Finally Forward Facing!

At DT's 18 month appointment, I drilled the doctor with questions. He laughed and replied to each of my "Okay, one more thing..."s with "You said one more thing three things ago!", but put on a happy face and was super polite, answering in detail each inquiry with kindness and professionalism.
Something I was very curious about his opinion of was rear-facing versus forward-facing car seats for toddlers Dane's age. After discussing the statistics and weighing the pros and cons, we came to the decision to finally flip DT's car seat to the forward-facing position. We knew it would be more pleasant for all of us - Dane Thomas would be able to see us, it would be easier to get him in and out of the car, etc. and there was very little surprise to the whole ordeal.
Nonetheless, it was an exciting transition for Mommy. =) Of course, pictures were taken to commemorate the milestone. Here's our prince in his forward facing throne.
