Gavin Graduates

Well, it's all a blur...Mommy feels like she's been pregnant and had no sleep since 2004! Well, I guess that's technically true....Anyways, due to the circumstances, she is unable to recall when Gabe was turned around facing forward and got his big carseat instead of the infant carrier. Might have been around his first birthday? But, the more current news is...

Gavin has officially joined the ranks of his big brother. At 10 months of age, he is a forward facing car passenger!

Mommy had a garage sale this spring and cleaned out some things to make room for new. She earned enough loot to go and get Gavin a big boy car seat, just like Gabriel's. Gavin is not nearly the well-behaved, cooperative car passenger that Gabe was and still is. Gavin hates being confined in any way and fusses, arches his back and tugs at the straps, so we thought this change might help him some. It seems to be comfortable enough to sleep in but he still hates the car. Oh well. Guess it will grow on him. Maybe the DVD player will help distract him when he's awake so he can at least grin and bear it.

The 2 of them look so adorable in their matching carseats facing the front of the vehicle and riding in style. Ugh! I just can't stand it!
