My dad’s dad was a corn farmer, and I lived on his corn farm until I was almost seven years old. I have so many wonderful memories of running up and down the corn stalks, and using ears of corn as improvised dolls – we would use pine cones to brush their silk tassel hair. In the summertime, my siblings and I would often pick an ear of corn and eat that raw for a snack. It tasted fantastic!
My kids never got to see my grandpa’s corn farm, but it has been fun to see them enjoy corn on the cob!
Nine-month-old Anna thinks corn on the cob tastes pretty amazing, and I really enjoy watching her eat it! My grandpa never got to meet her, but I know it would make him smile if he could see her.
I thought this video was too cute not to share. I hope it makes you smile, too!

So adorable! I love corn too!
Wow, Anna is a good corn eater! Not a choking hazard then, I forget the rules!!
It’s not a choking hazard – the cob is too large and the kernels are too small. But I was a little surprised that she could bit it with so few teeth!
Very cute! I love that you used ears of corn as dolls and combed their hair!
She’s really enjoying that corn! Sounds like you have lovely memories of your grandpa’s farm.
I LOVED living on my grandpa’s farm. I was so sad when we moved away!
Yup, that pretty much made me smile!
Jeff loves to tell the story of when his niece was almost 2 and still had no teeth, and she was trying to eat corn on the cob. They finally let her have some and she got the biggest grin on her face and then dug in.
Adorable!! Definitely smiling here. :) :)
