Since my child is constantly shoving fistfuls of food into her mouth like she will never see food again, I was worried about our regular check up at Dr. Carruths. On top of my own fears, Trilby (our family appointed geneticist) kept saying that I should not let Navy overeat because people develop their fat cells when they are babies. I mean, I did always hear my mom tell Tristen that she still had her “baby fat”. Tristen finally told her to stop calling it baby fat when she was in college.
Anyway….I reported all of Navy’s progress, and Dr. Carruth cleared the little thing with flying colors. He actually said she was definitely “above average”. When I asked if he said that to all of the bragging moms, he just smiled his little smile. When he pulled out the chart of where Navy fit in amongst her peers, I started to get a little nervous. Keep in mind that she only weighs about 8 pounds less than Scout, and is 20 months younger. As he started putting his little dots on the graph, I waited to hear the disgust in his voice. Then a miracle happened….
I am proud to announce that my 19 pounder is in the 75% for her head circumference and her height. And is only in the 60% for her weight. So basically, I have a barely-there supermodel in the making. I am looking up the casting call locations for America’s Next Top Model in 2025 right now!
