Big Girl Stuff
I swear I don't know what happened to my little baby. Every day she seems to be getting big and more mature. And even though we're on vacation, she refuses to stop growing! The other day we had to go make a few purchases for Little M. Here is the first.
Yup, that's my girl sitting at the table, eating dinner in her BOOSTER SEAT!!! We have a portable high chair that my parent's bought that we bring down the shore with us. We brought it down this time too, but the first few meals times, Little M would not stop screaming when we put her in it. So my big sis L and I headed out to Target and picked up this booster seat. We brought it home and Little M immediately loved it! Meals times have been so much more relaxing and she could not be more well behaved. She sits and eats even better now than she did in her high chair! I had planned on still using her big high chair at home for a little while longer, but I'm not sure she'll even sit in it after experiencing the booster.
We also picked up this cutie the other day for Little M.
Her very own step stool! She loves being able to {almost} reach the bathroom sink to wash her hands {her new favorite thing} and brush her teeth.
Skip and I were also talking today, and we think we are going to flip Little M's car seat around to forward facing. As you know we've previously talked about it here and here. We were hoping to keep her rear facing until 2 years old, but she has been screaming ALOT recently in the car, and mainly because she is not getting much of the A/C back there and it is so hot for her. She'll be 20 months on Thursday though, so if we do switch her, I'm happy we have lasted this long.
Lots of big girl changes around here!!
Somehow I think having a step stool officially makes her a big girl!!
ReplyDeleteso cute! i've been feeling like this bout my little man these last few days and weeks much more than I ever have and what a coincidence - he turns 20 months tomorrow! time is flying!
ReplyDeleteAww. What a big girl she's getting to be.
ReplyDeleteAnd we totally didn't make it 20 months with the car seat. It's great that you went that long.
We have that same booster seat! We keep it in the car for when we eat out because occationally we end up somewhere without high chairs.
Aw, she's so big! Not to mention absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhen the little girl I nannied for got a forward-facing seat (at around 15 months), she started LOVING the car! Even now, every time I babysit for an afternoon she spends the whole time asking if we can go for a ride! Maybe Little M will be the same way!
J NEVER would use a high chair, only a booster seat (has a detacable tray), so we have this highchair that has never been used. Hopefully Micah likes it lol
ReplyDeleteGood job with the car seat! J freaked out about his car seat at around 20 months as well. He had had enough, and the screaming was getting dangerously distracting, so it was safer to switch him forward. It was amazing...totally different kid in the car once he could see forward! I was glad we made it that long though!
I love the hippo seat! My little girl collects hippos, so we have a GREAT affinity to hippos.
ReplyDeleteMilestones are so fun! Enjoy!
