On the whole, though, we're doing exceptionally well. Morenna is growing like a weed and is a bit more of a handful. She's taken to standing up whenever anyone will help her and consequently she wants to be held all the time! She's sleeping well, though, so I'm able to spend most of her waking hours with her and still get things done in the meantime.
M and I are looking into buying a mini-van. Don't jump to conclusions, and no, we're not getting ahead of ourselves. It's just that Morenna's carseat barely fits into my Civic, and it's hard to get to her during our long trips back and forth to Ohio. All the SUVs we looked at had gynormous consoles between the driver/passenger seats, which is exactly what we're trying to get away from. We looked into the Honda Odysseys and fell in love with them. Come this July, you might see me driving one. Holy cow... that will be the day.
On the weekends, Matt and I can go out and drag-race our minivans. Make sure you get a six-cylinder engine or it will be too easy :-D
ReplyDeleteAhh yes, the minivan dilemma. Lucy's seat barely fit into our Ford Focus, too, but fortunately we've been able to use Jeremy's Honda CRV for the long drives so far. We now have her in a front-facing seat, which fits a good deal better. :-) With another one on the way, though, it's going to get very tight! I think we may be able to avoid the minivan for a while, but we'll have to see how it goes...
ReplyDeleteAs for Morenna's standing and rolling over (mentioned in your newsletter) -- watch out there! You may end up with a super-active baby like ours. ;-) I'm thinking (and hoping) this next one may be a bit calmer. It at least hasn't been doing flips and karate kicks like Lucy did, lol.
