remembering chicken legs

As I changed Leni yesterday, I was struck by the fact that my newborn has been replaced by a baby. She had funny little chicken legs (fat thighs, skinny calves), and was generally stringy (see photo). Now, she's certainly not a fat baby, but she has the solid legs and arms that will serve her well as she starts to move, crawl, and eventually walk. I feel vaguely ridiculous for saying this about my four month old, but she's growing up, right before my very eyes.

Look at her cute little chicken legs! Merry Christmas Leni.
