Our new seat!

Ma and Sha trekked out to get a new carseat today!

Sha is a long, lean baby machine!

Sha has outgrown the height requirements for his old carseat. Thankfully, an experienced Mom let me know...'cause I ummmmm really hadn't noticed. I knew his head was almost at the top, but I didn't realize your supposed to have 1" between the top of the seat and the top of their head.

Ooooooooohhhhhh. Yes, everyone pretend you didn't know that either, please....

He does not meet the weight requirement (20lbs) for a forward facing seat, yet. Dilemma time! After some serious hummming and hawwwing and some offers of borrowing (which were really sweet), Pa and Ma decided that it we should just go out and get him a new seat.

The laughable part is that we only need this seat for for 3 pounds!!!!

We thought we had figured EVERY angle of this carseat thing out, and I had assumed (made an ass out of u and me) that he would surpass the height and weight thing at the same time. But nooooooo....

After Sha breaks the 20 lbs barrier (he is legally allowed to face forward), we have a really nice carseat that Grandpa and Grandma McF got for him for his first birthday. :-) It is a much sleeker design and will fit nicely in Pa's car. (Unlike our last seat where Pa had to practically sit on the steering wheel).

The one we bought today would be too bulky for Pa's car but fits in Ma's Blazer.

The good news is, once he hits 20lbs, we will have 2 carseats for 2 cars, so it will mean less fanangaling (is that a word?) all around.

That's our news.

Preemies are expensive litte people! But he's worth every penny. :-)
