With Will now able to sit up by himself, some things have gotten easier. Like going to Target. I would lift the (heavy) car-seat out of the car with Will inside and snap it into the stroller base. Then I would stroll him around the store and if I found something I wanted to buy, I'd either a) hold it in one hand and push the stroller with the other, or b) put it underneath the stroller, hoping it didn't look like I was trying to steal. Not the easiest. (I know you can balance the car seat on top of the cart, but I'm so short that I couldn't see around in front of us when I did that, and it was a little scary!). So yesterday, I decided to try and have Will sit in front of the cart.
Ta da! It was SO much easier! And I think he really liked being able to look around.
Then last night we went to one of our favorite restaurants - Dave's Italian Kitchen. After telling Matt of Will's successful buggy ride earlier that day, we decided to try out a high chair. He could barely see over the top of the table and looked a little funny, but I think he enjoyed it and had a good time!
(Excuse the terrible phone pics!)
Today the weather was really nice so we took advantage of it and went for a walk. It was sunny and got up to the 40's - you can tell in the picture that the snow started melting!
We took the "big kid" stroller - I think he appreciated not having to look at the sky and tree-tops like he would in his car-seat stroller. We even put on his New Balance kicks (he usually just wears socks) and sunglasses! What a big kid! He is just growing up too fast!
