There are height and weight charts that most pediatricians follow. If a kid is in the 75th percentile for weight, it's not such a big deal if they are also tall for their age. Now if your kid is in the 75th percentile for weight and 5% for height, that's a bit different.
I actually think Sadie is a cute kid. I'm sure she'll have a wicked sense of humor growing up in that house.
Oh christ. That's not a fat baby. Babies are supposed to have a higher percentage of bodyfat (relative to total body mass) at this age. They actually need it for organ development. Unless we're talking a 0-36 month old in the 5th percentile for height combined with 95th (or higher) percentile for weight, you should actually worry more if your baby/toddler is underweight.
Many normal weight for height kids don't "thin out" until they're close to school age.
