Abouuuuuuut Face!
Anna has finally crossed the 20-pound threshold, which means she can face front in the car! I know it is recommended that kids stay rear-facing as long as possible, and I originally wasn’t in any hurry to turn her around. But since this peanut allergy thing entered our lives, I want her where I can see her sweet little face, so that every time she coughs I’m not wondering if she’s ok. (I’m sure that will get better with time, but I’m still a little jumpy.)
We went to Staples yesterday for her first forward-facing excursion. I think she liked it. She even instinctively knew how to use the cupholder. Smart kid.
This was one of those times where she let out a big smile after I took the picture each time. I gave up after a few shots.
We turned our girls around the second they hit 20 pounds. Which also wasn’t until about 3 months or so after each girl’s first birthday. It’s so much easier this way! Look at how big she’s getting!
