On Friday night, we went over to our friends John & Ann's for "pizza night". It was great to catch up with everyone because we haven't seen them since the Superbowl party. Rachel was a good little munchkin and of course, she entertained everyone. It wasn't a late night - we were home around 10 and Rachel slept through the night! WOO HOO!
I was chatting with Wyatt on Friday night (he's a fireman) and I was asking if & when the fire department inspects car seats. He said they do it every Saturday & Sunday and he hooked us up with an appointment at 1:30 on Saturday. So that morning we got everything ready & installed the 'big girl' car seat in my car. I'm sad that she has outgrown the infant carrier but on the other hand, I think my arms & shoulder agree it was time to move her into the other car seat! ha ha Anyway, we took a picture of Rachel in the car seat before Ron installed it. This time, she was ok with it (we sat her in it when we bought it awhile ago) and was busy checking everything out. 
The firemen were great - they went over everything with us about the safety of these types of car seats and what we should watch out for, etc. They tightened it up for us and of course, Rachel just gawked the whole time! Mind you, I was pretty excited, too - but not because of the cute firemen or the fact that my little girl is growing up. No...I was excited because my little car, Ruby the Red Rocket, was INSIDE the fire hall! ha ha I know...I know...it doesn't take much to get me excited but do you know how cute Ruby looked in there beside the big fire truck? I can't wait to go back in August when we flip the car seat around to face the front - I'll be taking my camera with me!! :)
We made the trip to Toronto today with my parents to see Rybeca & Tim's baby, Aidan. Oh my goodness, he is just the cutest thing. He's 2 weeks old now and wearing 6m clothing. Yes, that's right - he's a big boy - both in height & weight (in the 90th percentile for both). Here are some pictures from our visit today...
Aidan getting ready to kiss me! ha ha ha ha
As you can see from this picture, Rachel wasn't too sure about Aidan at first.
It didn't take her long to warm up to him (her arm is around him - too cute). Also in the picture - my Mom & Rybeca's Mom.
Rachel asking Aidan "Hey - do you want to hold my hand?"
Aidan agreed to hold Rachel's hand but he appears to be quite bored!
How cute - the two of them holding hands/arms. Rachel looks like a giant beside him! ha ha
We had a good trip down - Rachel slept the majority of the way but on the way home she would not sleep. When we were about 20 minutes from home she decided to have a little hissy fit - she's never done this in the car before - so needless to say it was an interesting ride! Her cheeks were rosy today so maybe she's teething again? I don't know. She's been sleeping ever since we got home though - and that was 2 hours ago. I'm sure she'll be waking up soon though.
I'm sad that another weekend is over but there are still many more left. I think our weekends are going to be busier now that the nice weather is here though...but that's ok. That's what it's all about, right?
I guess I should go wake Ron up - he's asleep on the couch. Nascar always does that to him! ha ha

Wow, what a busy weekend! Lucky you that Rachel is sleeping through the night (again) - I still have yet to see Calder do that for me! :) Count your lucky stars! He's teething again, too - this time I think those pesky top ones are going to make their appearance.
Look at Rachel in her big-girl seat!! Calder got his put in on the weekend, too! How funny! My arms were killing me, too - and although if Calder falls asleep in there now I just can't tote him inside asleep, he seems to enjoy his big-boy car seat, just like Rachel appears to!
Aidan is beautiful. I am sure he and Rachel will grow up to be fast friends. :)
Have a wonderful Monday (hopefully it's not as rainy and grey there as it is here).
Love Elizabeth & Calder
