Woo hoo! Sounds great!
Totally didn't wear Aiden today. I didn't even leave the house to check the mail (been raining). I didn't even cook dinner tonight - DH did (I'm about to leave for a mom's night out dinner)! Tomorrow I'll make up for it though since we have to hit up at least 2 different stores for groceries. Hopefully I'll try wrapping again tomorrow afternoon too. Only took me 15 minutes last time (on Sunday) to get a safe back carry. :lol:
Teagan has just started demanding up-downs. I think its come with her recent realization that words are a useful tool for explaining her needs/wants. Sure, they're not necessarily words I understand but she sure thinks they are. So, when we're walking and she starts yelling Do!!! Do!!! Do!!! and pointing adamantly at the ground I guess that means down?
Yes, I would definitely say so. :)
Yep, Erin! How cute though! ;)
I wore DD down for a nap today. I care for my nephew on Wednesdays, and since DD moved to one nap a day, she and her cousin are on entirely opposite nap schedules (she sleeps in the window between his two naps). When I need to put him down, I put her in front of Dora. But I can't very well leave a 10mos old baby alone while I nurse DD to sleep for a nap. So in the Ergo she went. Even with her cousin playing at our feet, she couldn't keep her eyes open. :) The Ergo ALWAYS wins! :)
So true! I wish I'd known about that when I was watching my niece last year.Quote:

So she'll get, like, 45 minutes in the stroller at 11:00 instead of a 2-3 hour nap from 12:30-3:00ish like every other day of the week. Maybe the Ergo would get her to take an afternoon snooze on those days...hmm...
Ha ha! Baby carrier naps are the greatest! DS never takes as long of a nap in one as compared to a crib, but when he's resisting a nap I'll take it over a whiny baby any day! :D
Ronin's is "mia" with arms in the air for me up or 'mummya' for Mummy up. Haven't worked out Mummyummyummy yet though :)Quote:

Might have had something to do with him lunging at the food as well.
Wendy, I definitely find with ring slings I need to have them adjusted and on me really well to be 100% comfortable. A baby trying to launch himself off certainly hinders that process. ;) Recently I've learned to go into a corner where there are little to no distractions to adjust and tighten the rails to keep him in well. Otherwise I end up constantly adjusting for awhile trying to get him right as he's wiggling around trying to make friends. lol
Haha, cute. Addy started with something kinda in between "Da" and "Dao", but has recently been enunciating "Down" pretty clearly. The "n" part is still kinda faint, but she definitely has the full "DOW" part. As for "up", that was one of her first not-at-all-babytalk words. In fact, she would overenunciate it to the point where she was spitting. "uPPPPP?!!! uPPPPP?!!!"Quote:

This is also what she uses for the "LMNOP" part of the alphabet. "Elalalalala" Hahahaha...I'm going to miss it. She used to do it for water, too--"walalala"--but one day just up and switched to "Wawa" and that was it.
(Sorry to get a little off topic :))
