I am so very happy that we got Leilani a new car seat today!
We've been lugging her around in the original carrier that we got before she was born. The old seat had a height limit of 30 inches and a weight limit of 22 pounds. Leilani has her 15 month appointment a week from today and I'm sure we'll find out that she's taller and heavier than that. I'm guessing 33 inches and 23 pounds. So you could say we've been pushing the old car seat's limits a bit.
So as an early Christmas gift, Grandma Sue bought her a brand new "Big Girl" seat. I'm totally stoked.
Also, the Midwest is being POUNDED by a geographically huge windstorm. It's so large that it actually started yesterday and won't pass until early Friday. It's blowing roofs off houses and knocking down trees. So far, the worst damage we've encountered has been some rogue shingles blowing off the roof.
Finally, I found out yesterday that my brother Donovan has been diagnosed with skin cancer. They found a malignant melanoma on his arm. From what my mom said, the doctor indicated that they caught it early enough to be able to remove it successfully and without the need for Chemo. The doctor also said that Donovan has a 90-95% chance that it hasn't and won't spread. I'm so glad my mom pushed him to go to the doctor in the first place. I spoke to Donovan yesterday and he's sounded very upbeat. Because of that, I'm upbeat too.
Yay for big girl seats!! Does Leilani love her new seat?
ReplyDeleteHoly moly on the wind storm! That is wild! Hope you guys don't get much damage from that.
Give your mom a HUGE hello from me and tell her I'm so glad she made Donovan go to the doctor! What is it with boys and them not wanting to go? I'm glad it was caught early.
