I'm a Big Boy Now

Well I got our new car seat today. Now please someone give me a cookie! The car seat I wanted and got is originally $300. I went to Babies R US firstly because John took the stroller again and I was going to Dothan and didn't have one. So I stopped in there to buy a light weight stroller. And when I walked in our car seat was there ON SALE, even better ON CLEARANCE! I got it (not in the color I wanted) for $219! No one likes the color I got, its Carmel brown, not that bad of a color, I just wanted black. However, I did not find the stroller I wanted. Well I did, but it was $70 and since I thought I was spending a lot more (the sale sticker still said $274), I didn't get the stroller at all. So I am just going to buy it online and have it shipped here. Maybe then I will avoid sales tax.

I went ahead and bought the stroller online. I hope it gets here before we leave for Birmingham, as it will come in handy. We also installed the car seat. It is MASSIVE! It sits taller than the front two seats. I had John install it behind the drivers seat so it is easier to get Cade in and out since now he is heavier and you have to lift him higher to get him in. It doesn't recline like his infant seat does, guess that is because its a convertible seat. His feet touch the back of the seat worse than in the infant one. But we really have no other option. I wanted one with the highest safety ratings because we will be doing most of our traveling in our cars. 

Today was also the first day I put Cade in a cart, AKA buggy. He did fine. He was so excited to be sitting in it. But of course I didn't have the car seat cover since it was in the basket of the stroller, both of which were in the back of the Mazda John had drove to work. Even living on this small of a base, I couldn't find it. 

It is sad seeing him in the car seat. I don't like it. At first I thought it was because I didn't like the car seat. Its huge and big and it wasn't the color I had wanted. But then I think I am realizing it is because it shows how big Cade is becoming. I guess I am just not ready to face that.
