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.

There’s No Place Like Home

Friday, November 9th, 2007

We returned home last night, safe and sound. It was such an amazing trip, but I am glad to be home! The first thing we did was lavish attention on the cats, so they know how much we missed them. Since we had the pet sitter “free feed” them while we were gone, they all gained weight! Ack! So, we’re putting them on a diet for a month or so and making sure they get some extra exercise so they lose that little big of pudge. It’s just as unhealthy for a pet to be overweight as it is for a human. 😉

It was so nice to sleep in my own bed again! Though, Kevin and I both seem to still be off time-wise since we got back. We’re awake when we’re supposed to be sleepy and we’re hungry at all the wrong times. Guess we both still have that pesky little travelers thing called jet-lag.

After unpacking, I had a chance to look at the photos I took. Basically, I took over 1,000 photos. That’s an average of 100 photos per day. That’s a scary number and I am not about to torture anyone who wants to get the basics of our trip with putting that many photos up in an online album! So, I plan to sort through them and choose the 100 photos that best encapsulate our experience in Thailand.

Side note. If you sent me an email while I was away, I’ll be returning it within the next day or two. Thanks for your patience! 🙂
