babywear{ing}

I love the fact of babywearing, and I need to do more of it! I have three baby carriers, each one I like for different reasons, and I would like to get maybe one more... but I need to put these three to use before I invest in another one! I usually use them to take Maggie Claire on a walk to get the mail, and yesterday I actually wore her in Target for the first time.

This is me & mags yesterday when I got home from Target with mags in the baby bjorn. It's hot pink and I got it at a consignment sale for $25 when I first found out I was having a girl! :) I really like this carrier, it's my favorite because I feel the most comfortable with MC in this one. I know she is strapped in and definitely won't slip out.

This is my moby wrap. The moby is just one very very very long, stretchy piece of fabric that you tie in different ways to carry the baby. I got this from my dear friend Carissa and I love the pretty green color that it is! The next time I got out shopping, I plan on wearing this one, because I like how warm it is and you can really snuggle that baby in there! As you can see mags likes to chew on the fabric. I had it on for about 10 minutes to test it out around the house and it was already covered with slobber. {I think we might have an early teether on our hands!} This is the only way I've tried to use this carrier, but I plan on trying out some other ways too!

The last carrier I have is this munchkin jelly bean sling. I also got this one at a consignment sale before I had MC. I've only worn it this one time when I took mags on a walk around the apartment complex. I had her all bundled up b/c it was pretty cold outside. I actually liked the way that she was sitting up in it, and I plan on wearing her more in this one too! :)

Do any of you other mommies out there have a favorite baby carrier? What other one I should be looking out to buy? I could get use to this babywearing thing... especially if it means I can always have such a cute baby like Maggie Claire snuggled close to me! :)

pack-n-play time!

Our dining room has turned into a great place for the pack-n-play to go! We rarely ever use our dining room table- we normally eat on the couch together, so I decided to see if the pack-n-play would fit in there... and viola! It fits perfect! Don't you just love how I color coordinated it too!? hehe.

I ended up turning it the other way, so Maggie Claire could look out the window better, but it works out perfect! I wanted to start training her to like the playpen, so that when she gets mobile, I can put her in there for "playpen time" while I take a shower or do other things around the house w/out her getting into everything!

Maggie Claire is enjoying some tummy time! She is doing SO MUCH better on her tummy, she loves all her toys {especially her light up ball from uncle Ron, Aunt Marla, Ryan & Morgan}!

Happy girl! She was really smiling/giggling for the camera when I was taking these!

In regards to a highchair, I'm thinking about the graco mealtime in little hoot. It's on sale at Target right now I think until february 5th. I like how it reclines, has different height adjustments, it matches our kitchen stuff, the price & I've been pleased with all of the graco stuff I have so far. :) What do you think??
