With little miss Haana, I used to love wearing her in my baby carrier, keeping her close to me in a constant hug! It was perfect. I think I used my baby carrier (which was an expensive purchase at that time) till she over a year old. In fact on her 1st birthday when we went on the europe trip, I used the carrier extensively. I have pictures of us in a close hug, little miss Haana and I as we go through all day walks, visit castles and museums.
It's been over 7 years, but the carrier is back. This time for Bobby boy. I've been using it to take Bobby boy for walks around the block. I'm not entirely sure if he loves it as much as I do, sometimes he fidgets around and appears not so happy. But then, soon enough, he gives in to sweet slumber and falls asleep. I think it's the rhythm of the feet and warm embrace and he falls asleep right away. At least that's what I like to think. This also means all the neighborhood friends I run into, who lean sideways to catch a glimpse of the little baby face while still maintaining social distancing, always find him fast asleep. They must be thinking oh, such a zero maintenance baby, he's always asleep.
Well, let it be known, that's just Bobby boy's stage persona. In reality, at home, he's been barely sleeping during the day these days. Far from zero maintenance, he's been cooing and kicking; crying and wailing; pooping and feeding; and generally coming across with quite a commanding presence! And the sweet slumber he slips into while I'm walking with him in the carrier? He snaps right out of it as soon as the carrier buckle clicks open!! :-/
