Much to my mother’s dismay, the kids started calling Troy “Chub” or “Chubs” shortly after birth.???? I started it by accident by telling everyone that Troy was my biggest baby to date.?? While Tanner was born at 9 pds 11 ounces, he lost weight quickly and never looked rolly polly as an infant.?? Troy though, had some substance at birth (even at 5 pounds).???? It is all very ironic really because Troy is (as stated yesterday), only in the 8th percentile for weight (meaning 92% of babies his age are heavier than he is) but still, those little rolls on his legs are the first for our household and we LOVE them.

Love the nickname 🙂 All my babies were like Troy, I love it too 🙂 Now my kids are all toothpicks, like their dad. Why can’t I be 🙁 Justin is 27lbs and he is 3. Still wearing 12 months for shorts & 24months for pants (and depending on brand, they are still big) By the sounds of it, Troy is active like Justin was and still is, he will loose all those cute little rolls quick. Enjoy while you can 🙂
Michael’s nickname for Micah when he was a baby was, “chub-a-bub.” We still call him “Chub” or “Chubba.” Terrible, I know…it just kinda stuck even tho he is no where near chubby now. Not sure how much longer we will get away with calling him that! 🙂
Hello, I stumbled across this website as I was also searching for what was going on with my son. I have one son diagnosed with epilepsy at age 8, now his younger brother complaining of exactly what you are posting! I am terrified to have 2 with e!!! I am also a homeschooling mama of 4:)
