Hamming It Up

This morning I made an appointment for Holdy’s 4-year well check.

We’re always curious to see what the scale says at his appointments. When he turned a year old, he sorta headed for the 3rd to 5th percentile and has been hovering down there ever since.

{I try not to dwell on the percentiles…at least he is short and lightweight so he doesn’t look too skinny!}

However, his newest culinary love interest is HAM.

How random is that?

This kid loves ham so much so, he pulled it out of the ‘fridge one day with a loaf of bread, put it on the counter and went to find Jay to make him a sandwich. I come home from running errands to find the dogs eating the ham out of the brand new package. {Our Border Collie was tall enough to grab it off the counter}

Adios ham!

Today for lunch he ate TWO whole ham sandwiches on wheat bread with mayo! I made him one and would’ve been happy if he had stopped there, but he asked for another one and devoured that.

I guess we’ll be stocking up on ham over the next month and seeing how many sandwiches this kid can put away.

Fingers crossed that he’ll hit 30 pounds at his 4-year check up.

{He was 27 pounds on 9.30.10 when he went in for his flu shot}

Any of you floppers out there have any {healthy} secrets to getting your munchkins to put weight on?

Swine related or not, any advice is appreciated.

Oink! Oink!
