healthy appetite

(Linc eating a leftover chocolate bunny that his brothers left on the table.)

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this boy does NOT stop eating. Ever. It's his daily agenda to scavenge the house for foods left out, raid the pantry for foods in his reach, and find little pieces of (hopefully) food on the ground from his brothers.

And every morning for breakfast, he eats his food, then reaches for E and O's food on both sides of him and then proclaims he's done in his baby authority. So I usually wash his hands and face and set him down and he runs straight for his Daddy's breakfast. Or mine. Or just to see what food is on the table. We finally moved the fruit basket to an unreachable place because he would bite into peaches and apples and nectarines at least 10 times per day. I thought I wouldn't have to deal with an appetite like this until the boys were teenagers! Oh well, hopefully he's healthy. Now if we can just get him to eat some bread...

Zach is the same way! The only difference is that Zach weighs over 30 pounds! We're going to have hefty food bills in the future. You gotta love little boys !:) Lincoln is so cute.

Whenever my kids eat too much fruit I'm like, hey, I know! Let's have some cheese for a snack!!

Cause, you know, it counteracts the fruit.
