next carseat?

Hello!

I have been researching our next carseat as Molly is quickly approaching the limit on her infant carseat. I am not sure if we will end up getting 2-one for each car or not. If we do it would be the Graco comfortsport Convertible Car seat and ?. The Graco has good reviews and is the right price, especially if buying 2! Not sure what the other one should be. I have narrowed it down between a Britax Boulevard and Truefit Convertible by Learning Curve. Both have good ratings but there is a significant price difference between all 3. Truefit received a 4 out of 5 star from the National Highway traffic safety administration. The Boulevard received 3 out of 5, if I remember correctly. I have had several people tell me to get a Britax-this was before I started doing research. I think even before Molly was born. Anyway, I am looking for any feedback that you might have.


Molly update: she now has 3 teeth. the 2 on the bottom from 2 months ago and one on top that broke thru last night. She has 2 more on top that look to be extremely close to coming thru. She is getting tall enough to pull things off the edge of the kitchen table-which by the way she is doing while I type. Time for me to sign off.

My birthday weekend

We had our carpet cleaned on Friday. We figured it would be more fun for all of us if we didn't need to spend 24 hours chasing Molly off the carpet so we headed north to Anacortes.

She played so hard that she needed to nap on daddy

After checking out Saturday morning, we drove thru the Tulip Festival. The fields are just starting to bloom full of color. We stopped at Tulip Town to wander around the fields.



On my birthday, we packed a picnic and went to the beach with some friends. I had a wonderful birthday weekend. Now it is back to reality. oh, the carpet turned out beautiful!

We celebrated Easter at Roger and Shelly's house. It was a fine feast with all the Riddles. Molly reading her Easter card

City Park in Edmonds

Molly's first trip to the park.

WOW! Look at this tunnel!




First motorcycle ride

City Park is a great park. They have 2 play areas, one for toddlers and one for the bigger kids. Molly was tired but didn't want to take a nap so we decided to go to the park before dinner at church. She had a great time even being tired. I think we will be back often. It was fun to watch all the other kids play in the toddler area.

Last 10 days



We had both sets of Riddles over for BBQ and games last weekend since it was a gorgeous weekend. In the high 60's/low 70's. Little David was a party animal as you can tell. Molly had to keep checking him out while he was sleeping.
It was a long game night.
Trying on my new sun hat. Don't I look dapper?
Daddy thought he should try it on too.
Too cute
I'm learning to do the dishes. Putting the maid to work. I can climb in the dishwasher too. I'm such a good helper.
Just cause I'm cute. Mom says my eyelashes looked red today.
Friends from church who have 2 girls, gave us a tub of clothes. I'm helping mom sort thru them. Can you tell I'm helping?

Besides all these happenings, Molly got her first cold. Thankfully, it only lasted her 2 days of congestion. Unfortunately, both Floyd and I got the cold and it has lasted us longer than 2 days. I think we have both had our worst days and are finally on the mend. Molly goes in for her 9 month check up tomorrow. We already know she's perfect.
