I for one am very insulted as well by your post. I have a 23 month old daughter who is in the process of being potty trained. Did you know that most children are not potty trained until between 2-3 years old? You obviously have no children or you would understand that all children develop differently and what you say you did by nine months is highly unlikely. Yes, my daughter walked at nine months. Most don't until closer to 1 year and some after that. Go talk to a pediatrician and you'll see. At this moment my husband's neice's baby is fighting for her life in the hospital. SHE probably has serious neurological problems and at 7 months cannot hold her head up! How dare you make comments like this to a woman who has a healthy child. There is nothing wrong with Emma Kelly. Also on the weight issue, did you realize that over half of the women in this country have issues with their weight and their looks? I do and I know many other women who do. No, it's not something we should focus on, but with society the way it is, it's hard not to. Kelly is trying to work on these issues as am I. You are an arogant ignorant woman. Once you have children, then you can offer advice on someone else's. Kelly is a loving and amazing mom. And really, where did you get your medical degree from? Obviously you have to be a licensed pediatrician to know so much about childhood development!

Kelly, keep doing what you're doing! You're a great mom and woman and someone normal and human. You're the kind of mother other woman can look up to and one day, Emma Kelly will know how incredibly treasured and loved she is by her mom!
