This is how Nicole eats an apple:

She starts on one side and eats straight through to the seeds.  Notice that she ate the bottom of the apple.  When she gets to the middle she spits out any parts that she doesn’t like.

Today, I got out some butter to use in our dinner, but I had to go help a child before I could get started.  On my way back to the kitchen, I encountered Nicole holding my stick of butter and preparing to take a second bite.  She was very mad when I took the butter away:

If it was Ila, I probably would have let her eat the butter—she needs the calories (She weighed in at 16 lbs with her diaper and all her clothes on at the Doctor’s last week).
