Babywearing

I'm new to babywearing but I love it more and more every day.

I bought a newborn Mei Tai before Indy was born so that I could mainly carry him everywhere (I ended up buying a pushchair as well though as sometimes it's just easier!)

And I have recently found my local sling library so I can hire one out whenever I like.
Yesterday I brought home a Girasol Rainbow. I've not really even used a stretchy sling with Indy before so going full woven was a little bit scary. (they're harder apparently!)
But as I had bought a stretchy before and sent it back because I just didn't like it, I thought I would just jump right in at the deep end.

And.It's.Amazing.

I want to wear him in it all the time.
He looks so comfy and it's so warm too.

It does take some practice though. At the moment I can only properly wrap him if i'm looking in the mirror so I can see everything going where it should be. My Mei tai is a lot simpler to wrap so is ideal for when I'm out driving somewhere and I can do a quick wrap and get going.

I'm going to be convincing the hubs to buy me a woven before long though!

Getting Lost

I have always loved getting lost.

I moved around a lot as a child and one of the first things me and my brothers would do (after fighting over who gets which room) is we'd go and find our way around, which meany getting a little lost first!

My parents would arm us with snacks and drink and expect us home around dark and we'd be off for hours looking for local woodlands, parks and where the shops were to go get the morning paper for dad.

I've lived in Plymouth for a while now (since I was about 14) so I have discovered most places, but it's always nice when you come across a little charming area to go and get lost in.

It's not much and it was only a little detour but Indy and I find a neat little path to go and have a little walk through.
It's the little things :)
