The Bottomless Pit

We know we're jinxing ourselves when we post something like this, but we'll say it anyway. At the rate she is eating, we will have no food left in a couple of weeks. At some point a day or two ago, Karsie decided that she wanted to eat everything in sight. She has upped her breast milk frequency, has downed all of her rice cereal (and then some) and has increased her frequency there too. She is either making up for being starved for a week, going through a growth spurt, or (and hopefully) she has turned a major corner in her eating. Either way we welcome this appetite with open arms and aren't really sure what to do with it other than keep feeding the beast.

  1. Great job Karsie!!! You had said in an earlier post she may be able to crawl soon...my kids ate more and slept more right before they hit another milestone(sitting up, crawling, walking etc.) maybe she will be crawling really soon!!!

  3. It is amazing how the body knows what it needs for each step in growth. Your friend may be right, maybe Karsie is gearing up for the next passage......crawling :>)
