Not sure if you noticed, but Chins has undergone an awful lot of vertical growth during the past several months (oh wait, I was AWOL, so nevermind) and has only been shrinking in girth. He even fits some of the pants and diapers he had grown out of in the fall.
What this means is that he does, in fact, have only one chin now. Besides, just in case he's a chunky kid like his old man was (is?), I figure I should nip this particular nickname in the bud before it causes lasting harm. I won't be able to afford his years of therapy as it is.
So innernets, meet Red. Fairly appropriate, no?
Now I just need to decide if my blog needs a new name. No zygotes have been around here for a loooooong time...
Too bad you weren't blogging for a while, or we could have witnessed the gradual change from cute baby to handsome boy!

Glad you're back!

Welcome back - Red's a cutie! And that looks like one fine handknit sweater he's wearing (just guessing)!

I had noticed Red's more svelte look! It's amazing how all those rolls do eventually get "burned off" by all that vertical growth.

It is a hand knit sweater in fact, from Red's farmor (that is, paternal grandmother). He was just on the verge of outgrowing it when he started slimming down again. Thankfully it now looks like it will last through the spring. You hate to think that so many hours might go into something that wouldn't get worn!

Aw, he lost his chins. He's so grown up looking! I'm loving the red hair.

Keep the name... A brand identity should not be taken for granted! At this point ZD is your virility's public image.
I suggest thinking about some natural brand extensions such as shirts, lens caps, golf umbrellas, etc.
