Baby vs. Food

You've probably seen all those shows on cable about men going to different places around the country and the world, eating large amounts of artery clogging food or disgusting delicacies.  Well, if Bennett had his own reality show, it would have to be called "Baby vs. Food."  He's never been all that thrilled about eating and, although he's turned into a pretty good little eater, we're still waiting with baited breath for him to finally break 20 pounds.  That's right, folks, we're still rocking the infant carrier, facing backwards!  At his 18 month check up last week, he was still under 20 and below the third percentile.  To make matters worse, last week he decided to go on a hunger strike, turning his nose up at practically everything but "cackers. "  He's doing better this week, thank goodness!  Let's just say that I was one frustrated mama!  Tomorrow we're going to see a nutritionist.  Hopefully, she'll have some brilliant ideas and we can get into that big boy car seat sooner than later!

Here's a video of Uncie Bri, Bri and Auntie Erin doing their part to fatten Benny up!

  1. My boys were the same way. They will be 3 in Sept and they are around 28-30lbs. I just keep food on their table and allow them to "graze" anytime.
