What do I feed him?

So the question has been raised...what do I feed JMS? (since he is growing like a weed) Well, for breakfast it is usually 2-4 cups of milk...he likes to drink the stuff. Then apple slices / orange slices and maybe a waffle. On occasion he'll eat a bowl of cereal with milk for us.

For lunch...he's eaten grilled cheese, pizza, chicken nuggets, hamburgers, hot dogs, spaghetti, (never all at once) but usually it is fruit and only fruit with a cup of milk.

For dinner...again...he usually will eat his fruit...and his cup of milk....but everything else I listed above is bonus if we get him to eat it.

Snacks...maybe goldfish crackers, fruit strips, and graham cracker cookies. Again...if he slows down enough from playing to think about eating.

Never mention "juice" because he'll want 8 cups of "juice" and he'll never slow down. We made that mistake yesterday with Tang. He wanted to help in the kitchen, so I let him make the Tang...the rest of the day was like having a monkey in the house.

No wonder he's so big with all that milk he drinks! Good for him. Corey loved milk at that age but after we took away her bottle she wouldn't drink it anymore. He sounds like he's a good eater. My kids were (and still are) very picky eaters...Corey wouldn't eat pizza until she was 10 years old!
