I’ve totally been guilty of googling ‘how many calories does a 14 month old need?’<\/p>\n

\"meals<\/p>\n

Some days I just feel like she is so hit or miss with meals and I have that common mom worry- is she getting enough? I’m not about to start calorie counting for Kaitlyn just yet, but to take a closer look at what and how much she is eating, I decided to document an entire day for this month’s Munchkin Meals<\/a><\/strong> (first Thursday of each month!). It’s not the most glamorous day of food, but here’s how it went…<\/p>\n

\"giggle<\/a>I try to make a smoothie for her once a day. I fill it with frozen banana, whole milk, almond\/peanut butter, a date and some sort of vegetable. Sometimes it’s raw spinach and sometimes I use these frozen purees (Giggle Bites). The spinach and zucchini blends in really well!<\/p>\n

\"how<\/a>Sometimes I’ll add a little protein if she is sharing it with Hailey, but otherwise I just stick to the basics. She’ll usually drink a full sippy cup’s worth, or close to it.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/a>We don’t always do morning snacks, because we usualy do early lunch, but if one happens to pop up, I’ll offer it to her. This sweet nectarine was a hit.<\/p>\n

Lunch was picnic style at a local park.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/a>She ate about 4 crackers with hummus, 4 slices of mango and about 1\/3 of the yogurt pouch.<\/p>\n

In the afternoon she ate the rest of her yogurt pouch, a graham cracker and a few raisins. Then came dinner.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/a>I almost held off, wanting to show a more cohesive meal, but the truth is a lot of the girls’ meals are pretty piecemeal. Black olives, roasted sweet potatoes in olive oil with a sprinkle of salt, deviled eggs and red pepper strips.<\/p>\n

No surprise what she went for first.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/a>Girl loves poking her fingers in the black olives and gobbling them up.<\/p>\n

And the finish… tada!!<\/p>\n

\"how<\/a>Just kidding. This is a bit misleading, as she swiped some of her food right off the tray, to Koda’s delight.<\/p>\n

She ended up eating all the olives, most of the egg, half the sweet potatoes and 1 out of the 3 pepper strips.<\/p>\n

She doesn’t drink milk, though I keep offering, but sips on water all day long. She still nurses once in the morning and once in the evening before bed.<\/p>\n

What have your kids been eating recently? <\/strong><\/p>\n
