Mayah is going through some kind of massive growth spurt - tonight at dinner she at an entire chicken leg AND an entire chicken thigh, plus peas, PLUS a whole (BIG!) garlic breadstick. She also ate oatmeal pancakes with fruit preserves for breakfast (the fact that she ate breakfast at all is significant) and mashed potatoes and mixed veggies and a scoop of tuna AND an entire package of freeze dried strawberries for lunch!! This is on top of nursing multiple times, including one solid hour stretch (as in, did not unlatch once) during her nap. She was begging for more food right up until bedtime, at which point I finally cut her off from further chicken and bread because I was starting to have horrible visions of a baby with a massive stomachache being up all. night. long. I mean, where does it all go?? She also drank two full straw cups of water today - so like 18 oz. total - which she NEVER does (because I guess nursing usually quenches her thirst?) This is crazy! I kind of hope it keeps up though, much less wasted food haha.
