The latest news is that we have finally turned Eila's car seat around to face forward. She seems to enjoy it about the same as she enjoyed the rear-facing car seat. In this new position she has a better reach of the sunshade and is close to ripping it off the window.

One of Eila's favorite activities currently is "driving" the car. She is happy to stand in the driver's seat of any car and push buttons, turn knobs, steer, and try out of the things she can reach. She still loves her toy cars as well, but they aren't quite as much fun as the real thing.

Unrelated to cars, Eila is also very interested in water - playing in the sink, bath, pool, sprinkler, water table are all great ways to pass the time. So, beware if you are near a sink and Eila is coming - you may have to spend 15-20 minutes splashing.
