More!

My little guy is hungry ALL THE TIME!  I do not remember Hannah being like this.  I do remember her drinking her weight in milk.  That must be the difference.  Jacob drags me to the pantry/fridge 800 times a day to get "more."  I constantly run out of ideas of things for him to eat.  One day when we were desperate for groceries, I ended up making him a big bowl of chocolate pudding late in the morning (yes, I was desperate!), and that seemed to satisfy him for a little bit... This kid likes to eat!  You'd think he'd be off the charts.... but nope, he's still my scrawny little guy...  Advice is welcome!

What you have written sounds exactly like Quinn! He will eat and eat all day long. Plus, it is not just small snacks, it is things like a whole banana, a piece of string cheese, or six or seven strawberries! Just today, Quinn ate an entire beef n' cheddar sandwich at arby's... bun and all! A man sized appetite!

I feel that if Quinn is active and does better (meaning less cranky) with food, I will continue to give him snacks. Plus, even with all the food, QT is still only about 24 pounds, very average for this age.
