A New Chair for Vanessa

I finally broke down and bought Vanessa this...


My sister Kelly has one for her son and every time we are at their house Vanessa and Phin are constantly fighting over his chair. Vanessa loves the chair. I had debated back and forth 'cause she is getting older and I just don't know how long she'll really use it but since kids up to 40 lbs. can sit in it, I figure we'll get to use it for a few years. Plus, it's a training tool for me. Unfortunately Vanessa has never been one to hold her own bottle (yes she still uses a bottle). I'm trying to break her of the bottle and me holding her every time she wants some milk. I'm hoping we will get her to hold her own sippy cup while sitting in her chair. Cross your fingers for us! The good news is that she already loves the chair!! She couldn't wait for me to put it together before she wanted to try it out.


Yep, she's laying on the fabric and the unassembled poles. Here she is being super cute in it after I got it put together.


And the even better news, she actually held her bottle and sat in it for a while.


No, it didn't last long but baby steps, right?
