For the last month I’ve been saying “I wonder how much Reese weighs now!?” because, duh, she’s been growing.
But the thing is, she’s been growing A LOT.
Remember how I mentioned on facebook that at her two week check she had already gained a pound?
Well, last Thursday Reese had her 2 month check-up.
{Yes, TWO months…I know…I KNOW!}
Homegirl is weighing in at 12 lbs, 8 ounces.
That puts her in the 90th percentile for her weight.
She started at 7 lbs, 3 ounces.
My head kind of exploded.
Then in my head, I gave myself a pat on the back.
The night before her appointment the girls & I were at a park. Another mom came up and asked how old Reese was. I told her eight weeks. She looked at Reese, then back at me and says in the sweetest voice it was sickening, “Wow…she’s sturdy!”
Sturdy!?
Yes…STURDY.
I was telling her pediatrician the story and her jaw about dropped then she busted out laughing. She said she wouldn’t call Reese sturdy…she’d call her…thriving.
Apparently that’s the P-C way of saying your baby is a little chubster.
So, y’all, my girl is not sturdy. She’s thriving.
All almost 13 pounds of her. Got it!?
"Thriving" – I'm going to use it for Fischer (who at barely 4 months is weighing in at over 18 lbs. – THRIVING).
She is absolutely adorable, too, by the way! PRECIOUS!
Fischer is straight up preparing for the zombie apocalypse! :) He's seriously the cutest little baby!
sometimes it's not even the choice of words a stranger uses it's the tone/inflections they use. maybe someone should tell that lady she's thriving and see what she thinks of it…
she's adorable. all almost 13 pounds of her!
Hahahah, thank you, I think she's pretty much the cat's pajamas. :)
She's perfect!!!!!! :)
Thank you…I agree 100%! ;)
Sturdy is what you call a table, NOT A BABY!
Cute lil chubster. E has been like that since day 1 and you know what? Homegirl is STILL "thriving" . She's bigger than a lot of 3 y/os heehee.
