Playtime with Plastic Food

We have some plastic food that both Merrit and Ollie have been having fun with lately.














Fried eggs, anyone? A bagel perhaps?


















The play area in the kitchen is working out really well. Although we lost our breakfast nook, we gained a little spot where the kids can get messy and I can keep an eye on them. As long as the toys stay on the rug (that's one of two rules; the other rule is: everything has to be picked up before bed), the messiness never gets so out of hand that it stresses me out. :-)














Ollie is doing very well with his bottle. We don't use it that often, but now that Merrit will be at his homeschool co-op one morning a week, it'll be important for the ladies in the nursery there to be able to give Ollie a little snack in my absence. Here, he's drinking organic goat milk (which is supposedly less allergenic than cow milk for babies less than one year of age).
