A BIG baby


It is natural for people to stop and look at your child when you are out in the street...what I find funny is that for the past month or so, everyone has thought that my 2 month old baby is actually 6months old. For example, I was in line at the restroom where this woman was like, "wow, how cute, what is he...like 6 months"? I was like, "oh God no, he's only two, lol". She had this look like, oh damn that's a big baby....but then I went on to explain that he was big from birth, and that always seems to make it alright. Oh like how I saw one of my girlfriends and her new baby, who is a little older than Donovan. I was like, wow, he small compared to my chunky monkey...and at the time I didn't know she took offense to it, until she met Donovan and was like, "now I see why you thought my man was small...you have a whopper over there, lol" I was like, "yeah, I told ya".

And then there is the issue of his clothes. Now, when he was born, even though he was almost ten pounds, he could still wear newborn clothing. I was actually kinda proud that he could...cause it was automatically assumed that he was wearing 3month clothes when he was first born. So as nice as it was for him to wear these smaller clothes...it seems like he's skipped the 0-3 month stage of clothing. He made 3 months today...and he is comfortable in the 3-6 month stuff I have him in, and can even wear some 6-9 month clothes which just don't make sense. I was packing away his stuff that's too small so that he doesn't have to be embarrassed by wearing extra smedium clothes, and realized that he had alot of stuff that I would have loved to see him wear. Oh well....let's hope the next baby is a boy and can benefit where Donovan couldn't.

Lastly, I love shoes for myself, and I am greatly enjoying building up his shoe collection. Which, I know is pointless since his feet are going to grow super fast, but I think he looks cute in his little man shoes and sandals. This one lady told me she likes to see kids barefoot looking like country bumpkins...I was like, "not my child"... he is going to be used to wearing shoes now, so that they stay on later...I don't know why people like to have their babies outside in pj's and barefoot...makes no sense....
