| That little guy looks precious. The big one--Wow! 9"? All of mine are tater tots in comparison.  I hope you can get closer clearer pics next time. I know...it's a bear with the little ones. Try using your zoom if you have one.  |

 I am curious to see if I'm right down the road. But they both are pretty wide through the shoulders even though the photos don't show that very well. Even the wee one has is nicely proportioned body line - wide through the shoulders/head compared to the rest of the body. The larger one has a good body form, but the pecs concern me...look male to me. But in two years we'll all know for sure right? LOL | |
