New car seat for baby and new room for Gabriel

Last night we picked up a new car seat for the baby. Gabriel and Cadence both used the same infant car seat, but it has since expired (yes, car seats have an expiration date). I researched several online and was really impressed with the Graco Snugride 32. Most infant carriers allow you to keep baby in it until baby weights 22lbs. This seat will allow baby to continue using it in until he/she weighs 32lbs and is 32 inches long. To give you an idea, Gabriel is 32.5lbs right now (although he is much taller than 32 inches).

After we picked up the car seat, I gave the kids a bath and read them a book while Chris hung the curtains in Gabriel's room. We have been going non-stop since Saturday and this was the first chance that we had to put them up. Apart from the ceiling fan, which Chris plans to install this weekend, the room is done.


I think I'm more excited about the mural than Gabriel is. :)



He looks so tiny in his big boy bed!



We re-finished an old dresser that belonged to Chris's parents
