Tot Tuesday: Food Pyramid

Have you ever wondered how many calories your little one should consume in a day? Apparently there is an equation and a food pyramid for our little ones. With E turning 1 last month, I have been researching this kind of thing and thought I would share it with you.  Hope you find my findings useful ;)

I just love this picture? I love the point of view this momma took during this shot. Just wanted to encourage your creative eye before I get started on the post for today. I am always taking pictures and looking for new ways to capture my little love.

As always each child's nutritional needs are different and it is always wise to check with their pediatrician for any child specific concerns or questions.
