So the doctor said it was time to take Liana off of formula and give her regular milk. Susana said that a month ago, but I waited for a doctor to tell me.

The transition yesterday seemed uneventful. I warmed the milk a bit, put in a little rice cereal, just like I did with her formula, and honestly, she didn’t seem to know the difference. Those of you who remember a few months ago when we had the oat cereal faux pax with the formula, understand why I was concerned.

The only change I’ve seen, however, is a MAJOR increase in appetite. Now Liana has odd habits. Everyone tells me to get her into routines, but she really fights routines. Some days she eats a lot. Other days, not so much. Today, however, she ate and ate and ate and ate….

7:30 AM – raisins and cheerios while mom is in the shower – sippy cup full of water too

8:00 AM – left over macaroni and cheese, followed by cantaloupe and blueberries. And some crackers. And apple juice in a sippy cup.

11:30 AM – Lunch at a nice Colombian restaurant. Mom had the soup and salad special, which came with rice and fried plantain and arepa (Colombian corn cake.) Liana at about 1/3 of a plantain. About 4-5 heaping tablespoons of rice. Some carrots from mommy’s soup. Some beets from mommy’s salad. Some yummy but unidentified root veggies from mommy’s soup. About 1/3 of a small arepa. Oh. And then lots of soup broth. Which my friend was feeding her, but she decided to throw rice onto each spoonful. Orange juice in a sippy cup.

1:00 milk instead of formula. Followed by urgent urgent urgent demands for raisins. She’s hungry again???
