wearing molly


so last friday, zero, molly and i went to talk to an expert "baby wearer"...baby wearing is huge these days, and basically means using a sling or carrier of some kind to tote your baby around with you.  when you go for walks you can use this rather than a stroller or, if you are home and need to get things done, you can strap them on and do your housework.  this had been in our game plan from the start, but before molly moo was even born we went out and bought slings that never really worked for us once she actually got here - bummer.   so last week we met this expert (Dacia) and she had these long strips of fabric that you wrap around yourself and the baby and voila, you're as one!  i had seen these things on other people before, but it all seemed way too complicated for me - i mean, i'm not nearly coordinated enough...but it worked!  and now i'm on board with the whole wrap thing.  and as you can see from the picture above, molly seems pretty on board too (and check out her new hat!).  watch out world, here we come!

oh, and i should mention, we have a FABULOUS baby carrier (the ErgoBaby, thanks to Auntie Becky) that we will be using in the future, but molly isn't quite big enough for it yet.
