Mom of ‘Giant’ Baby Defends Him from Hurtful Mocking — He’s 6 Now Called ‘King’

• A mom defended her baby boy, Gavin, after haters started mocking him because of his size.
• Gavin, the “giant baby,” became a sensation and was the target of hateful comments, yet he is just a happy kid in real life.
• Gavin is now six, and he is called “King” in his recent videos.

Gavin was born a fairly average-sized baby. He was 6 pounds, 15 ounces, and 19 inches long. The boy has grown pretty fast and a lot since he was a baby.

Due to his rapid growth, the boy has received hateful comments from online users who felt like he wasn’t a normal baby

According to his mother, Kat, Gavin’s growth was always off the charts whenever they went for regular doctor’s check-ups. “He’s been off the charts since after birth,” his mom added.

Regardless of his quick growth, Gavin was a normal, healthy, and very happy boy. He enjoyed Halloween and loved birthdays and M&M candy.

He enjoyed spending his days playing with Kat, 5’8, his father Galen, 5’10, and Caleb, his 19 years old brother. Gavin and his family live in America’s Midwest on their farm, where they work and study together.

Gavin became an internet sensation when his mother introduced him on TikTok. Caleb first showed his mother how TikTok worked, and she spent the whole day going through the videos shared on the platform.

After getting the gist of TikTok, Kat decided to share Gavin with the world. “I woke up on Sunday, and I said to my husband, I’m going to make him famous, and it happened,” she revealed.

Kat began sharing videos of Gavin on her TikTok account, @kat.027, doing the normal things toddlers do, like playing in the mud. Her videos got a bit of attention on the day she posted them, but the next morning the videos blew up.

Kat noted that Caleb woke her up to tell her the videos had gotten millions of views. Some of her videos of Gavin have now been viewed 9 and 18.5 million times.

Some people were excited and happy to see Gavin, but haters shared negative comments and criticized Gavin for his look.

Ever since Kat posted videos of her son, she has seen comments of people praising him and others mocking Gavin. Some parents have even questioned her parenting skills as they speculated about what could have resulted in Gavin’s size.

Kat said some comments she saw were good, others bad, and some even funny. Gavin’s mother was hurt by some of the mean comments, which she found harsh. However, she said, “he is what he is.” She added:

“At first it did a little, but we have thick skin, it’s not big deal to us. People can be mean online, they’re behind a mask.”

In a TikTok video where Gavin had fun on his father’s back, haters and lots of negative things to say. In this video, the boy’s father lay in bed on his stomach while Gavin, who sat on his back, was jumping up and down.

One person simply commented on the video, “God have mercy,” alongside the shocked emoji, while another individual said, “That thing is not a baby.” Another online user said the bay looked like a giant from the “Clash of Clans,” a mobile game.

One positive comment said that Gavin was “so stinking adorable.” However, more negative comments flowed in, as one user commented, “Look at the size of that thing…there is no way that that is scientifically a baby.”

Some users reposted the TikTok videos of Gavin to other social media accounts with vile captions. One person shared a video of Gavin on Twitter and tweeted, “Is anyone else just absolutely REPULSED by this giant baby.”

This video shared on Twitter was liked by hundreds of thousands of people and was retweeted more than 35,000 times.

Despite the negative comments, Kat is happy that she shared the videos of her baby online. She noted that as much as in 20 years Gavin may “hate” her for sharing them, she was glad she did as it helped people get through the tough Covid-19 times.

Gavin’s mother also explained that his son got his body size from both sides of the family, as she and her husband have tall relatives. Kat said they have “big genetics in the family.” She said Gavin’s uncle was 6’7, while her two brothers were 6’1 and 6’2. Kat added:

“People can be cruel. There’s no need to have this distasteful bitterness that a lot of people have… I didn’t let it bother me. I was kind of like, that’s mean because it’s a baby.”

Online users also claimed Gavin was bald or that his parents had shaved his head clean. However, Kat revealed that Gavin actually has hair, but it’s light reddish-blonde hair that is hard to see in the posted videos.

People believe Gavin will become a basketball player, but his parents think he will become a footballer.
