6 month check up

Well, Xander hasn't outgrown his car seat as I had so fearfully thought. The sumo baby weighed in at 19 lbs 15 ounces. 2 pounds till he out grows that seat. Thank goodness. I dread the day that I have to pick a sleeping baby up out of his car seat and stick him into a hard metal shopping cart. The pumpkin seats are so convenient in many ways. I'll miss the days that i can snap him into the stroller and he faces me. I get to see him smiling at me and slowly dozing off as the sounds of nature lull him to sleep. Why weren't all strollers made so the baby faces you? But once he outgrows that baby seat, I'll have to strap him into the stroller facing forward and take him out of the car sleeping or not. Being a big boy has it's price. Maybe once he starts walking he'll slim down a bit. it cracks me up when I get updates about friends kids who say "Little Jessica is 15 months old and weighs 22 pounds!!" I want to say "really? maybe you should feed her!" Xander is my pleasantly plump little turkey and I love him so much.
