Max got a new high chair from Granny and Gramps about a week ago, which allows him to sit at the table with his mom and dad and join in the dinner experience. He can be part of the conversation ("How are you -- no, wait, Max just spit a crunchy on me! So you were saying -- no, aarrgh, Max just smeared banana everywhere! Anyway, where were we? So what did Max do today?" and etc.). He can be at eye-level with the rest of us. And -- most importantly, as far as he is concerned -- the attached tray is fantastic for banging on to demand food, for painting with food when it arrives, and for spitting food onto to indicate desire to vacate the chair. Thanks, Granny and Gramps!

I really like eating with him. It seems really wierd not eating in front of the T.V.. Not in bad way, but it is different.
It's so precious when banging and spitting turns to disdain, rebellion, and threats of a starvation diet.
What I think is awesome is that I could have posted that on a prison inmate blog.
I love your dialog (or should I say dialog attempt). We have a million conversations going on in our house that are just waiting to be finished.

I know exactly what you mean, Joey!
that would be Max's cousin Joey, who is also a small baby.
Glad we could add to the entertainment(:
