I think that's more to case here. His skeleton is growing, he's not just packing on fat.

I mean, anyone who's ever had a cat or a dog (or heck, anyoen who's ever been a kid themselves) knows that what creature *will* eat if given the chance is very different from what he/she/it requires.
I don't think that's so much the case with babies. Infants eat when they are hungry and stop when they are full. It isn't until kids start to get a little older that they learn to over-eat.
