Food, again

Luke has been going through a growth spurt of some kind, because he's eating constantly. I buy jars and jars of food, and cans and cans of formula, and we're feeding him table food, too. It's constant, the feeding.

When he's hungry and excited about eating, he opens his mouth wide and his hands and feet twirl in anticipation of the food on the spooon. Even when he's not so excited about eating, and I just want to get the last couple spoonfuls in, he obligingly opens his mouth for more food.

I know he needs food right now to grow, he seems to be getting longer and leaner by the hour, and I can't keep up. Can his stomach hold enough food to maintain his baby chubbiness? As active as he is, too, with creeping and dragging and climbing and standing, we've got a lot of energy to keep up with.

He woke at 2 AM Saturday morning, took 6 ounces of a bottle and went right back to sleep. Hungry, rumbly tummy needed filling! When he wakes up hungry (which is maybe once a week now) he wakes up HUNGRY! And my little boy will get the food he needs to grow!
