This was probably already discussed but I have to bring it up: isn't Rachel a bit huge for an approximately 1 year old here? The biological mother had eclampsia, which if I remember correctly, Cuddy said you could get up to a month after giving birth, which means Rachel was at most a month old when Cuddy found her. My niece will 1 year old in a few weeks and she's a huge kid (10 lbs at birth). She isn't nearly as big as Rachel is here though.

It boggled my mind for a while as well, but then I was thinking, my own niece was born to a pre-eclamptic mom, she was born a month early, by the time she turned 1 she was about as huge as Rachel up here because of the thyroid hormone replacements they had to give her and special types of formula that makes babies blow up real fast. they never discussed Rachel having any health issues but maybe eventually that would come up?

Looks like a 1-year-old to me. Comparing that to pics of my daughter at 1, I'd say it's pretty accurate. She doesn't look all that big, to me.

It's probably the hair that's throwing you - many 1-year-olds don't have hair quite that long, although my daughter's hair was finally long enough to put into little tiny spiky ponytails at that age, so.

Also - I could be wrong, but I think that's actually the same baby they've been using all along.

I just adore their matchy-matchy plaid coats, though. :-)

As a mother of three I think this could well be a 1-year-old but my babies were all three breast fed.
BUT, if we are going to discuss in what ways [H]ouse deviates from reality, I've got a HUGE list. :-)

Lovely to be able to return to old episodes with a fresh perspective on Huddy. Nice cap too!
