I love

that Alexa almost always eats like she's starving.

But not just that, the things that she eats make me smile and say things like "wow, i'm impressed!"

For dinner I made grilled chicken, sauteed bell peppers, onions and mushrooms and put all of that over some garlic and olive oil vermicelli.

She ate everything. Really.

I cut about 5 or 6 really small pieces of chicken for her to give her the option. Keith really didn't like chicken at her age (and still doesn't sometimes) but she seems to like meat, even minus any real teeth on the bottom to chew with. I didn't really think she'd eat all the chicken.

She did. And the mushrooms. . .and most of the bell pepper. . .and all her noodles.

Yeah, this girl rocks.
