I was just having an e-mail discussion with my Mom which reminded me of a post I wanted to make. Why did no one mention that 19 month olds can eat more then everyone else in the house combined? Seriously the boy is packing away the food, I am really hoping it is a growth spurt because he is eating a ton.

For instance this morning till he took his nap at 11am he had:

2 bowls of pasta with cheese
a small red wax cheese
a bowl of blueberries
a bowl of pineapple
a granola bar
a bowl of raspberries
a tortilla shell
milk
2 small pieces of peppermint bark
a scoop of peppermint ice cream

Now the dog gets some of this, but not as much as one would expect and that is just this morning, the past two mornings he’s eaten more then this list. My mornings consist of him taking me to the fridge every 20 minutes or so to get him something else to eat. To be fair he does slow down some in the afternoon, but he still eats a fair amount then as well.

I am really hoping for another growth spurt even though he just had one a month ago or so, because he is raising our grocery bills all by himself.

So we arrived in India around 4pm Indian time the day after we left the US (was around 7/8am our time). We got there and took a Taxi to Dan’s Aunt and Uncle’s house in New Delhi. Unfortunately no seatbelts so no car seat, and I really was not happy the whole trip with Desmond not in a car seat, it was very scary. Anyways Desmond was exhausted and stood and sat with his Dada (Grandpa) most of the trip to the house. He did sleep some, but not a lot since there was so much to do and see.

Once we got to the house, we had dinner and visited with various relatives. Desmond went down around 9pm or so Indian time and Dan and I followed shortly after, which was a good thing. Around 2:30am Desmond woke up for the day starving and ready to go. We tried to get him back down but it wasn’t happening, so we fed him and gave him the iPod so he could watch My Friends Tigger and Pooh while we attempted to at least half sleep for a bit. It made for a very tired Sarah and Dan the next day. Here is Desmond enjoying his early morning wake up.

Oh and thank you Mom for the little fake mp3 player you got him for the trip, he didn’t really use the player much but those headphones were wonderful since they were just the right size for him and worked with the iPods.

Okay so anyone who didn’t see me buying the baby new clothes as soon as I knew gender raise your hand. Anyone? That’s what I thought. So we went out after dinner last night and picked up 2 new outfits for the baby. Amusingly enough neither of them is pink. Here are the baby’s new outfits. I really like both of them especially the Winnie the Pooh one.

I really like the blue fairy princess one too, it is cute.

And her Winnie the Pooh Dress!
