Dream Weaver

Gabriel has been working on cutting some teeth this past month and other than nursing the only other thing that seems to comfort him is being carried on my back. It was the perfect afternoon napping spot for him today.

Heading Out

Went out for a bit today & tried out a back carry in our Obimama Mei Tai. My BabyEtte Poncho has been the perfect cover for this Winter's babywearing excursions.

Babywearing Fall Festival Fun

We headed out to White Post Farms today for their Annual Fall Festival.

I don't know what being out with the three kids would be like if I didn't wear them. Life is so much easier. Chasing a toddler, keeping an eye on a school age child and still caring comfortably for a newborn all at once? Perfect.

Started the day with Gabriel sleeping in the ERGObaby carrier. Gabriel slept in it for the first hour or so.



Moved onto the Hotsling when feeding time was approaching. Gabriel will soon outgrow eating while in this sling but for now it works perfectly for us while walking around. I took a break & sat down while Leah and Louis played in the hay area.






Gave the stroller a try but he wasn't buying it. We've had this Graco since Leah. That is 7+ years and I refuse to buy anything else. Sure I could've gotten a really nice suped up double stroller but it would've been a waste. I use our stroller for less baby usage, more carrying stuff around. Also as a portable changing table. So this stroller right here? Perfect for the job.


For the last hour or so after Gabriel ate I wore him in the newest addition to my babywearing collection, a Baby Ette Gauze Wrap. I couldn't possibly list all the reasons why I love this wrap so much. It's comfortable, easy to manage, sturdy and absolutely beautiful. Well made product that I wish I had known about back when I had Leah and Louis. Though Louis benefits from it as well since it is perfect for wearing him on my back. Even at 30 lbs I can comfortably wear him for a decent period of time. 

Babywearing For The Win!

I am a huge advocate of babywearing. I've worn Leah and Louis for years and now do the same with Gabriel. With each child I became better educated on the different carriers and the benefits of each one. Gabriel has benefited from this growing knowledge the most. He is my first child to be worn in a wrap most days. This wrap is like wearing a big comfy t-shirt. I absolutely love it and he does too.

Happy Birthday Big Sis!

Today is Leah's 7th birthday. It's hard believe that not only is Leah 7 but that we are joined by another baby boy. We celebrated by going to one of her favorite restaurants, Bertucci's.

It was our first outing together as a family of 5 to a restaurant. Grandpa George and Grandma Ruth joined us for dinner. It was a success.

Gabriel stayed cozy and all wrapped in my Moby Wrap. He absolutely loves being worn. And it certainly makes my life easier to have free hands to do things like eat my dinner.
