we've recently had a seating mix-up. gage graduated to the highchair.
and lane was demoted to sitting in the bumbo but graduated to sitting at the table.
random pictures from supper one evening. lane ate chocolate before supper, (yep, we're those parents) gage ate nearly a whole avocado, and then we sang songs.
vance always gets after me for how dangerously close i leave my water glasses on the edge of the counter. one day i looked back at where my glass was and seriously amazed myself.
making a mess...together.
lane's new favorite breakfast. oatmeal. he gets the instant stuff...it's my favorite too:)
gage is LOVING baby food. he is such a great eater. vance and i were talking earlier how we used to dread giving lane baby food. was it as really as frustrating as we remember it being or do we just have bigger frustrations now than feeding a baby food? at any rate, baby food isn't horrible after all. so far i've made all the food and it saves tons.of.money! another thing thats saves money is that NONE of it goes to waste...lane eats whatever is left. he loves baby food. i guess thats what happens when you have 2 babies in less than 2 years, the oldest one isn't old enough to think that stuff is gross.
lazy bones. seriously, look at them. watching thomas the train. i can't believe i've succumbed to letting him(lane) watch it, but you've got to admit...10 minutes of quiet time for mama sure is nice.
and lane, he can be a pickle but he is so compassionate...even when something is wrong with thomas. and that's when i realized maybe i should turn off the t.v., he's getting emotionally attached with a train.
one day i looked over and lane had put the toy box on top of gage. they were both getting such a kick out of it. lane was smacking the box and gage was loving that he wasn't getting hit directly.
playing.
remember a few weeks ago i said i was looking forward to one thing...well, here it is, getting together with my dear friend amy and our boys. we ventured out to a park in denver and of course, the boys kept us on our toes and kept us smiling.

we've had another play date since then. as always, a great time.
refusing to admit summer is ending...eating all the fresh fruit we can get our hands on.
i distinctly remember thinking two things when i was little that i would do when i had kids. one was always letting my kids spend the night at their grandparents house if they wanted too. i used to love sleeping over at grandpa jimmy and grandma hazel's house b/c grandpa would always go get kolaches from benson bakery. even when they moved to elkhorn he still drove to get them. the other thing i promised myself was that i would leave cookie dough on the beaters for my kids to eat. i'm trying...
whoa big boy.
love, love, looove him.
seriously, the slowest eater ever. table is cleared, dishes are done, and he's still eating.
then he sees the camera and feels the need to show me his food. such a boy.
poor gage had a fever so we camped out on the couch all night long.
the next day after staying up with fevering gage was i was exhausted. i mentioned something on facebook how i wish starbucks would deliver. my wish came true. there was a knock on our door and a friend from church, amanda, was standing there with this. TOTALLY made my day.
proof the lane does love gage. sharing his cookie with him.
when i was pregnant with lane i ate spaghetti o's nearly every lunch. i gave him some for the first time and without a doubt, he ate every little 'o'. ...aunt grandma kathy, the whole time eating them he said "uh oh, sghetti o" while pointing to the reimer family calendar. you are now our spaghetti o lady:)

his compassion for thomas is SO sweet! if only you could evoke that sort of empathy for gage... :) there really are shows that are educational! it is school time for the boys while you get a break :)
Good job making all your baby food! I made everything for Aaron too!! Have you frozen any? I always steamed mine blended it up and then put it in ice cube trays and froze it. I stored them in freezer bags and whenever it was time to eat I just got one out and heated it up and voila a meal! It was super easy and I was soo glad to not have to buy baby food! Check out the book Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron it is WONDERFUL!
