Liam Hoekstra is ripped. Liam Hoekstra is 19 months old. "He's hungry for a full meal about every hour because of his rapid
metabolism," Dana Hoekstra said. "He's already eating me out of house

As if toddlers weren't difficult and hungry enough. If toddlers don't maintain sufficient body fat, brain growth can be negatively impacted. But the Hoekstras have an admirable attitude. They view their son as a miracle boy and are grateful for every minute they have with him.
Guess I'll stop complaining about my kids and their frequent eating ways.
