With the supervision of Mopsy, we have actual photographs of Korben going up stairs for the first time! Pretty scary, but impressive! I'm soooo glad that I don't have to worry about stairs at our house!
Have you ever heard of the church fundraiser where church members get "flocked" with pink flamingos? The youth at Don and Julie's church are currently doing this fundraiser, and we got to be there to experience it "up close and personal." Basically, church members pay to have their yard, or someone elses, yard decorated with pink flamingos. If I remember correctly, you must pay again to get the pink flamingos out of your yard. However, You can avoid getting "flocked" buy purchasing flock insurance for $150. It is a great fundraiser and a whole lot of fun.
Korben was very glad that his Poppy and Mopsy didn't get flock insurance. He had a lot of fun playing with the pink flamingos.
As you can tell, we had a wonderful weekend with our family!
Side note: Calling all moms who happen to be reading my blog! I need advice.
We left on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. so Korben would take his afternoon nap in the car. We decided to go ahead and make the "big move" or turning his car seat around to face forward. His legs were starting to scrunch up against the back seat, and we just figured that it was time. Well, instead of falling fast asleep as he usually does in the car, he fussed for about an hour. I know he is so excited to be able to see us, and we are distracting him from going to sleep. He needs sleep, therefore, he just fusses! The driver of this road trip decided he couldn't take it anymore, and we stopped in Conway to turn the car seat back around again. He went straight to sleep. I know that was a short-term solution, considering he can not sit backwards much longer. So, my question to you mommas out there...Did your child have a harder time sleeping in the car once they were forward facing? Does it eventually get better or can I kiss car napping good bye? Leave me a comment if you have any opinion on this matter! I'd love to hear your experience.

Hey girl, is Korben one yet? b/c the law is he has to be at least a year old before you can turn his car seat around. Besides that, I remember turning the car seat around and Ada did sleep less in the car, but she was never really that fussy. But I do remember missing a lot of activities so it wouldn't interfere with nap time, b/c she never slept as well anywhere but at home. It will get better, I'm sure you have already experienced how things change so quickly... especially this first year. Good luck. He's so cute...
It did take both of my kids some time to adjust to facing forward, but they both soon learned to sleep in the car again. It is a little more uncomfortable for them, because their heads fall forward. How close is Korben to being a year old? Brittany got really tall before the 12 month mark, but I kept cramming her into the carseat until her birthday and she really seemed to prefer it that way. Once he is turned around for good, though, he will probably adjust over the course of a few car trips. :)
