A petite mother from Minnesota has become a TikTok sensation with her endearing videos showcasing her adorable “chunky” twin babies. Alexis LaRue, a 22-year-old mom, welcomed her identical twin daughters, Camila and Elena, into the world in March. Despite starting off at a modest 6 lbs. 7 oz. each, these twins have experienced an astonishing growth spurt and now, at just seven months old, tip the scales at a hefty 21 lbs. each.
Alexis, standing at a mere 5’3″ and weighing 116.4 lbs., possesses a petite stature that adds an element of humor to her viral TikTok videos. The real showstopper is when she attempts to carry both of her hefty babies simultaneously. The contrast between her small frame and the sizable weight of the twins creates a comical yet heartwarming sight for viewers.
The inspiration for these entertaining videos struck Alexis when she stumbled upon a viral clip featuring another mother effortlessly managing the juggling act of holding both twins with one arm while effortlessly completing various tasks. Intrigued by this supermom, Alexis decided to try her hand at the same feat. However, it quickly became apparent that handling her growing babies was no easy task for her.
While Alexis’s fiancé, Leo Mejia, towers at 5’11” and is taller than her, the petite mom didn’t anticipate her babies growing to such substantial sizes. The combination of Alexis’ diminutive stature and the twins’ impressive weight gain has turned her attempts at twin-carrying into a charming and relatable series of TikTok moments.
As Alexis navigates the challenges of motherhood with her chunky twins, her lighthearted videos continue to capture the hearts of TikTok users, showcasing the joy, humor, and occasional struggle that comes with raising two rapidly growing infants. The adventures of this petite mom from Minnesota and her hefty twin bundles of joy serve as a delightful reminder of the unpredictable and heartwarming journey that is parenthood.
