Fruit Fanatic

I found out recently that there is another fruit fanatic in the family besides me. With lots of great summer fruits available these days, Callan has learned to love Mommy's favorites, too. He tried strawberries a few weeks ago and didn't really make any fuss over them. But the other day we went as a family, along with the Techts, to pick strawberries, and all he did was sit in the field and eat/squish one strawberry after another! He'd eat them all day if we'd let him (I guess he's learning some things from his cousin).

The other day while in the grocery store, I thought he was going to have a hernia when I pushed the cart right by the fruit section. Hundreds of strawberries, apples, peaches, and blueberries right at his fingertips! I thought he'd never stop crying when I passed the bananas without stopping to get some.

Hopefully I'll get to post some pictures of when we picked strawberries. Of course I forgot my camera after looking forward to being outside and getting an opportunity to take some outdoor photos, but luckily my camera-ready friend, Beth, remembered to bring hers along. No doubt hers turned out better than mine would have anyway. So, Beth, no pressure. :) I'm only dying to see how yours turned out!
