I'm right there with you! Your son sounds completely normal to me. It's seems my son has been on "go" since the day he was born and he's 2.5yo now. He has always been very very active. Try and include a lot of activities in his day and definitely take him out doors and let him go until his little heart is content lol

We moved a couple months ago, and there's a playground in our apartment complex that is completely fenced in with gates(thankfully) and I take my son there and he has a ball and after an hour of running around and playing and everything he is nice and relaxed once at home. Well for about 30 minutes at least lol

As to having him sit still to eat, I have no advice as I can't get mine to sit down all calmly and eat either half the time. Today at lunch he sat, took a bite, then ran around, then sat and took another bite and on and on. Mine's so active that if he wants to run around in between bites I'm all for it, I figure there's nothing wrong with it, let him wear himself out in time for a nap lol I think i'll definitely try the racing thing though since my son loves running. He's going to be in cross country when he's in school i think lol

Yes he sounds like one adorable ,noisy  over active Normal boy, He will quieten down a bit' but once he is old enough plenty of sports and Games will help you, get his Dad involved to give you a break ,dont know where you live but most States and countries have plenty of activities for children, ball games,and if he is as lively as he is now that will be useful, you can also start a quiet' time of reading or a little TV Good Luck,.

Some kids just have a system that is always on "GO".  19 month olds aren't the greatest at sitting still----  they are serious explorers, it is a very exciting new world to them.  Eating can be tricky.  My son has problems with things that are too chewy as they are hard for him to chew up small enough for him to swallow (especially at that age).  Meat is still tricky to this day.  So I looked for lots of ways to slip in protein.  Beans and bean dip on a tortilla chip, etc.   Look if it is a consistent pattern as to what he turns away (crunchy, chewy) or food group (vegis----  my kids loved them until around that time and then I have to fight to get them to ear a vegi), etc.  Kids like to help with their food too and mine were more inclined to eat it if they had help prepare it. Also, maybe some running around before dinner or mealtime would help.  Run races around the house.  After brisk activity, he may settle down for a little while at dinner.  (not like an adult.)  I think I also had my kids in highchairs at that age.  They couldn't get out . . .which helps.  He sounds normal but active and you'll have to work to find outlets for that.  Good luck
