In the checkout line a woman approached Holden, as women do with the "ooooos" and the "ahhhhhs" followed by a good squeeze of his leg and a "my he's a healthy one, isn't he?"
Jordan and I stopped breathing for a second. Did she just call him the "f" word? After she scurried away, Jordan looked at me wide-eyed void of blinking, he looked down at Holden's pink Michelin Man appendages, then back at me and said, "I think we should have put pants on him."
Holden is frequently referred to as "HEALTHY" and I never gave it much thought, but pinching an inch on his thigh was too much.
I get it ... he's VERY HEALTHY!

Holden now plays peek-a-boo with his blanket. He covers his face and mommy says, "Wheeerrreee'sss HOLDEN?" He pulls the blanket back revealing his big blue eyes and smiles ear to ear. Mommy says, "ThErE HE is!" Holden giggles at his success, and he repeats the process of pulling the blanket back over his face. What's funny about this to me is that he has to be in control of the blanket. HE wants to cover and uncover his face. If mommy does it ... it's just not the same.

Awww! The skinny ones get picked on too, I promise! People looked at me crazy for the longest time when I told them how old Ainsley was b/c she was so underweight compared to "average" babies (whoever they are) and never looked her age. She still looks a little funny standing up and cruising furniture at 17 or 18 pounds...but oh well...we love 'em the way they are don't we? Healthy or underweight...works for me!
He's not f__. He's fluffy. That's this grandmother's point of view.
I love me some Healthy baby. I think the Pillsbury Doughboy says it best "he he!"
