grrrr why won't he eat???

I mean seriously its not like I'm giving him cod liver oil or something. There are some days where I swear he will only eat yogurt "smoothies", cheese and blueberries -oh and cheddar bunnies.  Yesterday for dinner he ate a smoothie and a handful of raisins (thank you Rssnlvr!) but wouldn't touch the turkey that I'd packed for him. 

Then there are days where I can't get him to stop eating, but we haven't had one of those days in a while. 

I am getting so frusturated and running out of food ideas.  I am going to try turkey and spinach "enchilladas" for dinner tonight (courtesy of Baby Center's) but I've wasted so much good food and money on trying new things.

I know I shouldn't worry about this because he will eat when he is hungry but coming from a family who loves food so much I find it facinating that he is so hot and cold!!

    *big hugs* I'm sorry that must be so frustrating. Hope his appetite comes back soon! Just think in a few years they'll be eating us into the poor house!

    Ha ha I know thanks for putting that in perspective!!!  If he is anything like DH (who of course is thin as a rail even now- but ate like a mad man in his teenage years) I can't even begin to imagine how many gallons of milk we'll go through and how my grocery bill will sky rocket! 

    oh Rssn, how you make me giggle!

    oooh, could he be getting the second molars? my guy isn't not eating, but he's not all about the food right now and he's getting his first molars.

    That could totally be the reason... he has a molar coming in on one side and possibly another coming in as well.  That is why I love the boards!

    I found this when I was trying to figure out why there was a gap btwn the teeth coming in. It has a little diagram and guide to when the pop up and I thought your guy was at the age for some molars!
