operation fatty

One week from now, I hope to tell you that Travis is 5lbs heavier.  He weighs 27lbs, after a glass of milk.  He's a twig and if he's going to get any taller, he needs some extra fat to fuel the growth.  I was hoping that I could pass on the super tall genes that run in my family (my two boy cousins are both over 6' 5", and I'm the only girl who is under 5' 8") but even if T isn't going to be tall, he still needs the extra fat.  He goes non stop all day and that requires a lot of energy expenditure.  So we are fattening up the boy, or trying our very best to!  He's getting carnation instant breakfast in two glasses of whole milk a day.  That comes out to a whopping 280 calories of chocolate goodness in each glass.  So here's to a chunky toddler in a few months...we hope!
(and hopefully a pair of unchunky parents to go with it!  I just ate 6 mr. goodbars- since Sunday.  that's a whopping 1500 calories of candy.  in 3 days. yikes! good thing they are gone!!)
