A healthy breakfast

Before becoming a mother to a little boy, I naively thought that little people meant little meals. How much can a 1 year old eat anyway, right? Turns out they can put away quite a bit. I think David eats just as much as me now. And I'm eating for 2! This is a little example of what he will eat for breakfast. Mind you this is only 1 meal of the day. He'll do 2 more like this and probably 1-2 much smaller snacks.


















This is: 5 mini (2") pancakes, 1 scrambled egg and about half a peach. He washed it all down with about 6oz of milk. He ate every bite. Wow. For a little person - a baby - this seems like a lot to me, but he really likes his food. Is this normal?? It seems that all his little friends eat less than this. Maybe not. But is seems like it.

I think I feel a growth spurt coming on! You can't put away food like this and not gain a little.
