the boy who could eat...

My little friend Harrison is a BIG eater. In this picture he is demolishing a cupcake, but this morning I was getting the kids breakfast and Harrison just kept eating and eating and EATING!

I am in the getting rid of the bottle stage, and I have to say it has proved to be a little trickier than I remember with Gwen. Maybe it is because he eats so much more than she ever has. Today for breakfast he polished off:

almost 2 full pieces of toast (minus the crust)
4 oz. of strawberry yogurt
8 oz. of whole milk
and a cup of cold cereal

That is more than Gwen and I eat combined!!! Yikes I am going to have to get creative to be able to fill him up for meals. At this rate he is going to double the size of those chubby thighs in no time, and he will have earned them by then too. He has never been a little baby in any way so I guess I shouldn't expect any less.

I love seeing that sweet face! All my boys ate like that too. I guess they were just fueling their growing so fast.

I wish my kids ate like that, I think that's great that he eats so well. And really maybe you and Gwen need to start eating more.

Syl was telling me that Harrison out weighs Evinn by alot and Evinn isn't exactly little. He really is a beautiful boy. It seems that he keeps you on your toes. That combined with the little food that you eat and pretty soon there will be nothing left of you to go around! :)

Way to go Harrison! I wish my kids ate better. I can't find a single pair of jeans that fit Eric around the waste. Even with adjustable waistbands the pants are still too big.

looks like you have a growing boy on your hands! if we order pizza, I have to get a large for just Tyson and Avery. Tyson eats 5 pieces and avery eats 2. Insane! I love when my kids eat a lot though. Makes a mom happy when her kids are eating well!!

I think Harry is just trying to take a tip from Mr. Olympian Michael Phelps...You might want to consider enrolling him now in some sort of event. :) You know I am glad to hear somewhere in the world there are kids that eat. As you can see mine go to town with candy, but anything nutritional not so much. I am just waiting for the day Harrison outgrows all of these funny girls! They will be sorry they hadn't spent their whole life bulking up, he's going to take them all down!!!
