Tell me... am I over feeding her or something?

It does sound like she is having an awful lot of milk PL. At that age Molly was having a cup of milk first thing and a bottle before bed. That's sufficient calcium if they are eating yogurt and other dairy too. You will probably find that if you cut it down then she will be moew interested in the solids. I wouldn't worry too much about the fact that she doesn't like lumpy stuff. If she has more solids it will give her more practice at chewing and that will come eventually. Hope that helps hun.

Since about 1 year Molly has pretty much followed this routine and she is on 95th centile for height and 75th for weight.

6am cup of milk, only drinks about 5oz

7.30am cereal and sometimes fruit

12.00am lunch, main meal and pudding, either yogurt or fruit

04.00pm dinner, main meal and pudding, jelly or yogurt

07.00pm milk from a bottle, about 8oz, then straight to bed

She also has water when she likes from her cup throughout the day

I'm not too sure Tiff, but WOW she is really that heavy!!! Audrey just hit 26 lbs at 19 mths. After a year I only gave Audrey 8 oz of milk in the morning and night. In the afternoon she got 8 oz of water or juice. Did her doctor seem concerned?

It took a long time for Audrey to get efficient at eating solids without choking or gagging (which she still does on occasion since she inhales all her food, lol). I think she should be eating pretty much whatever you are eating cut up really small.

This is Audrey's feeding schedule since she was a year old:

Breakfast - 1 egg, 1 pancake, toast with peanut butter and bananas, or a bowl of cheerios with cut up bananas.

Snack - 8 oz of milk

Lunch - whatever I can find....

Snack - 8 oz of water with crackers, cookies, raisins, fruit, whatever is good for a snack

Dinner - whatever I make

Evening - 8 oz of milk

Audrey is also in the 50-75th percentile for weight (26 lbs) and 95th percentile for height (35 inches)

It seems like a lot of milk to me too. I agree that if you give her less milk she'll probably eat better/more at meal time.
This is our schedule. Keep in mind that at 1 yr. Owen weighs 21.2 pounds, is 29 3/4" long and is in the 25th percentile for weight and the 50th for height.

9:00 6 oz bottle (we are about to start weaning from bottle to sippy cup)
9: 30 or 10 - half of a banana and 1/4 cup of cheerios or a blueberry muffin
12:30 - lunch is usually 1/2 cup of a Gerber graduate pasta cup with a 4oz prepackaged English peas, carrots or green beans or a prepackaged cup of applesauce - sometimes I cut up fresh fruit instead
2:00 - 6 oz bottle
4:30ish - snack of diluted juice and goldfish crackers or cheerios
6:00 Dinner - usually whatever we are having OR a stage 3 meat/veggie with another 4oz of veggies
8:00 6oz bottle

I've noticed recently we usually have one bottle a day that he doesn't finish by as little as an ounce and as much as two ounces.
I give water or diluted juice freely since it's so hot here and I keep snacks like goldfish or cheerios with me at all times if we are out. If he gets fussy I whip out the treats!!!!!

LM is about on the same as Lucy. I feed one less Stage 2 fruit, and not the yogurt, but I give her those freeze dried yoghurt drops and animal crackers.

Honestly I don't think she looks bad at all in pictures. She is high in the weight percentile, but LM is a tall girl too, so I think that kinda balances it out. I wouldn't worry too much about her weight at this point if I were you. I think babies kinda do their own thing when it comes to that. You are not 'force feeding' her, and you are giving her good healthly food,not junk. I see lots of babies at story time in the library, can you believe there were 60 last week? Anyways, sizewise LM looks to be about par with most the ones about her age that I see there.

My book says at a year babies should be getting 24 ounces formula/milk per day, and adding food into that. So I have not taken away any of her formula, just tried to start adding to it. Lucy also drinks a couple partial glasses of water a day, but here in the desert they need extra moisture just like we do to keep from dehydrating.

Kirk worked with a guy at his last job that had a baby that was a chunk and OMG, LM looks like a fashion model next to that little girl. When she was LM height she had to be at least twice her size, I am not kidding you.

tiff, how active is LM? I can't really compare to her to thane seeing that is only 22 lbs soaken wet and is a little taller than LM. But, he doesn't eat anywhere near enough IMO but he nurses and gets a lot of milk that way but who knows how much!

it doesn't sound like she is overfed at all. and if she isn't really very mobile, once she is she will even out. you are just gonna have a big healthy beautiful girl on your hands

didn't you just recently take her to the doctor? If he/she didn't say anything about it I would worry either!
She IS very tall and my doctor said the second year of like they usually gain weight at a much slower pace.

You know, my SIL's little boy is the same age as LM and he's the same height and weight.....

Tiff - when I am out running around in the truck I always have a glass of ice water. I have started taking a sippy cup of water for Lucy too, and you would be surprised how much of it she will drink while we are driving and going in and out of stores and stuff.

-course by the time we get home it is just water........

Tiff - she looks just FINE to me!!!!!

She looks fine to me too - (except she is losing the 'baby' and starting to look 'toddler' lol).

She is still half of that other little girl I was telling you about.

Today at the story time at the library the little girl next to us was only 2 weeks older than Lucy, but I bet she was approaching LM's height and weight. She looked fine, just like a big solid girl too. And yes, she even had the ''baby boobies'' too (she was crawling and her top went south lol.)
