Big Boy Car Seat

There are several reasons why we aren't as "on it" with this little one.

1. With Big Brother around, we cannot overly obsess on every little thing he does.
2. With big Brother around, our lives are exponentially more hectic.
3. Big Brother is sooo big, he always makes Possum look little.
4. Its hard to acknowledge that your baby is quickly not your baby any more.

Having said all that, I told Patrick that we needed to start considering moving Possum into a big boy car seat.  While the infant seat is great for transfer, it was starting to get way too heavy to carry with him inside.  Patrick kept saying that he was still too little.  Looking back at my journal, I realized that we had made the transfer right around this time, so my aching back and abs were not a figment of my imagination.

Of course, busy won out and we delayed this new change to our every day life and lo and behold, patrick pulled out his back.  He was pretty much out of commission for four days.  Yes, changing the car seats became priority number one this weekend.

I was a little worried he may not like the sitting up feature of the big boy car seat, but was I ever wrong!  Such a happy little one.  I think I want to delay his milestones just a little because I am a little selfish.  I want to always think of him as my 8 lb little elf...not my 18lb Uncle Fester....
