#2 There are an awful lot of very big boned people in Germany, as I was shocked to discover when we moved there. The babies are much bigger, too, not surprising given the habit of feeding them bits of the wares as Mama make the rounds of the shops (a slice of wurst at the butcher, half a roll at the baker, gummi bears at the dry cleaner, lollipops at the pastry shop, a banana at the green grocer). I wasn't organized enough to do my shopping in the mornings, so the trailing daughters were stuffed by the traditional suppertime. German babies are too large to move until about 18 months, and generally don't approach walking until after 24. American babies are generally thoroughly mobile by a year, walking at 18 months.
