I overheard the funniest conversation today while waiting for my cappucino at the office coffee bar. I suppose every parent has their own ideas about their child’s growth, but I just thought the comments were hillarious when I compared my boys to what the mom in question was saying.
Lady 1: “so he’s talking now and my daughter (didn’t catch their names) did at this age, he’s very clever”
Lady 2: “how old is he, 13 months?”
Lady 1: “No, 16 months”
Lady 2: “He’s very big, compared to your daughter”
Lady 1: “Yes, he’s huge, he already weighs 10KG (22lb) and she only weighs 12kg (26lb) and she’s 4!!”
Lady 2: “My word, that’s a rugby player in the making”
OMW, did I laugh! Connor is the same age as her son… and the last time he was weighed at 13 months, he was already 14.5kg (32lb)! Her son is tiny man… there’s no rugby player there!
LOL!

Marylin
LOL! I think Max is going the same way! He was weighed about a month ago and was 21lbs, at 7 months old.
I get the feeling that he’ll lose a bit of that once he’s moving around more though…
Seems a bit strange to have a 4 yr old who’s only 26lb though… Zack’s pretty slim (albeit tall too) and he’s around 15kg at 3 yrs old.
Janine
Haha – I suppose we all do that sometimes. “my kids are the biggest, smartest, cutest….”
madi
LOL- maybe he’ll be the flyhalf.
Jenty
Marylin, you’re right, she’s very tiny for a 4 year old. Bradley weighed about 18kg at 4.
Dolce
*snort* Clearly, you’re breeding the next props!
Veronica
I am laughing so hard, my 22 month old was about 10kg at 16 months.
And have you seen Amy lately? (Ah, ignore the fact that I haven’t posted photos in a while) she is TINY. (and probably only weighs 11kg atm).
Secret Agent Mama
Davey’s 26lbs and I thought that was big.. Did you know that he was 11lbs 14 oz when he was born?
Corey
aw yes…it certainly is.
Sugar was such a plump baby. She has weighed nearly the same for over a year now. She is growing….but slimming down. 
Sorry I have been MIA. ugh….computer has a virus. I am at work right now sneaking in some computer time. shhhhhhhhh I only work one day a week in the summer, and I am checking some blogs.
BAD COREY!
Fiona
You should have butted in Jeanette and told them about Connor
Stef
LOL… poor thing!

LOL – Kiara weighed that when she was 18 months – so you are right its not actually THAT big or maybe my child was just fat ;-p
