[quote=jindc]I know it's not intentional, I just think of all the things to comment about a beautiful, healthy baby....a nickname being 'chunky monkey' just seems....unnecessary. Cutie Patootie? Smiley face? I don't know. My SIL's kid is like 30lbs and not 6 months old, and ALL I hear about is how big he is. My husband was a "failure to thrive" baby, too, so maybe it's just their family really care about this stuff? I know it could easily be me projecting, I just really hope I don't fall in to the trap of calling my baby chubby (because how do I really know when they grasp that concept of being called chubby?). I do know they don't understand you that early. BUT, if it's normal for people to call their kids this, I'm glad I know now. I really never thought about it until I became more pregnant and noticed how many do it. [/quote]
