Big mouth
When I picked up Zoe from daycare the other day, Elena commented on how entertaining it is to feed Zoe. When I probed further, Elena explained that the minute Zoe sees food – any food, including Elena’s lunch – she shakes in excitement and opens her mouth very wide. I told her we’ve seen plenty of this at home, too, and then asked, “But don’t most babies open their mouth when they want to be fed?” (I figured Elena should know; she’s been caring for babies for 18 years, after all.) “Yes,” Elena answered slowly. “But not as wide as Zoe!”
