It's been a struggle these last weeks, probably month to get Cody to eat anything besides snacks. His appetite used to be pretty good and even though i knew his weight was on the lower side I knew he was still eating and drinking a good amount of milk, so I didn't worry too much. Well his appetite has decreased tremendously, he doesn't eat meat, avocados, or bananas anymore and even if he eats something one day it doesn't mean he'll eat it again the next! His snacks consist of fruit (grapes and berries), cheese, goldfish, ritz crackers, cereal (cherrios or cinnamon toast crunch), and every now and then uncrustables. It was first his skin that was causing all these problems and stress in our life and now that we have that under control, its his eating habits. Everyone keeps saying its a phase and when he's hungry he WILL eat but it still drives me nuts! Not only did his eating habits go down but since I've switched him to a cup he no longer drinks the same ounces of milk he used to either. I'll be lucky if I get him to drink at least 6 ounces for the whole day. I'm hoping he will start to get used to his milk in a cup or we'll be in big trouble!
Quick update: We've been taking advantage of the weather and going to Dland and playing outside still! Cody threw up all day yesterday and diarreah all day today. I'm hoping it's just some kind of stomach virus and will pass soon enough. He was miserable yesterday, he thew up 8 times, changed him into 8 diff outfits, stained the carpet orange and ruined 2 suede couch cushions. Besides the whole being sick part it didn't hurt that he only wanted ME! Thats prob one of the best feelings in the world; knowing you child needs/wants only your comfort when feeling under the weather. Also it was nice to have cody laying around all day rather then destroying the whole house!
**I can't remember this exact day but for some odd reason cody wanted a banana or "nana" in his words and usually when he says it or points at it he doesn't really want to eat it but this night he ate the whole thing .. and fed it to himself! And what's funny is he hasn't eaten a banana like this since!
