Yesterday was a very productive day for me! Yay! I got done everything that I had listed on my to do list and I was ready for my family who is visiting from Montreal to come and see our place and our son. Everyone was gathered around our bar height table nursing their glasses of wine or cups of coffee while I readied my little man for his supper. My mom came into the kitchen while I was preparing his meal and was shocked at the amount that I had made. "He'll never eat all of that!" My response was that I wouldn't have made that amount if I didn't know that he would eat it. Over the course of forty-five minutes (my little guy is a slow eater) he proceeded to polish off every last bit of food that I had made much to the surprise of my family. Granted, at least one ounce of food wound up on his bib, hands, or face but he still managed to eat about ten ounces of food. At least I wasn't feeding him in his swing like I used to. When he started to put his toes in his mouth while I was trying to feed him, I decided it was time to move him to his booster chair. Cleaning pureed peas out from between his toes with a q-tip was not going to become a daily routine!
Never have I been so glad for the invention of portable booster seats! We have a Fisher-Price Healthy Care Deluxe Booster Seat (sells on Amazon for about $30.00) and it's an amazing little thing. There are two straps that allow you to attach it semi-permanently to just about any type of chair and three height levels to make sure that your baby is at the perfect height. The tray has three pieces: a lid to keep it all clean while traveling (or keep a dirty tray from mucking things up on your way home), a dishwasher safe top tray with separate cup or bottle holder. Remove the dirt upper tray and your baby can still stay and play in his high chair with a clean bottom tray while you clean up! This is a very handy little chair especially since it all fold up and buckles together to be no bigger than a large purse. The one thing that I would have found handy is if it reclined. If it had been a reclining version like the Fisher-Price Space Saver high chair, I would have been able to use it right at his first feeding instead of feeding him in his car seat or swing. We're one of those starting families that lives is a small two bedroom condo and space is at a premium. When it came time to decide between a formal or dedicated high chair or swing my husband and I decided that the swing was more of a necessity. I do not regret our decision. The swing is the best thing (I'll have to review that next!) and I was able to feed my son in that for quite a while without any problems. Not to mention that the swing is a life saver when getting him to fall asleep!
So I hope I've provided you with some fun and helpful info today! I hope you all have a good night and see you tomorrow!
