Babywearing

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

I’ve been babywearing Binary Boy since he was born. I first started with a sling, used it for about a week and decided that I didn’t really like it. Then I switched to a Mei Tai and used that for a while, but felt it wasn’t supportive enough for my back.

After doing some research and reading some blogs, I got an ERGObaby Carrier. And that is all I’ve ever used since. I am hooked! I still use it on a daily basis and especially enjoy shopping while babywearing Binary Boy. It keeps him close and I never have to worry about him if I have to leave the cart for a minute.

Ms. Babywearer herself, Stephanie, over at Adventures in Babywearing, asked for favorite babywearing photos. I only have a few, unfortunately. I will have to remedy that! However, choosing from the few that I have, here are my favorites:

I’ve removed the photos themselves, but here are the details:

  • Babywearing at the Texas State Capitol Building in Austin – March 27, 2009 – Binary Boy is 5 months old
  • Babywearing while sporting shades, June 1, 2009 – Binary Boy is just over 7 months old
  • Babywearing at Whole Foods, October 11, 2009 – Binary Boy is about two weeks away from his 1st birthday.

She has been featuring the winners of the Sakura Bloom Triathlon contest and it’s been fascinating to read about others who practice babywearing! Go take a look. Even if you’re not into babywearing, Stephanie’s writing and photos are captivating.

One Month (Already!?)

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Hello! Happy Friday to you. Sorry these posts are getting further and further apart. Will have to work on that. Unfortunately, I don’t really have time for a long post right now, either, but I wanted to write a short update, list-style and in no particular order.

Babywearing Binary Boy. He's 3 weeks old in this photo.

  • Binary Boy will be 4 weeks old on Sunday and will no longer be considered a newborn. Awww.. Where did the last month go!?
  • Even though Binary Boy can technically go out in public (ie grocery shopping) starting on Sunday, I’m going to wait another week to take him with me.
  • I am so tired… Like, all the time. I know this soon shall pass, but… I am so tired. The pic show it, too. 😐
  • He’s growing so fast. I’m not sure exactly how much he weighs now, but he’s quickly outgrowing his size “Newborn” clothing – they go up to size 8 pounds.
  • Binary Boy smiles a lot now, can hold his head up for short periods of time and is starting to make “cooing” sounds.
  • The visit from the in-laws was so much fun. I am looking forward to when they return.
  • Speaking of visiting family.. Kevin and I hope to fly out to California around the holidays next year, when Binary Boy is about a year old.
  • Love, love, love all the book suggestions from you all! Thank you!
  • I am baby wearing Binary Boy a lot during the day now in my Mei Tai baby carrier. Kevin took a photo of us last weekend while I was wearing him. Pic is above. If I look tired in the pic.. well, it’s because I am. 😛
  • I will soon be in possession of an ErgoBaby baby carrier (I purchased the organic chocolate carrier) and am so looking forward to trying it out with Binary Boy.

That’s all for now! I’m sure I forgot something, but I gotta go change and feed Binary Boy, then laundry and other chores. Hope you all are having a great Friday, too!
