Extended Rear Facing Car Seats

Alyvia's new car seat. She will probably be rear facing until she's out of the car seat completely. When she's 12. :) This is a great article that I came across showing the safety benefits of keeping our children rear facing as long as possible. Something to think about!

I can't believe my baby girl has already turned 1 year old! It's truly amazing how fast my little one has changed and grown and learned in just over a year! Alyvia took her 1st steps at 8 1/2 months and hasn't stopped since then! Everyone was so amazed to see such a tiny girl walking. Now at almost 13 months, she is climbing, jumping, running, and being so independent. She says lots of words including: shoes, hat, outside, baby, elmo, bite, bath, of course mama and dada, and so many more. She has become a little copy-cat! Little Gym has been a ton of fun for Alyvia! She loves playing along side the other babies and going through all of the obstacles. Bubbles and balls are especially fun at the end of each class. We also have a blast at Monkey Bizness where even mommy & daddy have fun going down the huge slides! Everyday brings us something new and I couldn't have ever asked for a more wonderful baby and loving family!
