The Throne

No, not the porcelain throne, but Max's new throne, otherwise known as a HIGH CHAIR. Maybe this needs a little more background. So when Max was big enough to sit up and eat in his own seat we talked what kind of high chair to get. The first chair was this one:

And although it served us well for some time, the pediatrician recommended we get a seat where he is able to sit right with us at the table and not so removed from it. This suggestion was made because Max's height and weight gain weren't up to par and thought that sitting at the table with us would encourage him to eat more. So we bought this one:

Which also served us well -- sort of. Shortly after attaching this to our kitchen table Maddox learned how to stand up in it. We would reprimand him over and over to sit down and would strap him in, but to our horror he had also learned how to wiggle out of the straps. One morning while eating breakfast Max stood up and fell out. That was when I put an end to this chair, drove to Target and bought THIS:

Max's new high chair! This kid LOVES his high chair. He will sit in it for hours eating snacks or watching TV. It's hilarious. He cries and throws tantrums just to get in it and sometimes doesn't even want to ever get out and I have to pry his little sticky cheese covered fingers off of it just to give him a back or put him down for a nap. I'm not complaining! Seriously, this new high chair has been a gift -- a sweet sanity saving mind numbing gift.

Happy Eating LITTLE MAN!!
