Well Grace has graduated to the big girl car seat. Believe it or not she has still been in her infant car seat all this time. Her legs had started to press against the back of the seat and she had to bend her little knees. I swear one day when I went to get her out of the car she looked at me with the most readable expression I have ever seen on any 9 month old. If she could have talked she would have said, "HELLO! Are you ever going to get me another car seat?! My legs are starting to cramp up from having them bent for the last hour." So I promptly came inside and ordered her the fanciest and safest car seat I could find. I probably spent entirely too much but it was Consumer Reports top pick for safest car seat...I truly am my dad's daughter. You see he purchases just about everything according to Consumer Reports ratings. Got to love him! So 7 days later here it is!
Now I know what your thinking...why is she strapped into while still in the house? Well that because it sat in the living room for a week before Neal and I even attempted to install it. It took that long just to get through the damn manual. So when it came time to finally put it in we picked the hottest day of the year. Picture it...Sun beating down, Neal on one side and me on the other, cusswords exchanged followed by, "Didn't you read the damn manual! Jesus! ". After 45 minutes and about a gallon of sweat, success followed by, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call you that. I love you." Thank goodness one of us is level headed. 
Grace happy after her nap :o)

I want the same carseat for Gracie...you picked an awesome one and it is money well spent...maybe you can help put ours together when we get it since you are a pro now! Our dads are just alike and I have seemed to be like you and follow in his footsteps, will our little girls do the same?
That is one fat ride! Did it come from the Pottery Barn chair-and-a-half section? That's baby's riding in safety AND style.
