Mommy I want some!!!

Last night I picked the boy up and he was a cutie. He was yelling in the car on the way home though which is something new he picked up. Not sure what that is about but I think its just that he can now vocalize, know that he's vocalizing and I think he's trying to figure things out. He also does this cooing things when he's tired that cracks us up. Ed and Asa got to see it on Saturday night but the girls at the Fiber Retreat were LOLing for quite awhile with it too back when he first started it.

Well, he was tired. By the time we got halfway home he was out and when I took him out of the carseat he was still out. He snuggled in to me and so I conceded and sat on the couch with him and just loved on him. One thing I did notice is that he's smelling different to me. The change in diet changes the kiddo and its a bit sad but its okay. He's just getting bigger and no longer an infant...he's almost a toddler.

To reinforce that fact with me we sat on the floor while I had a very late dinner (thank you mel for making stew!) and Mr. Benton looked at me, looked at the bowl, looked at me again and then did this happy flail with his arms in the air and then on the ground. I took that as a sign that he wanted food too so I got him strapped into his high chair and fed him oat meal. He really, really likes it. Mel walked in just as we started and he had a big grin on his face.

So, it looks like he'll be getting food at night when we get dinner at the same time too. Which is good. Mel and I got into the very bad habit of eating in the living room and eating at the table will 1)be good for us as a family and 2) is really good for making us keep the table uncluttered.

He sounds so CUTE!! I can't wait to see him again.

I developed the same bad habit and am now working to eat at the table for breakfast and dinner, too. It's a tough one to break but I feel more human when I do it for some strange reason.

he is so adorable when he wants his oatmeal.

Well, I can't say that eating at the table helps keep it uncluttered... Just that the clutter either moves elsewhere, gets arranged for easy pick up, or just gets condensed to take up less space.
Still, eating at the table is a good thing.

Also, the growing up thing is good. :-D

We started eating at the tale once we moved and room. It has made a big difference in the clutter - at least at one end of the table! And Cora's manners have gotten better, too. It's been nice to have that enforced family time and I think it'll be even better once the kids are older.
