eating like a baby

I do not think the phrase "sleeping like a baby" means what people think it means. Unless one is excited by waking up incontinent every few hours, it does not seem to be a desirable state.

Eating like a baby, however, is something I can get behind. If my own baby is any indication on this matter, and I think he's pretty typical in this regard, eating is one of the high points of his life. No worries about carbs or fats or Atkins for this kid.

He really, really enjoys his meals. When I nurse him, he smacks his lips. He grunts enthusiastically. He slurps loudly. Halfway through, his eyes roll back into his head, and he sighs with deep and evident pleasure. He burps with gusto when he's done.

I don't think anybody has ever appreciated my cooking this much.
