It has been a while

A lot has happened in the world since my last post. Let's start with the fun stuff.

Jasmine has grown so much that it's hard to imagine that she was so tiny only a few months ago. She started eating food a couple of months ago. Here is her catalog of foods:

  • Milk
  • Oat cereal
  • Water
  • Cucumber
  • Lettuce
  • Rice cereal
  • Rice cracker
  • Banana
  • Orange
She loves water. Or maybe it's the bottle. Whatever it is, she tries to snatch it away from us when we're drinking. She also drinks directly from the bottle. It's cute.

Also over the last few months we've gotten more gear! She will be outgrowing her current car seat any day now so I installed the new seat over the long weekend, the Diono Radian rXT. 

Reviews for this seat were decent overall, with the most common complaints that it is fairly heavy and difficult to install. I would say that it is definitely heavier than the bucket we used before, but the weight shouldn't be a major issue since it won't be moving very often. Installation was somewhat difficult since the rear facing installation with LATCH only connected at the two points. It was hard to get tight enough so it wasn't swinging around. I ended up tethering the top to the front seat rail. It is also much taller so whoever sits in the front passenger side won't have much leg space. I will have to reinstall it in a month or so if I take the car to swap out the winter tires.
