No Necks and Whole Necks

So one of the questions that passes our minds when I'm pregnant is: Will this child have a neck? Because as you all know, Mike has no neck, and I have a whole neck. Mike has often wondered what life would be like with a whole neck. He swears he'd at least be 2 inches taller with a neck. T-Shirts wouldn't be like turtlenecks. He would've actually be able to wear his football helmet on his head rather than on his shoulders and his ties wouldn't have to tie around the bottom of his hairline. What would it be like to turn your head to see behind you instead of having to turn your whole upper torso? Yes, the woes of a no neck. So out comes Kira and guess what? Yep, that's right, no neck.



Here they both are. Notice the lack of neck. That's right folks, there's not much there.


Still not much of a neck on the girl. She is stinkin' adorable, no neck and all.

Check out the Christmas pic. Notice there is a bit of a strain for the two no necks to get their heads up. Another impairment of the no neck. Lack of mobility in moving your head as compared to a whole neck. I'm starting to think this should be a categorized disability. :) So the question is: Is Chase a no neck or a whole neck? Everybody knows it's hard to tell on a baby because they are typically no necked for a while, but I think I have determined accurately what baby Chase is.

A half neck!!! He definitely has got something there. Not as much as me, not as little as Mike, but right in between. I'm pretty sure I've now got a half neck. I wouldn't trade my no necks and half necks for a whole world full of whole necks. I love them to pieces.

So my family sent me this picture with this caption "The rest of Mike's neck". They told me they found the rest of Mike's neck at a baseball game. Yes, they even documented it with a picture and sent it to us. This man has Mike's two inches. I guess I'd have to call that a double decker necker.
