I had to laugh at your last line. Very cute!
She ate a total of 1/4 cup of food for the day over 4 attempted feedings. I hope this is enough. I am resisting the urge to weight her daily. She does feel heavier to me though and not as skinny. I would rather she be slightly overweight then I would not be worrying so much about her and trying to micromanage her every move.

The last line is 100% true.
