A growth spurt and American Gladiators


Brayden must be growing. There is NO other earthly explanation for why his food consumption lately has almost tripled.... And I'm not kidding. Just the other morning for breakfast, Brayden had a toasted bagel with peanut butter, 9 slices of bacon (turkey bacon), and an apple. The other day... 7 nuggets, fries, drink... still hungry... followed that up with a grilled cheese and a shake. Tapeworm? I've decided to ramp up the fruits and vegetables during snack times. He gets plenty at his meals but snacks are mainly carbs (i.e. crackers, goldfish, animal crackers, etc). We've also added a nightly snack to hold him over... because he is "starving" about 30 minutes after dinner.

The pics were taken last night during on of Brayden's favorite snacks... apples and caramel. I sliced several apples for the family to share while we watched American Gladiators. Brayden was completely glued to the TV the entire time and LOVED the show.
