RE: Question for Moms of taller/heavier babies.....
I've been at both ends in the past two years. At 9 months, Colin was in the 10th percentile for weight and 90th for height. At 2 years, he is now in the 80th for weight and off the charts for height! I often hear from people who think that he is three or older, and therefore should be doing three year old things. But honestly, I don't mind. I just smile and say, nope he's only two - just a big guy like his daddy (who is quite tall). I've found that people don't mean anything by it, and when I respond sweetly, they will often stop and talk about other things about Colin. It's like once they get past his size and understand his age, they will take a couple of minutes to catch a glimpse of who he really is. Size is so easy to comment on too because it is so readily apparent (you can see it at a glance or from a distance), whereas seeing pretty eyes or a sweet smile requires being at the right angle at the right moment.
Of course, Colin's size may be more readily apparent because I am only 5'4", and he's already 3' 3"! Anyone want to take a bet on when he'll pass me up in height??
