Silly Dinners

We made a vow that when we got our new place we would make a point to have dinners at the table with nothing but music on. It's an easy little thing to do, but what a difference it makes to be forced to slow down and enjoy each others company. Some of the best entertainment has come out of these dinners. For one, Liam has learned how to roll his eyes. His eyes mostly stay up though instead of immediately rolling back down so it's a combination of unnerving and hilarious. To add to this new talent, Chris has gotten him to say "Oh brooother" as he rolls his eyes. It's cute because he doesn't know that action is meant to be obnoxious.

And then the other day, we were eating shrimp and Liam decided to use the shrimp tails as fingernails. Again, a combination of unnerving and hilarious. He was twisting his hand in the air with fascination and laughing at himself. So great. I can't even remember that far back, but dinner must have been so boring before him.
