It's finally here. I love weekends. A chance for some free time with my family and help during night wakings. Last night we bought Teagan's "big girl" car seat. Obviously she doesn't need it for a while but we found it on clearance at Target and as I am sure you all know, we can't pass up a bargain! It is a Britax Marathon, a carseat that gets great safety ratings and has a large size range so she can use it for a long time. We hoped to find a little more neutral print, but they only ended up having a girly print in stock. If we have a son next he will be riding in style in a pink car seat with flowers! We are checking other area Target stores to see if we can find the gray print instead that is also on clearance.
Teagan has been napping for almost an hour, so hopefully we can eek out another 30 minutes to make for a happy baby (although we are cheating - she is asleep on our bed, I am laying 1 foot from her keeping a watchful eye). Next nap will be in her crib, and hopefully now that we are getting her day off to the right start with some sleep the next time will be easier. It's all about baby steps.
On another note, a third book I ordered from Barnes & Noble with my sleep books is a book on child development. Everyone is always asking me "how far can Teagan see" or "when will she sit up or roll over". Plus I want to do all I can to foster her development as she grows. This book, called The Wonder Years by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It has tons of information on developmental milestones, broken down in easy to reference sections with pictures. I can't wait to read it - if I could only find some free time!
