Out with the old...

So, I found out a couple of weeks ago that Brenn was dangerously above the height limit for her infant carseat. Thankfully, we had been researching the 'next step up' in carseats for awhile, so we were ready to pull the trigger. (I still can't believe that she is over 28 inches long! Anyway, I digress....)

We placed the order the next day, and here she is in her new 'big girl' carseat! The seat looks so big, doesn't it??

She was more excited about it than we were! LOL! The convenience of the Snugride with the snap-in-snap-out base (great for switching between our two cars and we could 'tote' her anywhere without taking her out of her seat) was something that we weren't looking forward to letting go of. But, we got a shopping cart cover to protect her from the germs, and we decided that she really was getting too heavy to lug around in the seat.

And, let's be honest about it. It really wasn't the convenience that we were sad about losing. So, at the end of the day, we decided to embrace the first of what we know will be many more milestones to come that remind us daily of how quickly our baby is growing...
