  YES! and so far it hasn't stopped. Abby will eat 1 and 1/2 pb&j sandwiches for breakfast and still want an orange an hour later. She eats non-stop it seems. At 30 lbs and 37 inches, she can slow down any time now!

  Abby............12.27.07

  I hope so because a lot of the 18-24 month fall shirts I have for Ethan are huge on him.  He's barely 23 pounds but 32-33 inches tall. 

  There are days when he eats a ton and then days where he barely eats.  I know people say to look at the week in terms of eating since it tends to balance out.  Oh and he's still getting his eye teeth (over 1.5 months now), so I'm sure that has affected his eating too.

  Thats one of the strange things about it.  He is working on his eye teeth and a molar.  It hasn't slowed down his eating like the rest of his molars did.  I just hope he grows a little because his 18 month pants are still inches too long.
