The small goings on at home

There hasn't been a whole lot happening in the Brahm family the last few days. I got my new dining room table, and I LOVE it. It's so pretty, and sturdy. Our last table was so wobbly it drove me nuts. That one is now out on our patio since I think that's where it was always meant to be. Our new one is counter height and it's fun to watch Noah just walk right under it. :)

My latest idea has been to find a way to make Noah's little play area more fun looking. I finally found a way to do it, so I ordered the stuff I needed online, and then a couple days ago I put everything where it's supposed to be. I'm very happy with the result. I don't think he really cares, but now it looks more "kid-like."

Eh, he'll eventually appreciate it. He's more interested in his

books right now though. That's not a bad problem to have though.

I thought that was an appropriate quote to put there. :)

Playing with his Christmas present from Great-Grammy and Papa.

He saw the camera and started making weird faces at me.

Definitely his father's son. I think this might be

the worst picture of him ever taken.

Yesterday we took him to the little playground near us since it was so nice out. He LOVED going down the slide. Daddy took him up the the top, and he slid down, and Momma caught him. He would grin and squeal as he was going down. It was just about the cutest thing ever. We didn't have a camera with us though, so there aren't any pictures. Next time we'll take the camera with us.

Saturday was the Fresno Walk For Life, so we were out at the park for the first half of the day. Noah was very good considering he didn't get his morning nap, and his afternoon nap was much later than usual. I did get a couple of cute pictures of him there though.

My new favorite thing

Yesterday I went in search of a booster seat for Noah. We have been pushing his highchair up to the table instead of using the tray, so I thought maybe we could just get him a booster seat to put on a regular chair. So, online I went to look and see what was out there. I found this- the Fisher Price Healthy Care Deluxe Booster Seat. Geez that's a long title. Anyways, I LOVE it. There aren't any cushions or crevices for Noah's food to get stuck in, the tray is dishwasher safe, it's got a cover that snaps over the tray in case you'd ever want to use that, it folds up, and it's very portable. I gave him his "second breakfast" with it in the living room today because at the moment, we don't have a table. When our table gets here later today, we'll see if we need to use the tray or not, but I'm so happy to know that's it's not a hassle to clean it even if we do end up having to use it all the time. It's perfect. I'm getting rid of our old highchair, 'cause I'm never ever ever going back. When we have another baby, if Noah is still using this one, I'm totally buying another one. So anyways, just thought I'd share so that if there are any soon-to-be mothers out there, or mom's who will soon have babies eating solids, or other mothers like me who just hate cleaning their current high chair, know that this is out there to make your feedings easier. :) By the way, Target had the best price on it. It was cheaper than Amazon by a few bucks, and I didn't have to wait for it to get here.
