Little people. lolol random whinge

Ok, so, it's a random post, about nothing and we know Mike's genes are probably the culprit here but come on....

we took Ayja for her 2 yr old check with plunket. and ta-da!!!.. she is the grand total of... 10 kilos, in a year she has put on 1 kilogram. Just 1!   The plunket nurse wasn't worried she said as the growth was steady, but i don't think she was terribly happy with the progress either.

i don't feel bad about it mostly as her growth is "steady", but just feel *argh* about how little she is... i know there are far worse problems i could complain about.. but she is only just growing out of her winter pants that i got her ages ago - they are size 0. she was little-ish when she was born.   

I don't mind the littlness.. don't get me wrong, it's very cute but there are plenty of other "little" kids that weigh more, he he, she really just must be a true lightweight.

I guess when your little person isn't "growing" quite as fast as you'd like you just get a bit miffed lol. I should know well enough by now that "blah blah kids grow at their own pace, blah blah" etc.. but am just feeling a bit Jaded.. especially since she eats like a fricken horse.. today she ate 3 and a half full pieces of toast for brekkie. an hour later we went to see Shrek 3 (which is good, but kinda dark and scary for little kids this time i think) and she downed a full drink bottle of drink a small popcorn, half a punnet of lollies (while sitting on daddies knee) then came over to sit on my knee so she could scrounge off paris. this is before the previews even came on might i add..

I do put a limit on their eating, i don't let them eat silly proportions all the time, and no they don't eat constantly. but am amazed such a little person puts away such a large meal. when she has a bath after dinner,you take off her top and her tummy is sooo large she puts santa claus to shame.

ok, random whinge over.
please tell me you guys out there have kids the same. I luv her, shes so little and cute but i think she'll get to the point where she gets a bit grumpy with being so little... especially now that her 1 yr old cousin is the same height as she is. I also worry with her going to the over-twos section.. i know her sis will look out for her but she is littler than the average 2 yr old and some of their nearly 5 yr olds are so so big and rush about. Can't protect her from everything but feel she will have a tendency to get knocked about.

why oh why is she so little?!

i know. I for one looooove her tinyness. but can't help but feel frustrated a little too you know? ah well, at least Jacob sounds about the same.. actually Paris was about 11. something kilos at that age... but so farrr taller. maybe that's what i notice most.

I guess the good thing is she'll love it when she's a teenager and all her friends have big muffin bulges over thier jeans...?

But seriously it must be hard on her and you. As long as she is healthy it's all good I have the other extreme, people always think Joey is much older than he is as he is "so big" people always expect more of him as they think he is older.

OMG My 'baby' girl at her 9 month Plunket visit (2 months ago now!) was 11.1kgs!!!!! Proof that kids vary GREATLY!

As long as you know she's healthy, that's all that matters. And worry about nasty girls making up rumours when that particular time comes

Gosh, I can ramble! All of that was to say I know how you feel, Janine!

he he, yeah. We already get the comments about being a ginga...

my newphew hemi is tiny tiny features tiny in wight there is 6 months between james and hemi and james out wighs him by 6kg its mad but hemis mum and dad are tiny people(as in short and skinny) so we just think its his geans i,m sure ajya will be albe to hold her own with the big kids jannie she has guts and cheekyness

That sux!! I was called that too! "Anna anorexic" (was a lot thinner at high school - I ate heaps but just stayed really thin). Kids can be so nasty and teasing is so damaging

Dont worry too much. If she is really active and like you say eating really well I wont worry at all. I had a huge fit with my first Plunket visit and them telling me my girl is underweight. Next time I went was with another nurse and she only picked up slightly in 3 months but she was happy again.

You the mommy and you know your kid the best. And I feel it is healthier for them to eat real food instead of all the crap that kids get fed these days.

And McKayla is still considered really small although she is like really tall and at home she weighs 9.6 at the moment. And dont think she will weigh much more at 2 years anyway.
