Mom on the Run

My baby Avril is starting to grow fast lately. I used to monitor her height form the time she started walking and now that she's turning three, I noticed the exponential increase on her height that made me so dazed.

During my Avril's first year, her growth in height is considerably low however, the rate slightly increased as she stepped on her second year. And from her height then, she increased an additional of 4 inches as of today which is her highest raise so far.

Kids grow fast at one point in their lives and there also comes a point where their height freezes at a certain period. Parents may become bothered with this inconsistent change in escalation but this is a normal development for toddlers. No child grows at a perfectly steady rate during their entire childhood.

When I was pregnant, my mom always tells me to eat more than the usual and eat more fruits. This is because pregnant women have another stomach to feed inside of them which is their baby. Now I understand why I love to eat when I was on my way.

I can't believe then that I asked for foods that I don't usually eat when was not pregnant. I found out that during pregnancy, we develop some kind of routine that fits the delicate health requirements of pregnant women.

So to all husbands, don't fret when your wife always asks for something to eat because it's really the baby that asks for that food.
