Do any of you moms of heavier/taller babies get tired of people telling them how "big" their baby is? There are so many special things about my son...can't you say "Look at those big blue eyes!" or "What a great smile!" instead of "Ten months? Wow -- he's a giant!". Just sticking him with such an unflattering label seems so hurtful. As someone who spent my teenage years with a weight problem that led to an eating disorder, I really hate how much stock society puts on size. I'm thin now, but I still carry a lot of emotional scars from being heavy and I don't want that for my children.

Anyone else besides me tired of dealing with this?
