Why Shawn needs to get more side jobs

Inara is seriously going to eat us out of house and home. The kid eats non stop. I'm starting to get worried because the other night after dinner her belly was so huge and hard as a rock. How can such a little thing pack away so much? Here's what she had for breakfast today: a handful of Cheerios, a Yo Baby yogurt, 3/4 of a banana, a jar of Gerber oatmeal with pears, and a cup of milk. Then for lunch she had half a container of chicken and carrot raviolis, some more Cheerios, 2 slices of avocado, and she wanted some of my leftover homemade pizza with mushrooms and bell peppers. For snack she ate two cheese and crackers, a couple mini Quaker Quakes (rice cakes) and a handful of Goldfish. Plus, she's had a couple cups of water throughout the day. When she wakes up from her afternoon nap, she'll have another snack and then dinner tonight. I feel like I'm constantly feeding her. Throughout the day, she'll walk up to the pantry and point for food. I don't want to starve the kid, but I'm starting to worry that she's gonna end up "husky" if I don't watch it. Thank goodness her 15 month doc appt is in less than 2 weeks. One good thing is she has no problems with pooping. That's for sure. The girl pretty much craps after every meal like clock work. I know that her first poopy will be around 9am and boy is it a doozy of a poozy. It's funny because I know when she's pooping because she's stops what she's doing, stares at me, and gets a big shit ass grin on her face when she's finished. It kills me! At least we know she should't have any bowel problems in the near future, so that's a blessing. But again, with all the diapers I go through, she's gonna break us.

And why is it that I find her tooting so darn cute? I'm not alone, because Shawn has said the same thing. She always looks at us after farting and smiles as if she's so proud of herself and wants to be congratulated. Some times she even giggles when she does it. It cracks me up! I love Inara so much that I even find her gas adorable. Call me crazy, but parenthood is so weird. I never thought I'd say that about any person passing gas. But my daughter's farts are cute and I'm not afraid to admit it.

You should ask thr Dr about her thyroid. Or ask him to do a blood test to see if it shows anything. Or maybe it is a growth spurt. Watch her weight.
Let us know what happens.
Love ya
