“Chicken Little”
A long time ago, I blogged about how Evan hadn’t earned a nickname yet. That has changed. She’s now more than 10 months old, yet weighs 14 pounds and comfortably wears 3-6 month clothing. As with most preemies, she’s tiny for her age. She gets around fine. She crawls, pulls up, walks alongside furniture… she’s just “tiny bitty” as Brady would say. She’s just plain little.
Now, see her hair? Now you know why we call her Chicken Little.
See the resemblance?
(It’s kind of hard to see, but her hair is standing on end. Plus, the flash really surprised her.) So, maybe it’s difficult to see, but trust me… The name suits her.

Christa,
Hi! I’m a friend of Drew Thompson’s and found your blog from his. I just wanted to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed reading your blog. Your children are wonderful and your little girl is precious. The name Chicken Little suits her just like it does my son. He was born over four years ago, and was 11 weeks early and only weighed 1 lb. 15 oz. He is still skinny for his age, but perfectly healthy…we are truly blessed. He wears glasses now and loves baseball. So everytime he picks up his big whiffle bat he totally reminds us of Chicken Little!! We now have an 11 mon. old girl whose hair is just like Evan’s, it will not go down! Good luck with naming Baby F and with the rest of your pregnancy. Happy Holidays!!
