Growth Peak?

I wonder if Mimi is going through a growth peak. She goes to her gymnastic practice every morning at 8:30am till 12:30pm. I packed her lunch, snack and a bottle of frozen water. Recently, she has been asking for more and more food and she seems hungry all the time.

For example, here is the list of what I packed her yesterday:

— Peach
— A bag of snack from China Airline with pretzel and nuts (from HS)
— A nutrition bar
— Plum
— Chickend Pasta (for lunch)
— A bottle water

She came home VERY hungry so she ate a cheeze quesadilla on our way home (from Taco Bell). When I was making dinner, she also ate some yogurt and fruit. She had a great dinner (one full bowl of rice with vege and meat). At the end, she had 2/3 plates of water melon. I am very impressed with her appetite and hope this will continue to give her all she needs to grow.

In addition to that, she goes to bed fairly early recently. In the past, she doesn’t go to sleep until past 9:30pm. Recently, she is sound asleep before 8:30pm. Daddy has to adjust his schedule to call us before 8pm to be able to talk to Mimi. Sometimes, even that, he missed her because she already fell asleep.

This weekend, I am going to make dumpling with 5 vegetables (shredded carrot, cabbage, green onion, shredded cucumber, and green vege). She has been asking for dumplings for lunch.

Keep growing, my girl. Mommy will do her best to get something interesting on the dinner table!!
