But do puppies eat bananas?

With Reilly, I sometimes feel like I’m raising a puppy, what with the constant drool, chewing of furniture, and cleaning up of the poop. She even crawls around the apartment with toys hanging out of her mouth and refuses to come when called.

Just when I’m convinced that my daughter is a canine in disguise, she’ll go and do something that makes me realize not only that she is an actual flesh-and-blood baby, but also that her days as a baby are coming rapidly to a close.

I just made up some banana bread, and while I was doing it, I peeled a banana for Reilly to eat. Normally, I cut up the banana into little bite-size* pieces and let Reilly feed it to herself. This time, I fed her the whole banana, letting her bite off little chunks on her own.

The attached picture shows how far she got on the thing. Honestly, for a second there, I thought she was going to eat the whole nanner!



*I went back and forth for about five minutes trying to determine if the correct expression is “bite-size” or “bite-sized.”
