1751Arden’s constant eating has always been a source of amusement, but this past week things have gotten ridiculous. To give you just a glimpse of what she’s able to put away at the tender age of 13 months, we made a list of everything she ate this past Sunday:

Phew!

Is it any wonder that her “first word” was the sign for “eat”? She gives the sign first thing when she wakes up in the morning and after naps, and about every hour and a half after that.
