A Constructed Life

Get fat already!

You know how they say, “Either you eat to live or you live to eat?” Well, most people I know are the live-to-eat kind, which explains why I’ve been stressing for months over my daughter’s indifference towards food.

She has always, always been underweight, even now, at 13 months, she only weighs 18 lbs. I know 9-month-olds who weigh more than that. But Adeline seemed to view eating as an annoyance, something that took her away from playing and exploring. Her meals would end up in her hair, on the floor…anywhere but in her mouth.

Until now. I think she’s finally starting to get it. Where she used spit everything out that I gave her, now she’ll actually eat most of the things I set in front of her.

After so many months of watching her spit out food, refuse to open her mouth and smear my offerings all over her face, I can’t get enough of watching her happily chow down.

It’s about time, Little Girl. I was starting to wonder how you could possibly be related to me and not constantly have food in your mouth or on your mind. So much deliciousness lies ahead!

    So happy to hear that Addy is liking food! Kieran is liking most of his food as well, although he also likes to pass it on to the dog…who muchly appreciates his generosity!
