We finally moved Ryan to the big car seat, something I have been avoiding forever. Its not that I dont want him to grow up,it just the inconvenience of all of it. In his old carseat we could carry him in and out of the car
actually already in the carseat. This is ideal for a baby that spends a lot of time sleeping. Now, when he falls asleep in the carseat (which he does almost every time he is in the car) I will have to either 1) wake him up or 2) take him out and pray that he continues to sleep while I race through the house and up two flights of stairs to sneak him into his crib. Its a tricky game, and one that I'm not sure I'm ready to play.
Either way, I bit the bullet. We put it in ... and he appears to hate it. The little guy is always happy in the car. He babbles to his toys or silently stares out of the window. Today he screamed, cried, and tried to jump out of his new seat. Finally, he seemed to give up. And he sat silent, with a death-stare, for the rest of the trip. He is not a happy camper.
Hopefully its just an adjustment period. We actually thought the new seat would make him happy ... but we might have just crossed a line that the little guy did not want us to cross ;)
