Jenna Bush Hager made her feelings clear when she learned some news about her seven-month-old nephew.
On Monday's Today With Jenna and Friends, Jenna appeared on the show with her sister, Barbara Bush, who revealed that her son Edward Finn weighs nearly the same as his three-year-old sister Cora Georgia.
"Well, he's a big guy," Barbara admitted. "He's a very big guy. He's 30 pounds. To put it in context, my three-year-old is 32 pounds. So, he's large and in charge!"
Jenna then chimed in and made it clear that they do "not want to body shame him", with Barbara agreeing: "No. He's perfectly proportionate, and he's here for the ride."
According to the World Health Organization, the average seven-month-old boy weighs just over 18 pounds, with the Mayo Clinic stating that babies typically gain weight quickly in the first six months before their weight steadies as they grow older and become more active.
Jenna shared the arrival of Edward last August, posting a photo of herself holding and feeding the newborn with a bottle.

She captioned the photo: "My sissy had a little mister and I fell madly in love with Edward Finn!"

When Barbara welcomed her first-born child, her grandparents, former President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush, shared the news in a joint statement:

Barbara gave birth to Cora Georgia Coyne on September 27, 2021, in Maine – not far from our family home where Barbara and Craig were married. Cora is healthy and adorable, and we are proud and grateful."
Jenna is close with her twin sister, revealing they "talk a lot and communicate almost every single day via text."
When the duo started writing picture books together, Barbara told The New York Times: "We have a very shared perspective.
"That differs if you had a sibling who was older than you and thought what you were doing was uncool, etc. We were always in the same stage together. And so, a lot of our communication is through that frame of reference."

"We have seen how it's made us both much braver in our careers and in our life paths. Having somebody that wants to lift you up, that thinks you're good enough."
