Some real improvements in the feeding front

Is it the new house, all of the new distractions, that she is having a growth spurt, or has she just deciding that eating makes her feel good. I guess we will never know, but Brie has been eating better the last week. Recently we discovered the gerber graduate meals and she seems to really enjoy them. She will eat almost an entire meal in one sitting. Hopefully by adding olive oil and butter to the veggies and the bonus of some actual nutrition going into her with these meals she will have gained some weight.

With all of our long car trips lately we have discovered that Brie is outgrowing her infant carseat. She does not mind it for short trips but after about an hour she starts to sign all done. We would love to make her forward facing so she could see where she is going and look out the window, but she is a pound shy of the 20 lbs required by law to be forward facing. (Yes, we finally hit 19 lbs today!) Marcus and I have been looking at convertible carseats, but the ones we like and have the best safety ratings will not fit rear facing in our car. So it is a race to see which happens first does she hit 20 lbs or 29 inches. Her infant seat maxes at 29 inches and we are getting close. I guess if she is too tall we will have to make her forward facing sooner.

As for the new house things are starting to come together. Brie's room is almost finished. It is a nice bright pink that daddy is not a fan of, but Brie seems to like. I think it will be toned down a little once we get the furniture in and some decorations on the walls. We are also going to add some crown molding and a nice area rug. Her room is the closest to being finished. Our move is scheduled for next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday so it should be interesting.
