Well, The Sad Day Has Come.

Kayelynn is now forward facing, and I no longer have an extended rear facer. :(
WAHHHHH.
I am VERY sad about this.




I don't have any pictures of her forward facing in her new seat. I'll take some in a few days.

I should be happy though, because WE MADE IT TO FOUR YEARS OLD REAR FACING!!

Well, hello there.

So, I'm slacking and the blog is suffering. Lol.
So. I'm 23 now!! Yay.
For my birthday Brian surprised me with a hotel in Gatlinburg, Tennessee!!
We're leaving on Friday, February 21st.
Obviously we have to take Aaralyn. 
We were going to leave Kayelynn with my mom but I felt bad because she would be missing out.
So, we're taking both the girls. 

Aaralyn is 8 months now!! (Uhm, almost 9. Lol. Told you I'm slacking!)
She has a tooth!!! (And two more coming in.)

We've looked at a few houses. So far we have found nothing!! 
Well, there is one we love.. Only we haven't seen the inside yet. Lol.
We're supposed to be looking at it sometime really soon.

Kayelynn is going to be FOUR soon. AH.
That is hard to believe!!
Okay. Well.. I'll leave you with some pictures.

I torture my child.

Someone on Cafemom just told me that I torture Kayelynn and Paige because they are Rearfacing at 2 and 4..... UHM... Really?

So let me get this straight.

I ERF because it is 500% safer. That's torture?? To make sure they are safe in the car.

That's okay. When we go somewhere I know 100% that they are as safe as possible, and I know they are 500% safer than any other forward facing child.

People, please educate yourselves. Just wait. The law WILL be changed and it will be the LAW to rear face until 2 years old. Then I guess everyone will be torturing their kids.

So excited!

Paige is RFing again and she loves it!! It's at a weird angle... But she still has about 3/4 of an inch left until we HAVE to switch her. :(

Rainbow Dash.

So, Brian and I went to Wal-Mart to get a few things. We have a birthday party to go to on Sunday for my BFF's son, so we had to pick out a gift. As we're leaving the toy isle Kayelynn starts jumping up and down with excitement. She had found a Rainbow Dash pony. (From My Little Pony.) She already has Pinkie Pie, but she LOVES Rainbow Dash. She knew exactly who it was. It was cute. So, we had to buy it. She went to bed with it. Lol. She even made me kiss it goodnight.

She is addicted to "Meet the Colors." It's from Preschool Prep Company. It's really annoying to me - But all 3 kids LOVE it. Kayelynn watches it every night when she goes to bed. It basically has all the colors and for five minutes straight it will show red in a thousand different shades. And it will have a little red poofy guy who is farming. And is says 'Red' over and over a million times for 5 minutes. Then it's on to the next color. Lol. I like that it's educational... I just think it's annoying.

So, some stats on Kayelynn.

She is 23 pounds now!
She is 35 inches long and has a torso length of 12 inches.
She wears a size 6/7 shoe... It depends on the brand.
She wears a size 4 diaper finally.
She wears 2T clothes... But some 3T also fit.. Which is weird since she is so tiny.
She is obsessed with singing her ABC's and The Lion King songs.
She loves princesses and can name them all.
She knows circle, triangle, star, heart. We're working on the rest.
She knows most colors.
She can recognize W,A,B,D.
Her favorite word is constitution. She says it all the time.
She talks A LOT now. It never stops. She surprises us all the time.
She likes to be independent. She likes to dress herself, undress herself, brush her own teeth. All that stuff. So, it turns into a little fight sometimes when I have to help. No way am I letting my 2 year old brush her own teeth completely alone. Lol. I need to make her a dentist appointment... I keep forgetting. Lol. She's going to flip out. She hates doctors so I know it will be hard to get her to stay still so someone can poke around in her mouth. She doesn't need to go, but I'd like her to.
She is a really good helper. She cleans up her messes. She says please, thank you, and you're welcome. When she's done eating she rakes her plate into the garbage and then puts it into the sink.

Okay, I'm done bragging now. Lol.
Kayelynn and her Rainbow Dash
Oh, and I have to add a funny story.
Brian and I are always talking about car seat safety now. He actually points things out to me when he sees someone doing something wrong. Well, we were on the subject of people claiming their kids have cramped legs at 12 months old. I was telling him how most kids will prop their legs onto the back of the drives seat or whatever because it hurts for them to just hang. I was like "Think about it. Even now at 21 I can't just let my legs hang off the couch. I'm too short for them to touch the ground and if they just hang they fall asleep and start hurting. So, I always sit Indian style." Well, a couple days after this conversation we were going somewhere and we had the Paige with us. I looked back at her and she had her leg in this weird position. It was bent backwards and her foot was by her butt.
Like that ^ Only she was in her carseat so it looked even more uncomfortable. I asked her why she was sitting with her feet bent all weird and she replied "It hurts when my legs hang down."

I looked at Brian and said "Just sayin'."

Just Wanted To Share. *EDIT*

Kayelynn's car seat is an Alpha Elite 65. (NOT an Alpha Omega Elite.) For some reason if you Google it the only thing to pop up is the omega version.

 Rear facing from 5-40 lbs, Forward facing 22-65 lbs and booster mode 40-100lbs. (And you can tell by the pictures she still has a LOT of room height wise to grow.)
I love, love, love her car seat. She's only 22 pounds now, so she will be able to rear face for a while. 

ETA AS OF 1-4-2015

This car seat is not recommended. It makes a deadly booster because of the belt fit. Impossible to recline correctly, and it is so hard to get a good install!

Another Post About Car Seats.

I don't understand what is wrong with parents. This girl I went to school with had her twins at 30 weeks. They are now 10 months old and she keeps posting pictures of them in the car in their new forward facing car seats. Seriously?!!? Not only are they too young to be forward facing, their chest straps are about 2 inches above their legs. Grrrrr.

Kayelynn is 20 months old and still rear facing.. And guess what, she will continue to be until she outgrows the weight limit... Which is 40 pounds... She's about 22 now.

And I hate when people use the excuse that their child's legs touch the seat... Really. Not only are broken legs fixable, unlike a broken neck, they are more comfortable with their legs on the seat than with their legs hanging down.

I really wish doctors would start stressing the importance of extended rear facing instead, doctors are encouraging parents to turn their kids around as soon as they hit that 20 lb mark... Doctor's need to start educating parents. They need to let parents know that at 1 year, a child's neck still isn't strong enough to with stand a car crash.

I saw someone at Wal-mart a while back who had a kid who had to be AT LEAST 2 and was in an infant carrier still. The back of the seat went to the child's neck and their knees were over the bottom. That pisses me off to. People really need to start abiding by the weight and height limits on car seats!!!

Rant over.
