This weekend #3 and I were at the Clinique counter being helped by a pretty, older woman. She was smiling and making baby talk at #3 when she turned to me and said,
"Don't worry about her legs. My daughter had very fat legs too and she now she is thin. She'll grow out of it, so don't worry."
As if people grow up looking anything like their former baby bodies! We would all be walking around with beach ball heads and have bum cracks that go half way up our backs.
I've never worried about my fat babies. In fact, I love fat babies. I prefer them that way. So there, lady!

Oh, please lady!! Are you serious? Who says something like that? Someone is missing a few cups out of the cupboard (and I'm not pointing any fingers at the Clinique counter).
Fat bottomed babies, you make the rockin' world go 'round!
She was probably a fat kid . . . teased relentlessly for her obesity. Maybe. Either that, or she has the social skills of a sign post.
There are just some comments out there that are meant to be ignored, despite their intent. As if for one second you ACTUALLY thought that those rolls would be there forever?! Bless her heart... but what a nut!!
You should have asked her if her hair would grown in and if she would always have only 4 teeth? That lady obviously has a magic ball somewhere and can see into the future.
There's nothing cuter in the world than a chubby baby! People are so dumb. When I was 1, my pediatrician had the nerve to discuss with my mother putting me on a diet. DUH.
Oh, how I wish I could experience the chubby baby - it is so cute. You never see a gerber baby or gap baby without the rolls so BRING IT ON! I thought ALL babies came like that but I'm three for three on the itsy bitsy babies. I wish they had some fat rolls to squeeze!
I think that registers with one of those didn't really think of what this means before I said it comments. I laugh about your beach ball head and bum crack comments. My daughter has always been skinny--from the beginning and finding clothes has been torture until whomever the blessed person was that invented adjustable waists. I feel a post coming on.
That reminds me of Winston Churchill's response to the woman who chided him, "You, Sir, are drunk." And his response was, "Yes, and you, Madam are ugly. But in the morning, I shall be sober." Sorry for the random comparison of your beautiful baby to a drunk chubby british man.
