[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is a bigger kid, and I've definitely heard comments about it. There's not much we can do about it that we're not already doing so I don't put much thought into it. I'm normal weight but muscular so I'm at the top of the normal BMI range. My daughter's dad is very muscular and big-boned, so he's up there too. (Think 5'11" and 210.) But we're both healthy, active people. Our daughter weighs 70 lbs at age 8 and has a belly, but her legs and arms are thin and she's very active. She was 90th %ile at birth and is still pretty high up there, but the doctor says she's fine. Try not to worry about what other people say. It's possible they weren't even talking about him. (and if they said something within earshot, that's rude.)[/quote]
