Elsie's favorite thing to eat? Food.

Lately, Elsie has had a one-track mind. The only thing she seems to be concerned with is food. She eats nearly non-stop.

This morning, she ate more breakfast than me or Anne. In total, she ate an entire banana, a toaster waffle coated in butter, a half container of yogurt and about a half-cup of Cheerios. She also drank about 2 oz of whole milk.

That's a lot of calories for a 21-pound baby. On a usual day she has three square meals, two sit-down snacks and another two or three informal snacks (usually a few Ritz crackers or a handful of cereal). And when you don't have her food ready in time ... or if she spots a box of cookies on the kitchen counter? Well let's just say she is quick to clue you in to her objective.


Girl is a monster!
