Gwen was watching some Saturday morning cartoons with Spencer when I set Graham down next to her (he wasn't actually watching TV). They were so cute next to each other hanging out. He got super interested in her breakfast so I got him a spoon to play with. He has been snacking on bananas, frozen squash, and now frozen cubes of baby oatmeal mixed with breastmilk all in his mesh feeder. Graham sits up at the table with us while we eat (if he isn't napping). Yes, we have finally made the transition to eating at the kitchen table like civilized people. I had to sacrifice my dishwasher (it is a portable dishwasher) to make room to pull the table out from the wall so we can all sit comfortably. It is awesome! We don't have the TV on as often in the evenings because of this, and it really feels like we are a little family. We have also managed to have the TV off a lot more often in the afternoons (often Gwen wakes from her nap demanding TV) because Gwen enjoys sitting at the table coloring while I wash all those dishes!P.S. Graham's second bottom front tooth is coming in, so no more snaggle tooth grin.

we also just started eating at the table. Ok, sometimes we eat at the table. I noticed that we have more meaningful conversations and seem to enjoy or food better. It all just seems to be more intimate when we take the time to sit down with each other. So glad it's working out for your family too.
