Sling Baby

Alayna loves to be held...or should I say she hates to be alone! So, out of neccessity, I have learned how to use a multitude of baby carriers. We started with the traditional Baby Bjorn, but I have trouble seeing over her to get anything done. It is nice for walks, but that is about it. So, I went to a babywearing class last weekend and learned the ropes of the classic carriers from around the world. I now am a pouch sling expert! This is what a pouch sling looks like: http://www.hotslings.com/s.nl/it.I/id.7/.f in case you are curious. Everyone is fascinated when I wear it and wants to know all about it! We also have a ring sling that we have learned to use, although she doesn't like it as much and it is not as portable (bulky to pack). This is a ring sling:

It sure would be lovely to get one for Christmas, although, no one really knows I want one, so I will probably have to get it for myself (too bad I don't have time to sew!)...here is what a mei tai looks like: http://www.kozycarrier.homestead.com/
So, you can see...much more portable than that huge stroller and cozy, too!
