The other day we were discussing Grigg's sturdy stature with Matt and Jessie. As my lenthy experience of 6 months has made me an expert on babies - suppress the giggles my friends - I know that he is at the top of the pack. Or to be completely honest, shoots right on past the top and off the graph for weight. Now I won't say I'm worried about it, because who doesn't love a chubby baby, however there is always the little voice in the back of my mind that says "is my baby normal??"
In our discussion, Matt in all his wisdom (and as one of Grigg's favorite people -besides Mike and myself of course) had a very astute remark. As we were discussing Grigg's healthy frame Matt cleverly said "he's just formidable!" Frankly, I wasn't sure of the real definition so I had to actually look up the word formidable. "Of discouraging or awesome strength, size, difficulty, etc; arousing feelings of awe or admiration because of grandeur, strength, size etc; of great strenth forceful; powerful."
Maybe not a completely accurate description of our puffy little man but I think "of awesome strength, size and arousing feelings of awe or admiration becasue of...size" seems pretty good to me. From now on Grigg is no longer chubby but formidable! Thanks Matt for the vocabulary lesson.
