Evie has never been much of an eater.  Starting her on solids was a major challenge.  We used to try to get her to eat all of these different foods but she hated everything so much and she could only manage about 9 oz. a day.  She detested all kinds of food, even delicious foods like applesauce.  What kind of kid dislikes applesauce?

She has always eaten better at daycare, so much better in fact that I have sometimes suspected that they are lying to us about it.  How could she miraculously eat twice as much, especially when we started intentionally sending the worst food that she hated and she still ate it.

Starting about tuesday of this week, someone flipped the switch.  Suddenly, we can’t come up with enough food.  Today she ate about 19 oz.!  And even still she was signing “more” all day (which she does to tell us she is hungry)  I don’t know if it is a sudden grown spurt, finally a carryover from her daycare eating, the fact that she cut her 3rd tooth and that is the magic number for chewing, or my awesome skills at making up food eating songs.  For example, at lunch today:

Daddy give me yummy ham, fa la la la laa, la la la laa
Eat-a-roonie yes I am, fa la la la laa, la la la laa
Donnez-moi a hammy spoonful, fa la la, fa la la, la la la
Nevermind I guess I’m too full, fa la la la laa, la la la laa

Eh, maybe that’s not the reason.  Anyway, whatever the reason, we are not complaining!
