"Normal"

As I was reading this post by Amalah the other day, I couldn't quite figure out what it was about the nothing-but-a-BumGenuis-diaper photos of baby Ezra that looked so right-but-not-quite-right to me.

At first, I thought it was just because it was a photo of a baby who is not Peeper in the same "outfit" that Peeper is usually wearing these days, but then I thought, "No, something is missing . . . ."

The scar.

I am not used to seeing an infant's naked chest without a scar down the middle of it, and I guess my eyes had forgotten that they don't all have them.

I haven't quite decided how I feel about that.
