I am so sad...

I weighed Dillon late last week with his boots and fleece jacket on. He was 39.2 pounds! :( (He's 3 1/2 and by no means a big child, just average.) This means we had to move things around to get appropriate seats. Here's what we did....

-Moved Graco Cargo from Nana's Accord and replaced with radian from DH's car. (BTW, radian is not a fun seat to try to install in the accord with seatbelt outboard. Took me like 45 minutes to get a good install!)
-Replaced radian in DH's car with the Husky that has been hanging out in the basement.
-Moved marathon from my car to use rearfacing for Gilbey in DH's car and replaced with my new safeguard seat.

We are officially in the over 40 group (at least with boots on!) I can't believe we are already there. When he was born, there was no way I could imagine him growing so quickly.

I didn't know our boys were so close in age. He was born on the 30th? I'm trying to guess from your ticker. lol AJ was born on the 27th. He's 38.5# w/ all his clothes on. Thankfully he doesn't ride w/ anyone usually but me, but we're close to having to move things around too. Hopefully he can make it till tax time. I guess we'll just take his shoes off if he needs to ride w/ DH. :)

He's actually on the 29th. And we wouldn't have to be worrying if it was summer right now. In just underwear, he weighs 36 pounds, so with flipflops, and light weight clothes, he'd still be under the 40 by a safe amount, I'd guess. It's those stupid, heavy boots that is foiling everything! If we didn't have the high weight options, he wouldn't be wearing boots in the car just to keep him under 40 pounds, KWIM? I just can't believe that if there were no HW seats, he'd have to be in a booster now at 3 1/2...

Yeah, the safeguard is in my car for now. It is now outboard, because I could get a slightly better install there. I might move it to DH's though, since he has latch and it's supposed to be really cool with latch.

It's a little sad and exciting at the same time, isn't it? :) Hayley was only 4 lbs 7 oz. at birth (but 19.25 inches long), and she hit 40 pounds at about 3 years and 8 months old. She's 52 pounds now, and a smidge over 4 feet tall. I can't believe how fast she's grown.

LMBO I was reading it and reading it and kept missing the safeguard. I remembered you put it in your car when you got it but was confused when I didnt see it in this post. Its because Im blind! lol!
