This Little Piggy

Harper. She is a 13 1/2 pound, thin little lady who CAN NOT STOP EATING. I swear, she spends more than half her day in her high chair. Her favorites are cottage cheese, rice cakes, peaches, yogurt and pretty much anything else that comes her way. I will place 10 cheese crackers on her tray and turn to get her a drink and then they are gone. So I give her more, and more. She can eat a cup of whole milk yogurt in about 3 minutes and is panting for more. Nilla wafers, they don't stand a chance, a bagel with cream cheese, gone before you can sit down. A week ago I could give her a handful of baby "puffs" to keep her happy for a minute, now she recognizes them for what they are-air. Nobody is satified with air.
So while the rest of the world is trying to lose weight with the new year, Harper is working on adding pounds. She is on the seefood diet. See it, eat it. The only time in a girl's life where adding a layer of fat to your thighs is a desirable goal.
