We finally got Hayden a "big girl" car seat. This one is supposed to see her through a year or two at least depending on weight and height...which shouldn't be an issue for her. She still only weighs 18 lbs. and must weigh 20 to face forward...of course our doctor just reminded us that the Department of Transportation has recommended that ALL kids should face backward until 2 years of age. Oh well. The dream that forward facing would make Hayden a happier car traveler (less screaming, please Lord!) will just be put off for another nine months...surely by then she will have hit the minimum weight requirement...or perhaps my eardrums will have grown callused.Thursday, August 27, 2009
A big girl now!

People tell me Ben looks small and he is 17 pounds and only 5.5 months old. Hayden, I hope being tiny will bring you great joy in life! Just ask mom what type of step stool is best :)
