He Gets it From His Mama

I've been hearing that a lot lately in regards to Croix's size. He's tiny. At our Dr. visit for his cold (I just rolled my eyes) he of course got weighed. He's up to a whopping 16.3. Geez! I calculated it on the growth chart and the puts him in the 9%! After telling a few people that and hearing the same thing "He must get that from you" I thought humm I wonder if he did. I know I'm small now, I know I was tiny when I was born, 4.3, and I remember being small in school. It was always me and Eva Dickey who were the smallest in the class all of elementary school. But did this mean I was a small baby too, was I under the 10%?? So I called up my mom and told her where Croix is on the growth chart and how people keep saying he must get it from me, so I was just wondering, was I always super small? Was I really low on the growth chart too? She laughed and said "You fell off the chart!" I thought I'd heard her wrong or something so I said what? She repeated, yeah you fell off the chart, you were so small. You only weighted 16 lbs and wore a size 2 shoe at a year! You were really funny walking around, you looked like a midget. HA! Well Maybe I shouldn't worry about Croix too much if he already weighs as much as I did at a year at 7 mo. Of all the things for my SON to get from me it's my size? Blah! Boys are supposed to be big and tough! He's a little clone of Brent only miniature sized I guess. Oh well he eats great and developmentally is right on so I will choose not to worry.

Just for fun, this is how much the look a like!

He's just like Kendal. She is long but a twig. And I worry about her all the time. I have to tell myself she is fine. He looks like he has more rolls then her though.

I have never thought of Croix as small, but I guess when Hudson is 14lbs and Croix is 16lbs and they are 4 months apart, that doesn't quiet add up... we just have the two extreme ends of the spectrum:) Nobody believes me when I tell them Hudson is three months. Croix is darling and the rest of him will catch up to those feet someday.

Adele is 2 this Friday and only weighed 20 pounds at her appt. 2 weeks ago. She has never even seen the chart and she's fine. I was the same way and grew up to be just as fat as the rest of the world!
