“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain
Another milestone then. Joshua needed an upgrade in his car seat size to something called a Stage One.
This is what they use for bairn’s 9kg or above - usually around nine months.
