Exciting Mail

Today I got two things in the mail I had really been looking forward to. The Gypsy Mama Lalita Wrap and a new yoga DVD. D and I went for a walk with the girls, and E wanted to go in the Ergo. So, D got to be the first to use the Lalita with L. Since the Ergo doesn't fit him, I wore E. He looked so sexy wearing baby on his back! I can't wait to use it tomorrow. I'm not feeling well tonight, so I didn't do much yoga, but I'm looking forward to doing that tomrrow too.

Secure High Back Carry

I put L in a SHBC this morning while I was working around the house. I like it a lot better than the rucksack. She fell asleep while I was doing dishes, so I tucked her head under the side.

After being sick for a week, and then that weird inconsolable crying episode, she's been pretty fussy. She gets really mad every time she poops. Or if she's playing with something and we have to take it from her. She kind of squeals and screams. She's been nursing non-stop, so I think she's going through a growing spurt. She's so close to crawling, but just can't quite do it, and it's making her so frustrated. She just wants to go!

I think wearing her more will help. I stopped wearing her as much as I used to, because its so easy to pass her off to D when he's home and then get things done. Then she's always in-arms, but always sitting down, and that's boring. Now that I have a good back carry figured out, it will be easy to just strap her on and work like I used to.

Rucksack Carry

This is the first time I've ever carried L on my back. I LOVE my Moby wrap for the front carries, but she's getting a little too big. I LOVE my Ergo for the back, but she's still too small. I really, really want a woven wrap for the back, but I decided to try the Moby. It worked, but my technic needs some fine tuning. I hardly wear her around the house anymore. Since Damien is home a lot, I just pass her off to him when I need to do something. Still, it's nice to know that I can always do a back carry with her if I need to do something when he's gone.

I held her while she slept

I held E while she slept today. She was in my arms as we shopped for at least half an hour. She smelled so good- like the fresh snow we had come in from. It's a good thing Grandma and Grandpa were there to do the actual shopping and hold L, so all I had to do was walk with her. If they hadn't been there, I would have had to figure something else out. My Ergo is in my car, which is frozen shut! I missed having it, because all 3 years and 30 pounds of her got heavy after a while. But it was nice, too. It won't be too long until she's too heavy to carry like that or not taking naps anymore. I want to enjoy every snuggle and hug. It was a great ab and back work out too!
