For Christmas, Mr. D's Mother sent us the next step up stroller for when Shelby was ready to move out of her current infant stroller. This is the stroller that we picked out.
Isn't it precious?? It's totally Shelby. We got the package and wrapped it to go under the tree. Fast forward to Sunday, December 19th. Mr D. had to work on Monday and I had plans to go shopping with Hannah (our AWESOME Nanny) and Shelby-loo-who. On Sunday, the Mr. and I started the stroller discussion- you know where we try to figure out who has the stroller in their car without actually getting up to go look. It's been too cold for her to be strolling around outside so we knew it was in one of the cars and not the garage. We determined that I did. I had used the stroller on my off day which was on December 10th. OK so I am all set to go shopping. The next morning, I got Shelbs a ready to go and we planned to pick up Hannah on the way to shopping. I load Shelby up in the car and peek in the back to make double triple sure that the stroller is there.....emptiness. Then I remember that after my off day we had put the stroller in his car to go and see Santa at the mall. The thought of hauling sweet Shelby all over town in her Baby K'tan or car seat did not sound appealing- so I decided to open the new stroller. I opened it.... attached the wheels... grabbed the owner's manual and off we went. When we picked up Hannah- I handed her the manual and told her we were going to have to figure out a way to make this work for Shelby. We got to the first stop and put her in it. Here was how she looked.
We could not figure out how to get the straps tightened or how to lay her back. With this being a European stroller, the instructions we a bit hard to understand and the diagrams were quite humorous. Anyway, Shelby thought she was tough stuff all sitting up in the big girl stroller. We tucked her blanket in tight hoping it would help to keep her safe. I hoped people wouldn't ask my why this tiny baby was in such a big stroller. It took us a little bit but we finally figured out how to tighten the straps and lean her back.
This little lady LOVES her new stroller and so do I!! Once we got it situated it was great. Now we are a two stroller family which is great!!! Thanks Linda!
The colors are a little off from the scanning. Here is the photo that we used in the card. 
She doesn't wave yet- we just got lucky catching the hand it's the way into her mouth. She was looking at her sweet Daddy and I took the picture. Here are some more cute pictures from that photo shoot.
We have it on loan from Henry-baby!
