DD#2 was an absolute porker when she was little too - her 6 week growth spurt nearly killed me, she shot up from 0000 to 00 incredibly fast. Apparently their dad was a lump when he was small too. My first was still covered in the obligatory baby rolls, but she was much smaller and a slower grower and stayed in 000 for maybe 6 months. I don't talk to her dad's family (never have) so I can't find out what he was like as a baby.

I don't know how anyone with multiple children does it on their own. Trying to find a time when baby is asleep and toddler has just pooped so I can have a shower is borderline impossible. We both are home almost all the time, so when one of wants to do something sans children, the other one gets to herd them for a bit. The lump is lovely, its DD#2 who is the problem one. Her latest habit (besides getting right in your face and coughing/licking you/shouting from 2 inches away) is stealing the baby's dummy and running off with it, or hiding it. She even snatches it out of his mouth, which makes him cry. We're really getting the terrible 2's at the moment.
