This picture from Barnaul in Siberia by Andrey Kaspishin was mentioned in the last blog but warrants a second look if only for its curiosity value.
In it we see two babies; the one on the left an enormous howling child which the caption tells us is called Nadia, born to mother of 12, Tatyana Barabanova at the astonishing weight of 7.75 kilos (17.1lbs). The one on the right, is a much smaller infant apparently staring intently at its neighbour.
Of course it is highly improbable that a newborn would be focusing on very much at all, although I suppose its attention may have been drawn by the sheer volume of sound emanating from the robust Nadia, but it is hard to escape the impression that the poor kid is not unreasonably alarmed by the proximity of something that big and hungry.

- Posted by fotowarung.bazuki.com » Blog Archive » You big babyThis is the biggest baby I’ve ever seen in my life! I can’t imagine how that must of felt. I just hope the baby dosen’t stay huge like that for long because that can’t be healthy. I think its funny, however, that the average sized baby turns to stair like “what the heck is that”…. lol
