Since our visit with the doctor nearly a week ago, Anna has been experiencing some BIG changes (and so have her parents!). She has cut her milk intake in 1/2, and in doing so has found that she has an appetite bigger than that of her parents!!
On a typical day this past week, Anna has eaten more food by noon than she had in an entire day the weeks before! She literally eats for breakfast what she used to eat for breakfast and lunch combined. This increase in appetite is wonderful, we hope it results in some added weight and muscle.
We are learning quickly what new foods to introduce, and to always have a snack on hand. Anna's favorite word is "EAT!" and now she really means she wants to! She is eating more than one serving of vegetables per day (vs. next to none before) as well as meat/protein every day - in addition to all she was eating before.
We are also learning that with more food comes more diaper changes. Hopefully that part will taper off a bit as her body adjusts! We will get Anna's weight checked in 3 weeks and hopefully we will see a bit of a change!

Sounds like her and papa should get along just fine for the next week.
