We are at 12 1/2 months, and I have to cut her off, otherwise she would never stop eating, and that's not an exaggeration. When it comes to pasta she would eat as much as me if we let her.

My 32 month old has been a bottomless pit for the last year or so. The child EATS. She generally puts away more than her brother who is 2 years older. I think she eats more than I do on a good day. I don't know what percentile she's in, but she's definitely not fat, not a dimple or roll on the kid. But she'll eat 5 bananas in a sitting if I let her. Which I don't usually, but I've seen her do it. I often hear, "I HONGRY, mommy!" at about 10:30 in the morning and when she wakes up from her afternoon nap. So she usually gets two snacks between meals, a piece of fruit, or 3, and/or a cheese stick. Then she gets to eat as much as she wants at mealtime. Oatmeal for breakfast (she's an oatmeal fiend- she threw a fit in the Wal-Mart parking lot the other day because she wanted "OATMEEEEEAAALLLL!" Not chicken mcnuggets, not candy, oatmeal), whatever paleo dish I'm eating for lunch, and then whatever meat and veggie paleo dish we're eating at supper. Sometimes she only eats one little Ikea bowl, other times, she eats 3, but on the whole, she's a big eater. But since she's eating healthy food, I don't cut her off. She's never eaten until she's thrown up or anything. She just has her daddy's super fast metabolism that burns off everything.
