I keep meaning to get over here to update. I had lots to say but can’t remember much anymore.<\/p>\n
Today we went to mom and dad’s for a visit. My grama kept saying that Hollace is getting fat and it was pissing me off. I finally told her that comments like that are what is making girls develop eating disorders. But it wasn’t until I finally just told her to shut up that all of a sudden she started saying that Hollace had a perfect shape. She was worried that since she “was fatter” than the last time she seen her that she was going to be a fatty. She then went on to say that when she was in 4th grade she weighted 140 lbs and 160 by 6th grade. Hollace is 73 lbs in 3rd grade. I say she is just right.<\/p>\n
That said, I have began to wonder if she is gaining too much weight. She isn’t fat by any stretch but I have begun to notice she has a little tummy where she use to not. Also I noticed her thighs are fuller. She even complained the other day that her thighs were chaffed by her thighs.<\/p>\n
According to the charts I just looked up, she is in the 75 percentile for both weight and height. She is 54″ which made me realize this week that she doesn’t need to be in that darn booster seat in the car. When I got that car seat I made a mental note that the limit was 80 lbs. And I recalled that the law mentioned something about 8 year old. But looking up the law on line, the rule is 49″. As I just said, she is 54″ and over 8.5 years old. So I ditched the car seat. Hollace is thrilled.<\/p>\n
Even though she is far from a fatty as grama kept saying, I need to keep an eye out. She has been enjoying one too many pizzas lately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
