Growing up fast: Edward Finn’s impressive weight
In a recent episode of “Today With Jenna and Friends,” Barbara Bush shared a heartwarming update about her family, particularly her 7-month-old son, Edward Finn. Co-hosting alongside her twin sister, Jenna Bush Hager, Barbara revealed that Edward is already weighing in at a hefty 30 pounds.
To put this into perspective, her 3-year-old daughter, Cora Georgia, weighs just 32 pounds. This revelation sparked a light-hearted discussion about body positivity and the importance of not body shaming children, as Jenna emphasized, “He’s perfectly proportionate, and he’s here for the ride!”
Understanding baby growth patterns
According to the World Health Organization, the average weight for a 7-month-old boy is around 18 pounds, five ounces. This means Edward is significantly above average, raising questions about growth patterns in infants. The Mayo Clinic notes that babies typically experience rapid weight gain in their first six months, after which their growth rate tends to stabilize as they become more active toddlers.
Barbara’s candidness about her son’s size not only highlights the diversity in infant growth but also serves as a reminder for parents to embrace their children’s unique development journeys.
A glimpse into family life
While Barbara Bush tends to keep a low profile, her recent appearance on the “Today” show offered fans a rare glimpse into her family life.
The segment featured adorable photos of Barbara, her husband Craig Coyne, and their two children, Edward and Cora. The couple, who married in October 2018, welcomed Cora in September 2021, making Edward their second child. Jenna was the first to announce Edward’s arrival on social media, expressing her love for her new nephew with a heartfelt Instagram post.
This family dynamic showcases the close-knit relationships within the Bush family, as they navigate the joys and challenges of parenthood together.
