I managed to get a fairly accurate read of Tristan’s weight today: 19 lbs 9 oz.

He’s coming up fast to the weight where we will have to evaluate baby equipment, specifically car seats. I’m really glad Tristan doesn’t seem to mind facing rearward in his car seat, because once he figures out he can face forward, he won’t stand for that shit anymore. Our car seat is good to 22 lbs, which means it likely won’t last the entire first year. So we will need a convertible seat, preferably one that lasts through the booster seat phase. I figure we still have a good month or two before this is an immediate issue but I suppose it’s a good idea to start getting ideas together.

Also, his head circumference is JUST shy of what’s specified on infant bike helmets. I also need to find more input on that; I’d love to take him on the bicycle but I’m not sure if I need to wait until he’s a full year old or until his head circumference is appropriate for an infant helmet. Also, I plan to invest in a bike seat pretty soon and try to find out if my folding bike is ok to put the baby on.
