Jacob Eats

I have often commented to friends that our Heavenly Father knew I needed Jacob in between Emily & Jane. In so many ways he is the "hardest" child - but when it comes to eating he saves my sanity!

Jacob LOVES to eat.
He relishes it. He makes small approving noises.
He tries almost anything new. He eats fruit. He eats large portions and second helpings.

Meal times are not social events for Jacob, he stops talking as he picks up his fork. His head goes down and he is focused on eating and nothing else until his plate (or 2) are cleared.

When we recently ate out Jacob asked me where we were going for dinner, and what would I eat? I told him it was somewhere I hadn't been before - but it was Greek, so there'd probably be fish, and lamb. Also grape leaves, yogurt, lemon and olive oil. He said "MMMMM" and smacked his lips - then said "Please will you bring me something."
We got an order of baklava to go, and he had it for breakfast the next morning.

Jake feeding you is a joy and a pleasure!
