Breakfast in the Chair

We've been working with Morty to slowly get used to eating his breakfast in his chair (instead of laying across our laps).  This goes along with the whole sitting in chairs & strollers & carseats - He hates it.  He hates being strapped in.  He fights it and goes into crazy extension trying to get out of it.  We started a couple months ago by just having him sit in the Kid Kart and while fixing his breakfast (the Kid Kart is like a wheelchair for young children with neck and trunk and foot supports, fully adjustable while he grows).  Eventually that progressed into eating a couple of bites in the chair.  That increased a few bites a day, and then this week, he was at about 40 bites of oatmeal, and only eating a couple more bites after I took him out of the chair. 

Today, the little champ ate everything while sitting in the chair, happy pretty much through the whole thing - even making a bunch of "mmm..." noises (quite a difference from the tantrums of the not too distant past).

I had to grab a few pictures.
Unfortunately, the kid has a bit of a reflux problem, so shortly after taking him out of the chair, he did a little puking action.  But all in all, it was a good morning!
