Eating Machine!

Our little man is a eating machine!  We have been off babyfood for over a month now and O is eating all adult food.  Well, I do cook him specail foods so they are softer and not as spiced.  But for the most part he eats what we eat and more!  He loves everything, there isn't one thing that we haven't given him that he hasn't liked.  He loves fish, chicken, pasta, veggies, sweet potato pancakes, waffles, potato, meatballs, fruit, yogurt, cheese and more!  These are just a few of his favorites but he will pretty much eat anything.

We take a trip to Whole Foods every Sunday to get O some yummy foods for the week and man is he expensive!  Well partly because we buy all natural and organic food for him but still, if he's eating this much now, how much is he going to cost us when he's bigger...ha!  We love that he's eating so much and a healthy boy.  This his new favorite food...A+ Cinnamon All Natural Whole Grain Sweet Potato Pancakes.  He practically cheers and claps when he sees them...ha!



We have cut out one bottle so he's down to 4 bottles a day and are decreasing the amount of milk in each bottle now because he is eating a lot more solid foods.  He's still getting 24+ ounces a day which Dr. Chris says is perfect for his age.  Also by next month he will probably drop one more bottle and be down to 16-18ozs a day. 

Owen is doing great with a sippy cup and has water with each meal.  He has his favorite brand now, thank goodness!  It took a while to find "the one" but he seems to love the sport Nuby's.  We are going to work to switch his lunchtime bottle to a sippy cup in the next few weeks.  But one change at a time and as soon as we see that he's taking in enough from the sippy, then we'll switch it. This weekend I filed his sippy with 5ozs of water at snack time and he drank 3ozs and wasn't too wet so hopefully he's taking some of that in :)  He totes his sippy every where...such a big boy!

I still can't believe our boy will be one in less than 2 months and off bottles all together!  Time sure does fly and we love every minute with our little guy!
