I tell you, this kid of mine can EAT! I mean I worry sometimes about how much she's eating, and she's eating everything I send to daycare and wanting more! My ped gave me a sample of how much an 8-month old should be eating, and Anna is way above that. I try and tell myself that she's a big girl and therefore needs more food, but sheesh! Here's what she eats right now:

5:30am--Nurse
6:45am--Nurse

Daycare: 2/3 cup oatmeal mixed with 3 oz bm and a jar of applesauce divided into two containers, half jar of a veggie (though today I sent half a jar of another veggie as well since she ate so much yesterday) and three 4 oz bottles of bm.

5:30pm--Nurse
6:30pm--Nurse
7:30pm--1/3 cup oatmeal/rice cereal with half jar of applesauce, and half a jar of veggie.
8:00pm--Nurse

The 8pm nursing knocks her right out and then she sleeps from 8 til 5:30am like clockwork.

But does this seem like a lot of food? She was 17lbs and 28" at her 6 month checkup.

It cracks me up sometimes at how scheduled this kid is when I never ever tried to put her on any sort of schedule. But she's developed her own, and I swear you could set a watch by her sometimes. The most annoying facet of her new schedule is the one where she drops a load in her diaper on the way to daycare every single day! I am sure the people at the daycare think that I never change this child's diaper and save it up for them. But every morning I'm carrying her in under her underarms in an effort to not make the diaper leak all over the cute outfit that I dressed her in (that never lasts through the day) and saying, "She pooed." My child does not have a problem with constipation, that's for sure. My new nickname for her is shitty shitty bang bang.
