Fruit Fiend

We keep meaning to pull out the videocamera to capture on film exactly how quickly Clara can polish off an entire carton of raspberries (about 60 seconds flat). The same holds true for bananas, pineapple, apples, strawberries, grapes, and melons. We call her our "little bear" or "angry bear" when she runs into the kitchen, points to the fruit bowl on the countertop, and then vigorously shakes the legs of her highchair. Here's that wild look on her face, captured while she was eating raisins today. She was on cloud nine... until she realized I wasn't going to let her eat the entire carton.







And finally, one more photo to round out the bunch... here's Clara sporting a mismatched outfit (Daddy dressed her) and crossing her ankles while eating (she has always done this, even when nursing).

So cute! Not too long ago we had to buy two cartons of raspberries in the store because Nikos threw such a tantrum about wanting to eat some right away, he finished the first before we made it to the checkout. At least it is fruit and not ding dongs, right! :)

Daddys must go to the same school to learn how to dress their babies. Scrumpy often looks that "festive" when Daddy picks out his outfit.
