Babywearing Bliss

Better late than never! Babywearing Week was a week or two ago, but I finally scanned some pics. I can't wait to have another baby to wear! As I contemplate the agonizing choice about whether or not to induce lactation again, I keep thinking that at least if I can't nurse, I'll be able to keep my baby close in a sling or wrap. It's one of my favorite parts of mothering a baby!

Dallin with a doll sling. He wasn't near as into it as Mom was. (In fact, he's actually mad at me in this picture, though it doesn't look like it.)

Sariah as a tiny one in the cradle hold.

Babywearing up the canyon.

The hip carry. Dallin was actually really, really sick in this picture and ended up being hospitalized a few days later for dehydration.

Sariah in a kangaroo carry in the sling. I never could master this with Dallin, but I used it with Sariah all the time.

Sariah in the wrap with Dallin and I at the Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet. It's the only way I survived the B&G as a den leader with two kids and James not there to help. Don't we look cute?
I love babywearing!

I LOVE the pictures of Dallin wearing a 'baby'! That is so cute! These pics have not helped my baby hunger...lol

He was pretty adorable. Unfortunately, that was one of only about 2 times he let me put that little sling on him. I have higher hopes for Sariah! I think they need to see Mom wearing a baby for the doll sling to mean anything to them, and so far, that's not happening.
