Elektra must be going through a growth spurt. Sure, she's feeling tons better from the strep throat she had last week, but I don't think that is what's going on here (I could be wrong, of course).
In the last week, she's eaten like a horse and in the process, she has been putting down the protein like it's going out of style. For example, she had 1 and a half eggs - with melted cheese - for breakfast this morning. She's asked for yogurt every meal and snack and when we haven't had yogurt, she's eaten cottage cheese. And after eating a bowl of that, she's then had steak/chicken/some other protein on top of that!
In addition, she's been taking monster long naps. Each day this week, she's had at least a 3 hour nap, if not longer. Today, she had a 4 hour nap by the time I woke her up (she was dead asleep!), and she's still clearly tired! On Thursday, she had a 3 and a half hour nap, and then asked to go to bed 2 hours later.
Finally, she's been communicating even more than she already does. She very clearly said to me one day this week, "Where did DJ go?" I was shocked, and then she said it again. This morning, she said, "There's the sun," pointing at the sunbeam in our backyard that she could see while eating breakfast.
I claim Growth Spurt!
