More info on toddler nutrition:

Children's Hospital (a lot of info on behavior, but also some food group examples)
iVillage (clear explanation of calories, and also easy to read discussion about behavior)
Dr. Sears (#15 was most useful for me)

I'm undecided about peanut butter versus nutella.  They both have a lot of sugar (nutella more than peanut butter), and peanut butter has more salt than nutella.  Maybe I'll just give it to Kira once in a while.

Another fact I came across that I'm having difficulty coming to terms with is skipping meals.  Several websites say it's normal for toddlers to skip meals and that over the span of a few days, it all balances out.  But, I have a hard time letting Kira skip meals when her doctor is telling me she needs to beef up.

Ugh.  I have to cut this post short.  Kira is dropping banana slices on the floor.

Renee Videos

Where are the videos of Renee??? I have some, but honestly, they are boring. Renee's range of emotions and expressions are not as extreme as Kira's were, and so her videos are not as interesting. I will post an interesting video as soon as we capture one! In the meantime, here's one of Kira =)

Food Diary

By -
I think after a few more days of this, I will only make food diary posts when there is something worth mentioning.  For example, yesterday I made steamed eggs for Kira for the first time and she LOVED it!  I'll definitely be making that more often.  Here is what she ate yesterday and what she's eating this morning: Breakfast:  - french toast (just a few bites)  - strawberries  - 8 oz milk Lunch:  - rice porridge with chicken  - steamed broccoli Lunch was awful!  Kira had a temper tantrum because she wanted to feed herself, but I overheated the jook so it was way too hot for her to handle.  I tried to explain that to her, but she wouldn't listen.  Instead she had a FULL OUT temper tantrum.  It was really awful. Snack:  - apples  - 1 slice of muenster cheese Dinner:  - green beans (she only had a nibble or two)  - steamed egg with roasted chicken  - 1/3 c white rice Breakfast  - 1/2 peach  - mini croissant
