Food- the highlight of her days

Melina is a food baby. Food is everything to her, I think she'd eat all day if she could. I get tired of feeding her.

With the passion she feels for food, she says some pretty cute things.

One time, I popped a mini donut in my mouth before supper, I had already had one and given one to her. I also had already told her that she was only allowed one before supper. I broke the rule. She came around the corner and squinted at me. I just looked at her, mouth closed tight, not chewing, and pretending to be innocent. She wasn't fooled. She continued squinting and said calmly "I want a donut too" I don't even know how she knew.

Then there was the time I reached into the freezer and dug out the pre-baked cookies I had made. I very quietly opened the Ziploc bag. She came whizzing around the corner at full speed and loudly yelled "Hey! Give me my cookies!"

Or the time I was eating a Greek salad, she had already inhaled hers and had picked off the good parts in Papa's salad. She came over to me and I told her no, mommy doesn't want to share. She look at me and said "Mommy you bad, I have to steal your tomato!" I must say she made me chuckle which earned her a tomato.

Like I said.. She's a food baby.
