alex is taller than marty.

alex no longer just has hair on his head and eyebrows (it's kinda everywhere now).

alex sleeps in super late on summer mornings.

and on occasion, alex does not smell so human.

but even with this galaxy of change ...

alex is one of the most considerate humans i know, young or old. remarkably, his siblings are running neck and neck with him.

alex has one of the greatest natural laughs i've ever heard.

and alex has a natural charisma that makes everyone who knows him wonder where that natural gift will lead him in life.
