Wide Load

I keep allowing him to have that extra bottle at night because I think he's about to go through a growth spurt. He's really really hungry... If he falls asleep with out that extra bottle he'll promtly wake up 3 hours later screaming for the bottle.

I've been using this growht spurt excuse for a month now and he's just getting wider... and wider.... and wider..... When he was around five months he got HUGE before he got taller and leaner and that was his last growth spurt so I know it's coming but I confess I'm getting nervous.

I'm having visions of little buddha not that he's that far off.

The formula that he still drinks 24 to 30 ounces a day of is very filling. When he turns to regular milk he should be able to quench his thirst with out adding another meals worth of calories onto his waste line. Tony and I are pushing his sippy cup of water at him more and more now. and as soon as he gets more then two teeth he'll be able to eat more substantial meals.

for now we wait for that growth spurt.
