Car Seats

Sam moved up to a big boy car seat today, he seems to like it just fine. It probably helps that it has MUCH more padding! We went to Babies R' Us yesterday afternoon to pick it out. Just like with the stroller I lined up the top candidates and "let Sam pick" the one. (That means I strapped him into each and jiggered all the straps and knobs and pushed on the padding.) I expect height is going to be an issue so I tried to get a bigger one that will hopefully last longer. While we were there, ever the pusher, Sam helped Mommy push the cart to the checkout lane. Everyone thought that was too funny and he didn't like that he couldn't help push it to the car too.


Yesterday he really started to try walking more and seems to be getting more confident. He's got a slightly busted lip and bruised knees from the tumbles he's been taking but he doesn't cry and just keeps going. With all of the changes he's making I think I'm going to be the new crybaby around here. Everything new he does is precious but it is SO hard to see your baby becoming a little boy. Sniff, sniff.
