both boys have outgrown their car seats. we have been back and forth about whether to move madelyn up to a traditional booster seat or to get mason a seat like madelyn's current one. while madelyn more than qualifies for a booster seat, we decided to invest is a second 5-point harness seat for mason. by the time maddux is ready to move up again, mason would not be old enough for a booster so it was the better (and safer) investment for the long term. plus, madelyn can buckle and unbuckle on her own so it isn't that big of a deal for her to stay where she is until she outgrows it and it will convert to a booster if we wanted to let her use a regular seat belt before out growing it.

we had a fun day of swimming at the neighborhood pool while matt worked on some finish up work at the house (light bulbs, batteries for fan remotes and paint touch up). we swam, went and had lunch with daddy at the house and back to the pool for a few more hours of 'swimming'. after lunch mason sat and watched madelyn, maddux and i in the big pool and i got to meet a few more neighbors. we are really going to like living there! love.

Yay for enjoying the amenities while meeting new neighbors :) Ahh, the car seat challenge - very familiar with that one. WIth the new recommendation (rear-facing to 2), we may have to buy another as well... they made that rec right after we bought the last one- oh well.
yes, the new recommendations... it is funny that maddux is our largest/longest child and he stayed in the carrier a full three months longer than the other two did. i couldn't figure out why he could until i realized that he is the first that was in it while we had a minivan! it makes a HUGE difference when trying to wrangle a kid into the seat to have the extra headroom.
