Toddler Car Seat

My 8 month old daughter is almost too big for her infant car seat. She has about 1/4- 1/2 inch left to grow before she is over the limit. So we were planning on buying a new toddler car seat for my 28 month old, and moving my youngest into the convertible car seat. We currently have the Britax Boulevard, and I love it. But when I was reading reviews on the Frontier and Regent there were complaints about installation and bulkiness. I don't want to put her in a booster because I feel safer keeping my daughter in a 5 point harness for as long as we can. What toddler car seats do you have and what do you like/dislike about them?

What is one of your New Year's Resolutions?

A Brand New Year

Hello Ladies - 

Have you checked out the new website that the church launched on Jan 1?  It's TOTALLY awesome...called "A Brand New Year".

Of course, it's for the youth, but it's got all these great downloads, music and videos.

You HAVE to listen to this song called "Say Yes"...I am not sure, but it does sound like David Archuleta is singing on this track.

Anyway, the song lyrics are sooo smart and good.  And it's a fun song...You will want to download it, trust me!

Anyway, Happy New Year, friends...and "Say yes to Happiness" in 2009!

No more consignment and used kids clothes!

Have you guys seen this legislation that is being passed on Feb. 10th? It is crazy and outrageous . I have bought the majority of my daughter's clothes from mom to mom sales, yard sales and children's resale boutiques. My budget is going to be hurting once this is passed. Anyone else a little frustrated?

Going back to school.

Well many of you will remember last semester when I posted about whether or not to take online classes. Well I did end up taking them and it was really hard since I had a baby in the middle of the semester. I passed but not with a high grade. Well I am crazy and once again I am taking classes. I only have 5 classes left until I am done with my associates degree. I am taking 3 this semester. Two of the classes that I am taking I am actually going to class for and my kids are going to the daycare at UVU that I used to work at. My daughter is only 3 months and I am really worried about taking her there.

Well my question for all of you today is about whether or not I should pump breast milk for her, for while she is at the daycare or to just give her formula. She has had formula many times and takes it just fine. Do you think that giving her formula is fine? Do you think pumping is a better alternative? How do I pump enough for her for while I am gone, if I do choose to pump?

Also I am worried about her wanting to stop nursing. Do you think giving her 1-2 bottles tuesday and thursday evenings while I am gone, might make her want to stop nursing all together? This is hard for me because I couldn't nurse my first baby and she is such a good nurser. I don't want to ruin that! Any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated. THANKS
