    How horrible for this family...and this poor little baby!  Shame on this insurance company for calling a 4 month old obese.  What is wrong with people?!

    It's a very strange situation... why would they even put a weight "limit" on healthy infants, especially under the age of 2!  I was relieved to see this article though:

    I am at work, and a friend sent me the article. Glad this company made it right for this family, and I hope others reconsider similar policies! Thanks Christine.

     This is actually one of our local families here in town. He is a part time news anchor, I think.

    Anyway, glad the insurance company didn't say the same thing about Antonio. He was about the same weight when he was 4 months old!

    I thought this was obserd. kody was around the same weight at that age. But now he has slowed down in weight since he's been able to move around more. That's outrageous they could do that

    Victor was about 15 or 16 lbs I want to say, but this kid in the pics mammouthed our 4 month old's pictures. He looks MUCH bigger than any of our babies did at that age (except kim's conner LOL). Not that what happened is justified, I'm just saying he looks huge for only 17 lbs and 25 inches!!
