Mom's New Toy

Ok, first thing's first...I know I need a haircut and some highlights - thank goodness my parents will be here next week to watch Cole while I take care of that!!!

Now, on to my new love....the sling! My friend, Rachel, has had a sling like this for awhile now and I have loved it and secretly wanted one but was not willing to pay for it. You know, the stay-at-home mom thing. Recently though two things have happened. One - Cole does not like to stay in his car seat when we are out and about and wants to be held so he can see things better and be closer to us. Two - Cole is getting too heavy for me to carry with him in the car seat but sometimes I really need to have two hands free to do things. So, after those 2 things happened I thought I could justify buying the sling...and we love it!!! Cole loves it - he can be close to me and be up so he can see everything that he wants to see and I love it because he seems lighter when he is in it and I can still use 2 hands. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone with a baby --- and you can use it until they are 40 lbs. Hopefully he will be walking next to me, holding my hand by that point though! Thanks Rachel - I owe you one!!!

I'm still trying to get my sling figured out. A friend made it for me and I'm having a few issues with it. :(

However, I absolutely love my Baby Bjorn. Drew is in it at some point every day. Makes doing things around the house so much easier.

Your sling is totally gorgeous...so glad you got one!
