Eight Months Old and Sitting High

Nora turned eight months old today. It's hard to believe that this time last year we were still trying to figure out what to call her. She got a very special gift this birthday: a high chair! We evaluated several models at the two local baby paraphernalia stores, eventually settling on one made by Chicco with the humorous product name: Happy Snack Cube, which sounds like a better name for the Buster Cube that my parents' dog plays with. She loves it, and more importantly, it makes feeding a much more pleasant experience. For lunch, we had – you guessed it! – hamburgers for her birthday party. Due to her strict schedule, she was unfortunately taking a siesta during hamburger hour, so she missed it. But I did get some photos of her in her high chair. Her next birthday will be on Christmas Eve, so we we'll have to take a break from the hamburger tradition until January.

The word for "high chair" in Spanish is trona, which means "throne". It does indeed give her a regal air.

Birthday girl.

Happy birthday, Nora!
