Facing Forward

When we first installed Adelé's car seat before she was even born the comment made by the woman helping install it was "don't flip them around too soon, it's much easier to fix a broken leg than a broken neck".  Since that time I have been relentless that we won't turn her around until she is 2 years old.  Obviously others choose to turn their babies around before this and it's safe according to the car seat manufacturer so I am not saying it's bad, we just chose not to.  Well it's getting to the point where Adelé's knees are bent at farther than a 90 degree angel so we opted to turn her around. 

This has given her a whole new perspective in the car.  On our first trip into town with this new arrangement she waved at the drivers next to us and helped whenever we were stopped at a red light by saying go.  She is going to be the best little back seat driver!

She is growing so much it's amazing how much she now looks like a toddler and not a little baby anymore.  Sad how fast she grows. This past weekend at mutual she wanted to be right up with the girls painting fingernails.   

I stayed home from work on Thursday to work with her.  She wanted to be right next to me at the table the entire time doing what I was doing.  She amazes me everyday!  She is able to sing along with the ABCs and tell you what letter comes next.  So entirely blessed to have her.
