He’s Getting So Big! (Gabrielle)

He’s getting so big! Tonight Noah sat in a booster seat at the table for dinner. We had tried this before and he just wasn’t ready for it, but tonight he did really well. He was so excited when he pushed his plate out, grunted and we understood he wanted more food. When Seth filled his plate and gave it back to him he smiled so big. And he sat mostly still through family worship. When we sang he opened his mouth really big and started yelling. It was so cute. We had to make some changes like clearing a wide swathe of all breakable dishes around Noah and Samuel had a hard time concentrating because sitting next to Noah is a new and fascinating thing. I looked over at the highchair and thought that we can put it away now. I could feel my eyes misting up as I thought about wrestling that beast of a highchair down the basement stairs. Of course my eyes start misting when I think that in about six months I’m going to have to wrestle it back upstairs for the next one. This family is getting so big!
If you’ll excuse me now I have to go be really emotional.
