The Highchair Hype!

I Love my Highchair!!!

I am writing today more for myself than anyone else.  I am going to need to be able to look back when I am on child # 2 and remember that Babywise is amazing, but routines will change.  Now that Foster is taking a shorter evening nap (we are forcing a shorter nap to extend night sleep hopefully from 10.5 to 11.5-12 hours, thus producing a waketime of 7, and not 6-6:15) we are feeding him a bit earlier than originally set.  He goes down at 5 for a nap and we feed him at 6. So...last night we decided that it was time for Foster to begin eating with mom and dad at dinner.  He had actually already eaten when we finally sat down to a meal of freshly steamed shrimp (just off the boat) and crisp, fresh veggies-so delicious!  So, we decided to strap him in and see what he would do.  He has been taking all his solid food in his Bumbo, which is only a problem bc he wants to lean really far forward and bite at his food- hilarious but frustrating!  However, I am ready to transition him to the highchair.  We strapped him in and, we gave him a spoon and his sippy cup (which he has no idea what to do with, BTW).  He did try to put the spoon in his mouth several times which could be just another sign of his genius nature or just that he is in the stage in which everything he touches goes in the mouth. We will opt for the first, obviously.  Anyway, he was so cute and simply content to be sitting down to dinner with his parents.  What a great evening!

What a Gerber Baby face!

I am such a Big Boy!
