Carrying Baby

In my modest opinion, every mother should have a Baby Ergo Carrier. It has been a life saver! I have had many baby carriers- the Peanut Shell, the Moby Wrap, and the Snugli. I have used the Ultimate Baby Wrap and was very close to buying the Baby Bjorn. But the Ergo is my favorite. It is comfy (thanks to the padding and waist strap), versatile (you can wear it on the front, back, and on your hip), convenient (easy to get on and off), and has a hood (to protect baby from the sun AND allow for discreet nursing). I do still prefer the Moby Wrap when the baby is very small with limited head control--but after that the Ergo and I are inseparable...and so are me and my babe.

Cat Naps

Sometimes I affectionately refer to my daughter as "Chloe: Queen of the Cat Nappers," because she wakes after about 30 minutes of sleep during the day while her brother sleeps for at least two hours. Wrestling all day with my little sweetie between her many naps, makes long periods of productivity difficult. The moment she goes to sleep I make a mad dash to get something done. So, I am very impressed and in love with Adele's ability to create such clever pictures during her daughters naps.

What do you do when your little ones are napping?
