Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt: Skinny

Theme: Skinny | Become a Photo Hunter

The first and only subject that came to mind for this category is my youngest son, Jesse.

Jesse's birthday
This was on his 14th birthday last September. He’s about 5’9″ or 5’10” and weighs 134 lbs. (though I am surprised it’s that much). When he was younger his brothers used to tease him about using him for a starving kid’s commercial. Somehow he got all the skinny genes that the rest of us missed — and he munches all the time.
Believe it or not, he started life as a 12 lb. baby. It was kind of funny — he was born in a women’s hospital where the only babies were newborns, and they didn’t have any diapers that would fit him. Someone had to go out and buy some. We’re not sure where the weight then came from — I didn’t have gestational diabetes that pregnancy and my weight gain was the most moderate of the three, and the quickest to get back to normal afterwards. He didn’t look fat when he was born — just bigger than you average newborn.

  2. The ones that stay so skinny are the ones who eat ALL the time! If only I had that kind of metabolism,… lol. Thank you for stopping by my blog, and have a great weekend.

  5. Hi Barbara, I see your son beaming straight into the camera. 😀 And look at all the pressies surrounding him! I think he looks great and just about most of the Asian guys in this (my) part of the world. My brother weighed about the same when he was born and is now standing at 6′.

  12. Give him time….he’ll be up with us in a while!!! LOL
    My son was this skinny too….but after a certain age…like 35 maybe…gravity takes hold on ALL of us.

    Great idea for the theme this week.

    My skinny photo is published now, would you care to visit with me? I’d love to have you drop by!!

  14. Your son looks great and yes very thin, but not unhealthy. My mom had big babies too but we were all skinny when young. After middle age is another story for me and some of my siblings, ha.

  16. What a great picture of your son. I guess he just has a great metabolism 🙂 Wow – 12lbs at birth – that is very big.

    Thank you for sharing – have a blessed weekend.

  17. Oh my, a 12 lb baby. He was indeed a big baby. My son was 6.6 lbs when he was born.

    He must have a fast metabolism. Something I wish I had.

  23. Great photo, that is sure skinny….feed that boy, ha! I tease because I have a skinny one also…

  24. 12 lbs at birth! Yikes! What a handsome young man, too. Very interesting photo and post, Barbara. Thanks so much for stoping by the creek, and I hope you are having a perfectly delightful weekend. Blessings!

  25. …do tell…forget about the weight hyperbole…the music is a perfect touch…now try to get him into track and field…sweet…

  27. Great photo. Boy did he really make out with a lot of gifts huh?!? Remind me and I’ll tell you when it’s my birthday! hee hee Great photo. He’s a handsome son, you should be proud.
