"Birds"

As a continuation of the words post, Jack has recently (since our trip down south) become totally enamored with birds. We have an Audubon New England wildlife book that he carries around like it's his blankie. (It's pocket sized, I guess for the avid bird watcher, but also for a toddler!) It has lots of pictures of brightly colored birds, and he's a pro at turning to those pages and saying "b-b-bird" over and over. It has other animals too, like fish, snakes, turtles, whales, and bugs, but he is not interested in any of those. He only likes the bird pages! He's so funny sometimes!


Mommy stayed home today with flu-like symptoms, but Jack happily went onto daycare, feeling just fine. To further assure us that he is feeling just fine, he ate (yes, this is true, and no, I am not lying):

• 1 entire packet of cranberry oatmeal + baby cereal
• 1 blueberry waffle
• 1 banana
• 5 blackberries
• 15 blueberries
• 10 raspberries
• 1 whole grilled cheese sandwich
• 1 packet of guacamole (prob 5 oz worth)
• 15 wheat thins to dip in the guac
• 6 grapes
• one baby twizzler (those toddler fruit sticks, I have no idea what they are really called!)
• and he topped it all off with 14 OUNCES of milk and 16 OUNCES of water / juice!!!!

I don't know where this kid's appetite today came from, but wow!! He must be hitting a growth spurt. He is definitely getting some back teeth (maybe those molars that he's months behind on now) because he has been gnawing on everything and everyone (oops) and drooling like he was three months old again.


We are looking forward to Santa's visit this Friday night!
