This is slightly late but you should try the Phil and Teds MeToo http://www.philandteds.com/upload/index.php/push/60
It’s super small/light and attaches easily to a table. Love it!

I just had to chime in b/c we love our Regalo hook on so much. We have one at our beach place and one that we keep in the car at home. Started using it when our son was 6 months and he’s 13 months now and still EXCELLENT in the Regalo. For $19, you can’t go wrong.

Regarding the sack n seat, we usually strap the thing to one chair, and stack it on top of another chair to boost him. As Ava mentioned, you can’t use it on stools but we find most places have chairs with backs anyway. We had the phil & teds me too chair but found it a real pain to carry & the tables we could use it on were limited. Since getting the sns its stayed put in our diaper bag, since some places have crappy high chairs that Jude will easily topple out!

And i’ve been eyeing the mark II for some time, & your photos are making me drool!

The FP booster is perfect for travel. And home use too. Left tray at beach–FP sent replacement (@ $2.–seriously, what is two dollars these days?) + it was shipped out so fast. Instead of packnplay, we are now using PeaPod–little pop up tent. It is awesome. Had kiddo nap in it at home first to get used to it. Happy trails. Btw–if ever this way–don’t sweat the gear. You can always borrow from us.

I bought the FP booster seat and it worked until my son wanted to eat off the table instead of the tray. It was too high and the chair wouldn’t fit under the table with it. I bought this Safety 1st recycled plastic booster at Target for $10 http://naturenext.safety1st.com/product/detail.asp?ID=3118. It’s been awesome.

@Kristen If you use Flickr I suggest a PRO account that takes full res images. It serves as one form of a backup for your full res images. One approach is to mark most of them as Private (so you still have them on Flickr for storage) but they aren’t shown in your flickr stream. I hate looking at 20 versions of basically the same image – but I often want to keep all of them.

Then let Flickr do the work to generate the different versions. When it’s time for a blog post you just link one of the smaller versions – small or medium.

Love the last pic! I think it’s totally Christmas card worthy, with a caption like, “He knows when you’re naughty,” or something.

I have a tutorial suggestion for you, saving for the web! I would love to know how you personally save images for flickr. I’ve been watching tutorials on it, but they’re all so different.

I was thinking I would save for the 5d Mark II to be my Christmas present next year, but you’re making me think I won’t be able to make it that long!

The last one is my favorite too JB! It’s such a mischievous look, vintage Jasper :) The top pictures are totally deceiving in regards to teeth. He actually only has three on top and three on bottom that are fully out – he may be the world’s slowest teether!

I like that last shot. He looks like a combination of naughty and nice. And so many teeth! My goodness, Jasper is getting to be such a…person! Wow.

OK, so with these “sack n seat” type things, how do you get baby up to table height??
