Underweight

On his late 2 and a half well check doctor visit, doc said that Timothy is boarder line under weight and head growth had a big jump.

What I heard? Your child looks like 3rd world hungry starving orphan with a big head.

Runs in the family doc. Here is a pic of my husband, Timothy’s father. 🤷🏾😂

Seriously, Timothy was 6lbs at birth. I was 6 and a half or so. Yep, Tiny Tim comes from tiny Tamee.

I love to see chubby babies and plump toddlers so the sight of his collar bone bothered me. Doc B chuckled when I asked if Timothy was underweight.  He is fine!  Doc said adding that he sees enough obese infants and toddlers — we live in Texas!

At home, I prepare breakfast, offer snack then lunch,  more snacks and then supper or dinner. I still give him veggie and fruit pureed pouches. Fresh Fruits are included with packaged so called healthy snacks. Dinner has sadly been reduced to milk and cereal on too many evenings. Daddy Deon goes by the don’t feed him unless he says that he is hungry rule — and then offers him juice, cookies or milk and cereal. He shows less concern for a healthy balanced nutricious diet exept to say drink more water. He buys more chips than apples and complains about groceries but that’s for another blog or my memoir…

I am mother and I am at home. I will cook and offer more full meals all day long and add pediasure to plump up Timothy! Wish I could just transfer my fat to my baby but it’s time to starve myself and over feed Timothy as Deon will see it.

Health is wealth. Timothy is a very high energy active boy– I’m not worried about opening up his fat cells.

What do you do to keep your toddler healthy? Who is the more health food conscious parent in your home?
