Eating more...

I've upped the amount of food little man eats during the day. He is always shoving those little paws and anything he happens to have in them into his mouth. And while I know this is not always hunger, as it is also exploring the world and new tooth developments, I noticed that he looks for Cheerios on the floor! So, after hearing another mom at be group say how much her daughter was eating, I put two and two together and thought about upping the amount. Turns out I was right! Little man has taken wonderfully to having more food at each meal. His breakfast is now a big bowl of oatmeal with a fruit blend mixed in and Cheerios. Lunch which we are still figuring out due to changing nap times, is usually an entire banana, some puffs and cheese. Sometimes I'll give him part of a veggie container. And then dinner is now almost a whole yogurt with veggie purée mixed in. Cheesy puffs. Cheese. And whatever we r having for dinner within reason. So for example, last night we had baked ziti with turkey meatballs. Little man had yogurt, shredded mozzarella cheese, and some turkey meatball. Which he gobbled up! I was really surprised because normally he doesn't do well with new food. But he was a fan! Score!!  Anywho, we went to bf group on Thursday and got weighed. Little man was 19lbs 3oz! So almost a whole pound in two weeks! This whole eating more thing is really paying off!!
