carseat to booster

Kaitlyn has been complaining about her car seat for some time. I kept forgetting check the safety requirements because I know she is very under weight.

I finally checked today, it says 5years and 36inches. So technically, she graduated from the car seat stage already. Does this means no more toddler but a kid girl from now on?! Alright, we'll get her a booster seat.

I saw DPS still recommends car seat for up to approx. 40lbs, and she is about 34lbs (~15%tile at her age). For her record, her weight is about 15%, her height is about 50%, and BMI is about 8%. So you know how skinny she is. I gave up tracking her %tile a long time ago, because her weight has been under 25% since about one year old, even though she was a big baby at birth, 8lbs 11oz. We tried so many ways enticing her appetite, she just doesn't gain much. Fruits and pasta(with very light sauce) are her favorites. Well, as long as she is healthy, no big problem and sickness, thank goodness, I'm happy where she is!

Chung was joking about how could she gain any weight, she never walks! Yeah, I'm serious, ever since she learned walking, she barely walks, she always RUNS! It's not like she is in a hurry, she just likes runing and jumping all the time. Because of this, she fells down quite often, and I always try to hold her hand when we go out.

It's interesting this girl likes running around, but the same time, she could sit down for hour doing things she enjoys, such as drawing, reading, playing with her dolls.
