Big Girl Carseat

So, along with turning one comes the excitement of a new carseat! We bought it a week or two before her actual birthday, but it just sat in the box in her bedroom. But on her first birthday, I drug the box to the living room and got it all ready!

"I'm not so sure about this new seat..."


"Oh wait, it rocks my world!"


"Check me out, chilling in my carseat like a big girl!"


"Seriously mom, enough pictures. Usually when I'm in my seat we're going somewhere but we're in the living room. What gives?"


Now I was all prepared to install it in my car and ditch the infant carrier, but the doctor advised still using the carrier until she outgrows it because rear-facing seats are safest. But we did put it in John's truck since he doesn't drive as often, so my anticipation wasn't completely crushed! And boy, does she like getting to look out the front window when she rides in it! So cute!
