Let it be known that on Saturday, August 1, 2009, Mr. Nathan Byron initiated his first encounter with solid food, transitioning into the relationship with the ever-famous, ever-bland rice cereal.
Though sitting in the high chair would probably have been excitement enough.
I don't know why I'm in a girly plastic seat confined by stroller-like straps, but I like it! Dance for me, minions!
What's with everyone trying to cram things in my piehole? Wasn't it enough that the Eucharistic minister offered me wine last Sunday at church? (OH, YES SHE DID. Maybe the parish is just really progressive?)
I suppose I can forgive your presumptiousness. On an unrelated note, let me brace myself for the delectable joy that lies ahead.
(Note from Management: I feel the need to point out that this shot and the next feature Luke's hand, not mine, as evidenced by usage of the right hand and the trail of hand hair. Thanks.)
For heaven's sake, Daddy, YOU ARE TOO SLOW WITH THE JOY. Give it here.
What, no wine?
Ha! Love his face in the last one! (And in all the rest- he is too cute!)
Take this FWIW, as I have been known to dress my son in his sister's tutus and put his hair in ponytails, but I think the high chair is totally gender neutral. I HATE our high chair. It's the one item I refuse to give away when we're done with it because that would rob me of the pleasure of taking it out back and doing it up Office Space style.

Haha! Love his face in the last picture. And I think that high chair is completely gender neutral.

That's awesome. Nathan's such a cutie! Great facial expressions.

That last picture! Hilarious! I kind of want to take him home with me. You don't need a babysitter in St. Louis, do you?

I love the last pic. Cutest shot ever...I love it.

I love the last picture.
My son's swing is from that same Graco collection. I feel it's gender neutral.

That last pic is AWESOME. I wish Lila liked her cereal this much!! I also wish we'd caught the faces, they are priceless.
This whole series is seriously just too cute, I can't stand it.

HAHAHA! I love that boy!

That minister needs a talking to! ;)
Such cute pics!

First, the polka-dots are perfectly fine for a boy! Secondly, those pictures are great! He seems to really like eating!

Great pictures, great high chair, and great boy

I don't think it's girly at all! I bought the whole set excluding the highchair and the diaper bag... And I have a little boy. I bought it specifically because I thought it could be for a girl or a boy..
Anywho.. great pics! I love them all

Blog-her related entry on jennsylvania.com:
Don't Sour Grapes Make the Best Wine?
From the 2007 BlogHer Session Schedule, which takes place this summer in Chicago:
Book to Blog and Back Again
Let's talk tactics: what does it take to get your blog turned into a book. What are agents and publishers looking for? What about self-publishing? And then once you have a book, how can your blog augment and enhance the book and help its sales? Denise Wakeman moderates a discussion with people on both sides of the aisle when it comes to Blog/Book opportunity, including blogger/author Ariel Meadow Stallings.
I guess despite going back to press ten times and having over 100,000 copies in print of Bitter alone, I'm still too much of a dork to sit at the cool bloggers' table in the lunchroom because my offer to participate in this session was summarily rejected.
BlogHer? You are dead to me.
If anyone to wants to hear my take on the whole blogs-to-books thing, I'll be holding court in the bar at the Four Seasons, time and date TBA.
P.S. Everyone is welcome at my table.
(Edited to Add: Apparently all the speakers weren't set for the above session and if I'd have read the whole website with that disclaimer, I'd have known it, and should not have jumped to conclusions based on, you know, the printed course description that a handful of you sent me, asking why I wasn't included. My plans for the Four Seasons remain the same.)
