Starving Child and Update

I can't find the Journal I have been keeping about Jackson, it's driving me crazy!! I'm sure its in one of our many boxes of stuff that we kept packed. So I need to jot down a few things so that I will remember when I do find it. (Not really interesting for most of you).
He is now 18 months...
-He has had a HUGE increase in appetite. Eating everything and anything in sight!
-He does the eating sign when he is hungry (just picked up on it) and says "Meat, Meat." (Eat)
-Especially loves, nanas, grapes, cheese, yoey yoey (yogurt) and broccoli.
-Loves books! Asks to read stories constantly throughout the day, especially before bed. Cuddles up on my lap and listens really well. So cute!
-Loves balls! Likes to throw them down the stairs (thanks mom), and throwing them to Coco.
-Loves to kick the ball with mom and dad. Little soccer player!
-Loves to wrestle with daddy. Never wants to stop!
-Says "Da doo" (thank you) all the time. Whenever he gets somethings or gives something. Love it!
-Big helper. Always wants to help unload the dishwasher and help with the laundry and mopping. (Can't get anything done).
-Things I hear him saying to himself a lot...Sings EIEIO, One, two, freeee, Yeah (not sure why he says yeah after three??)
-Says "Hi Graga" (Hi Grandpa) whenever he sees his grandpas.
-Says "Weeeee" everytime he sees a slide, swing or anything with wheels (bike, motorcycles etc.)
-Insists on throwing his own diapers away. Says "way, way" and waits for me to take him to the garbage outside.
-Brings me a diaper when he is stinky.
-Brings me his "night, night" when he is tired. (His sleepers, which he is very attached to).
-Loves to put things away when I ask him. Thinks it's a game. Nice!!
-Loves to go to the library.
-Calls us Mommy and daddy now. (Instead of mama, and dada).

This is what I spent my entire day doing today. Feeding Jackson!!! He wanted a full meal like every two hours. We even had to leave the library early because he was frantically telling me "Meat, Meat". Exhausting!

Sounds like a growing boy. I can only imagine what he'll (and mine) will eat when they're teenagers if it's this bad now.

Sounds like a growth spurt to me. It probably won't last forever. Just be prepared to get new clothes soon. LOL! It's so great that you write these things down. I have tried throughout the years, but it gets harder the more kids you have and I know there are things that I have missed, so keep it up.
