Trying Yet Another Baby Carrier

There certainly is a lot of hype around carrying your baby in some sort of helpful contraption, or 'babywearing' as its known. It's supposed to promote bonding and make your life easier while you can be close to your baby hands free. That being said I've been through about 4 different carriers and haven't really found one that Vince and I both like. There's a huge market out there and lots to choose from. Right now I have the Moby Wrap, the Maya Sling, the Fisher Price front carrier, and the Ergo carrier all hanging on our exercise bike like Christmas ornaments. That seems to be the only thing our exercise bike is good for these days!

A couple weeks ago I tried my friend's Ergo carrier and Vince and I both seemed to like it. Here are a few pics of Vince chilling out with me in the Ergo:

My Mommy Is a Nut

My mommy decided to try out some cloth diapers on me even though they are size medium and way too big for me! Here are some pictures of me looking like a sumo wrestler in these oversize cloth diapers

New Friend Ramona

We went to visit a college friend of Mike's who has a 6 month old daughter Ramona. Vince's other friend Aaron came too and the babies had fun together while the parents sat and had fun talking about poopy diapers and sleepless nights

Ramona Towering over Vince: I think I heard him singing "I see London, I see France, I see Ramona's....."

Vince giving Ramona some tips on what to do with her hair (he's become quite an expert with all of his)

Ramona and her boys

Ramona and Vince were very concerned about Aaron being upset

This is Ramona starting her attempt at giving Vince a kiss, it was so cute!

Weekend Visitors

My friend and co-worker Georgia came to meet Vince this weekend and brought her three children. They were very excited to each get to hold Vince and all of them did a great job with him. Tessa the oldest girl was ready to babysit for me anytime we wanted! Here are some cute pics. It was fun to see how crazy our lives will be when we have more than one child running around in this house... the kids loved our cats, who ran hiding under the bed until the coast was clear.

Vince is one month old!

Today Vince is one month old, and we can't believe how fast that month went by. It is mostly a blur as we are still pretty sleep deprived, but he's so cute that it's worth it. We are getting into a little bit more of a schedule though: Mike and I split up the times we get up in the night so at least one of us gets to sleep a bit more.

Here is a picture of Vince and Mommy celebrating his one month birthday... we pretty much celebrate everything by trying to get some sleep :)



Here are some pictures of Vince's new 'apple hat' that our friend Emily made for him. It's so cute I couldn't resist putting it on him even though it's still a little big. I think he liked having it on though
