"our baby is 3 months old and yes, her doctor said it was okay for her to come to disneyland"

that was our typical response to the questions, stares, evil looks, etc. that we received walking around Disneyland with Avery. I was amazed at all the judgmental looks and comments we received when people saw us with our little peanut. Here is how a typical conversation would go:

Stranger: Oh my goodness, she is so tiny! I would never bring my tiny child to Disneyland.
Parents: Yes, yes she is. But actually, she is 3 months old (she was born very early - long story) and her doctor said it was okay.
Stranger: (Evil stare)
Parents: Have a nice day!

Okay, so on occasion, we would speak to some nice people who thought Avery was tiny and adorable (proud parents beaming) and we received some pleasant looks and stares as well. But, honestly, I cannot tell you how many looks we received from people who thought we were the worst parents in the world. We wanted to make a tshirt and wear it around that said - "Yes, she is tiny. But she is 3 months old and her doctor said it was okay!"

No way! I can't believe that many people were obviously staring and giving you guys terrible looks. The t-shirt explanation idea would have been hilarious, though she's so tiny you might have had to use both sides of the shirt to get it all on there! :)
