Subaru baby

Did I mention that we have just acquired a new, very sporty Subaru? I don't have a photo of the car yet, but this is just as good. David in his new car seat. He was smiling, but stopped when he saw the camera.

The seat is adjustable/convertible and we will fit it as a backwards facing seat at first, as David is not quite big enough to go to a forward facing seat. It is very much cooler looking than the capsule. I mean in temperature terms, not in trendiness - although I guess that also fits! It does show how he is growing up. Does this count as his first "name" item? Not sure, but the straps are very stylish! I suspect that otherwise it is a fairly standard Safe & Sound car seat, but boy, are we pleased, in a hopelessly shallow way. Note that Gromit is once again in the photo for scale.

As a footnote, I have weighed David twice this week. On Tuesday at the Chemist's scales (with the visiting nurse) David weighed 6.93kgs. On Wednesday, at the Early Childhood Clinic, he weighed 7.1kgs. The variation is probably due to different scales and how much David has drunk or what he is wearing. What does seem clear is that the Doctor's scales were generous - he probably didn't weigh 7.0kgs two weeks ago. I suspect that he is working off quite a few kilojoules with all his activity.
