I can't believe that Julia is already 1 year old. I's amazing how time flies. She is growing like crazy and is learning to do so much. At her 1 year well child we found out that she is in the 78th percentile for her height, but only the 23rd for her weight. In fact, she is going to have to stay in her rear-facing car seat for awhile still because she doesn't weigh enough to be in the forward facing one. She is starting to say a lot of different words. She does a lot of imitating us, especially Ethan. She is becoming very adventurous. She has become quite the climber.
Ther is no law that says that you HAVE to turn around your kids once they turn 1. In fact the Acadamay of Pediatritions are now reccomending that kids stay rear facing until age 2 at least. Isabella was rear facing until the summer after she turned 3 and Iyla is still rear facing. The car seat is rated to 40 pounds rear facing and we feel more comfortable having them ride rear facing longer. But that is just us!
