Muffin tops and puke wars

Wondering what in the world the Meyer household could be up to now!?

Me too sometimes :).


Well, don't let the title mislead you too much. Muffin tops!? No, I am not insulting my daughter's awesome figure and rolls she sports like a champ. Rather, one of her many new eating habits. The kids love blueberry muffins. I make the mini ones for them a lot of mornings. You know, the fancy 'just add water' kind!? Well anyhow they think it's awesome when we have them. They will eat as many as I make most mornings. 


Well suddenly Avery has decided only muffin tops will do. Yep, used to be she ate whatever I put in front if her. I would break it up into little pieces and give it it her that way. Then she caught on that her brother was eating whole muffins and squawked til I gave her the same. So we did that.

Suddenly today she needs them with the wrapper still on. Like, wouldn't touch the unwrapped one I have her. So I gave her a wrapped one as a test. And she ate it. Just the top. When I unwrapped the bottom and gave it to her she looked at me like I had lost my mind. In an effort to get out the door without too many meltdowns this morning, I gave her another. And she did the same. And another. And she did the same. Yep, this mom got played. By her one-year-old. But this mom also got out of the house on time this morning without anyone screaming haha. Choose your battles. And waste muffins, I guess.

In other news Avery is keeping us on our toes.....and in the doctors office....once again. As would be expected for the awesome year of 2013, we are in the middle of a medical predicament once again.  This time, she has the doctors stumped even. Props to her. It took her mom to age 25 before she stumped the doctors on something. 

Well Anyhoo this poor chick is suddenly projectiling her bedtime bottle every night. Totally fine during the day. Totally fine the rest of the night. Happy. No fever. Yep, what the heck!? The doctors are at a loss as we enter night six of this crazy new problem. They are hesitant to throw her into a bunch of tests she may not need, so as the doc put it to me on the phone tonight, he is sleeping on it tonight and seeing what he decides. Yes, we stumped the pediatrician folks. Thankyouverymuch.  At this point I am just praying it is not something major, although the doctors agree that 'major' would rear it's ugly head more than just at bedtime. Ugh. Stay tuned.....
