Sir Eats A Lot

I am a little worried that baby Doodle is going to be an overweight kid and adult. He LOVES food. Tonight for dinner he had about an eighth of a head of cauliflower with tomato sauce, about 12 grapes and some pasta that I had cut in half to make it last longer. I fed him the cauliflower on a spoon. Immediately after the spoon left his mouth he would whine for more (staring at the plate and saying mmm, mmm, mmm faster and faster until I fed him more). I gave him the pasta on the tray of his seat and let him feed himself. I did a few dinner dishes while he was eating the pasta. When I was almost finished rinsing the dishes I thought, wow baby Doodle is doing quite well with the limited amount of pasta I gave him. He must be eating at a normal pace. Then I turned around and noticed that he had reached the big tupperware of pasta and had eaten almost every noodle. That is what was keeping him so occupied. I worry that he doesn't feel full, or doesn't care that he feels full and just keeps eating.

I also think this would be the thing that is less than perfect about baby Doodle -- he'll be fat -- and I am afraid of being fat.
