Why do people use eating terms when talking about babies? Delicious, eat her up, nibble on them, etc? I am truly curious -- it wasn't a tradition in my family, and apparently the first time a visiting relative said it to me, I was terrified.
What's the link between children and liking them so much you could eat them? Is there something historical? I've never been able to puzzle it out. Help!
KH: Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
JK: Huh? Pocket? Do you need mean my shirt? Because I've been waiting for someone to mention it all day so I could say, "I'm asserting my right to wear arms."
KH: Um, no. I was trying to cutely refer to that bulge in your jeans...
JK: Oh, well that's just my cellphone.
KH: Gotcha. We really need to work on our banter. And your taste in t-shirts.
Nope. Not liking the T-shirt at all. Not getting the irony, or the humor, if there is any. But I'm just a humorless former participant in the Million Mom March. #katherineheigl

Those teeny knucle dimples and nammable toes are such a welcome site on a brisk yucky Monday. I had a crappy night's sleep after falling asleep in front of Desperate Housewives. I have NO idea why I'm still watching that awful show. #katherineheigl
@sybann: for fuck's sake! I can't correct my spelling on knuckle or nommable because "you only have 15 minutes to edit" when it's only been one minute. Stupid new format. #katherineheigl
That tiny smile on Heigl's face just gets me. She's obviously loving her new role as a mom. Huge congratulations to her new family.
p.s. As a person whose daughter has been a tiny sock/shoe/mitten/hat escape artist from birth I can relate to this photo. I spend a lot of time tracing my path back to find a stray article of clothing, as my bare footed/headed/handed baby just grins. #katherineheigl

But those arms do remind me of marshmallows. Fat, fluffy little marshmallows stacked up.

(also, judging by the comments, I am calling shenanigans on our alleged baby-hatred!)
