I took DD shopping this afternoon, a bit overdue, she's been squeezing herself into her size 11 and 12 shorts from last year, so I assumed I would be shopping for a size 14.

WRONG. Most of the 14s were too snug and one of the size 16s (at Target) was even too small. Ok so maybe she's starting to get hips but c'mon. That's crazy. She looks mostly fairly lean all over but she's getting a little tummy...is this normal at this age or is she eating too much and not exercising enough? (she's 12 and starting to get booblets too).
