Cornucopia

The babies are the size of bell peppers this week, or so the baby website says. It struck me as odd initially, that they would compare babies to things we eat. I guess they needed common reference points? Why not a tennis ball or pint glass? Now I think it fits perfectly. If you add all of the fruits and vegetables the baby is compared to you would definitely have a cornucopia's worth of food. The cornucopia represents harvest, wealth, and abundance. These all seem like wonderful wishes for my children.
