Well apparently Grae’s new seat gets the seal of approval… We got ready for the day, packed up our things, got everything into the vehicle, and got about 4 minutes up the road before this little lady was out like a light in the back. Her new seat must be comfy!

A New Seat!
Up until now, Gracen has happily been in the infant car seat we brought her home from the hospital in. And although she’s still well within the height and weight restrictions of her first seat, the straps are starting to get a little snug over all of the winter layers we’ve been sporting these days. So after some online research, we decided on a new Britax Marathon for our girl. We picked it up this afternoon, tried it out in the living room, and put it by the back door where Grae’s been visiting it every few minutes since.
Help Yourself, Grae
Little G has a thing for raisins. She knows exactly where they’re kept. She knows exactly how to get them. And apparently, she’s decided that it’s quite alright to help herself whenever she likes. Here’s her in action today:
What a little monkey. Apparently she was hungry.

Nothing like ringing in the New Year with a few new scrapes and bruises… Our little beauty is looking a wee bit rough today after yesterday’s park incident and it’s 100% mommy’s fault… We were having a wonderful time on the baby swings when Miss G asked to move over to the toddler swings (they have a back support, but the front is open). Against my better judgement, I put her on one. She was swinging just a tiny bit and I was right there in front of her just in case. Everything was fine. And then she decided to fling herself forwards out of the swing just as she was swinging away from me. Sadly, there was no catching her. She landed with a ‘thud’ in a full on bellyflop in the sand. There was sand in her nose, mouth, and pressed onto forehead and nose. And apparently sand is not at all cushiony – she’s got the scrapes to prove it. Poor little doodle. We’ll stick to the baby swings for just a little longer, little one.
