e and her food

it's kinda the running joke. everywhere we go, elena is the one that will just sit there and eat. and eat. and eat. and eat. most of the other kids are too busy playing to eat. not my e. if there's food, she's eating it. no one can get over how much the girl can eat. they wonder how many kids are actually in there. and what kills people is that she devours broccoli the same way she does cake. she just likes food. she's like her momma.

i'm sooooo happy to have a good eater. (running to knock on wood) here are a few 'e and her food' stories/pictures...

* miss elena saw me with oyster crackers the other day and suddenly asked for "octagons."
"octagons! octagons! i need octagons too!"
i know oyster crackers are hexagons, but i thought it was pretty cute and clever.

* so daddy has yet to learn that you cannot eat in front of her without her hounding...

these aren't staged....she's seriously just going for every bite of his.

yes, that's her tongue making contact...

that bite is hers...

heartbroken that daddy is done. daddy is trying hard not to laugh.

he needs to try harder.


* the idea that you can't possibly lick your own elbow is bogus.....clearly they didn't try putting some yogurt on my e's elbow. hello! get it sista!


* she really doesn't miss a thing....

nothing wrong with that....keep chowing little e!
