Random Questions

So today's post is a series of random questions that Em and I have been wondering about. We have several books, but they don't all agree and we also are a little to crazy busy to read them at the moment (which is weird because we are both crazy readers usually).

When did your children start teething? X seems to be heading in that direction, but it seems really early and I think he may just be loving his new found hands.

At what age did your children grow out of their infant carseat? We're starting to shop for our convertible carseat and big boy (or at least not stroller frame with carseat) stroller and are wondering about time frame. He appears to be long and skinny, so may length out of his Snugride before he weighs out.

Well, I thought we had more, but now that I'm writing, we can't remember the other questions, so that's it for now.

On the sleep front, he woke up at 8am, we sang and read books, he took a two hour nap, woke up at 11:30am, took a second 30 minute nap, woke up at 1:30pm, we went to the library, we came home and he was up the rest of the afternoon and evening, except for a few micro naps of less than 15 minutes and was whiny and sad for the last two hours of his day before going to sleep after nursing at 10pm. So it was a good day, he just seemed as if another nap or two would have been good, but he couldn't settle. Oh well, we seem to be managing. Thanks for the advice on the sleep front.

I believe that J. started teething at 4 months. He did not actually HAVE any teeth until 11 months. That was really miserable. I hope you do not have the same. :-) But they can start teething really young, even if there is no evidence of teeth.

We switched J. to the big boy carseat at about 6 months old; he maybe could have gone a few weeks more in the technical sense, but he was much more comfortable in the new one. However, my sister's little peanut switched at ONE YEAR. So it all depends on your kid; I had the one year thing in my head and thought we had all the time in the world to research a new one and then he just GREW and GREW.

FWIW, the major Britax sale is in February, so you should have time to wait for that if you go that route. Check out bulletin board for more carseat info than you would ever want, and I can keep you updated on the sale if you wish. :-)
