The amount of food Claire can pack away is unbelievable. She usually doubles, if not triples, the amount of food Molly eats at mealtime. For example, last night for dinner Claire had a Nutri-Grain bar, a Baby-Bell cheese, Cheerios, a large bowl of peas, another large bowl of rice cereal, a whole banana, and then finished off what was left of Molly's macaroni and cheese. What makes this particularly impressive is that Claire only weighs eighteen pounds and is 1 1/2 weeks away from her first birthday. She must have Chris's metabolism; it's the only thing that could possibly explain why she's so teeny but can eat outrageous amounts of food. As a side note, she still doesn't have any teeth :)
