Moth eater

Angie ate a moth today. One minute it was flying around her, the next she caught it and shoved it into her mouth. By the time we realised, black juice was dripping down the sides of her mouth. Yeeeech.

Luckily we managed to pull out a substantial amount of the moth. And now Angie has learnt that they do not taste good. Her face distorted when she bit into it.

Anyway, I'm left wondering how quick her hands are. Isn't it rare for babies to be able to catch flying insects?!

I'm also now real worried about what other things she must have put into her mouth when we are not looking... this one requires an eagle eye man. Her sis Ally hardly put anything in her mouth and liked to sit in one spot. Angie...exact opposite.

Yet another tale from my ever precocious nephew and niece. My nephew learnt fine finger dexterity by picking ants off the ledge and eating them one by one. My brother was like, "never mind lah, protein!"

I think I ate rose petals cos I thought they'd taste like rose syrup. :)

From your accounts of Angie, you sound like you've got a very athletic prodigy in your hands! She's going to grow up a National athlete!
