her life and told us it would most likely develop into a strawberry shaped mark and start to break up at about a year of age. Instead of forming a strawberry shape it formed more of an "x," I started calling it her extra chromosome. It was my little reminder of that special part of her.
And that's what it looked like to me. And, well, I took a lot of science classes in college.
I pointed this out to her doctor which he got a kick out of and then would refer to it the same way every time he saw her. I noticed recently it's starting to change a little. It's starting to do those things her doctor said it would when it begins to break up and eventually disappear. It made me just a touch sad. It means that she's getting older. Moving out of the baby phase. Into the toddler phase. I wonder how she'll feel about always being my baby. No matter how big she gets.
Tell me how you really feel.

I'm thinking she didn't want her picture taken...in that manner. That's just what I'm thinking she is thinking.
