THAT PICTURE IS SO CUTE. I'm big on baby-wearing. I have ring slings, pouches, and a mei tai for the Helpful Baby, so I love seeing grandpa getting in on the action. It's amazing how happy babies are in slings. (Unfortunately, the Helpful Baby is getting massive now that he's really a Helpful Toddler, and it throws out my back carrying him on my hip.)<br /><br />This is just so darn precious! :)Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679381214962060855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-50700928085866517832010-04-10T09:54:16.468-04:002010-04-10T09:54:16.468-04:00Morning!

I couldn't remember Infantino for some reason — looking at a pic, it's built completely different from the Maya, more like a shoulder-mounted cradle than a sling. Mason's 7 months old now, so like you said it shouldn't be an issue.<br /><br />Thanks Reb! You might want to start from <a href="http://farmanor.blogspot.com/p/white-pickups.html" rel="nofollow">the White Pickups jump page</a>, or click the Contents link on any episode to get to the same place. Once you've begun at the beginning, there <i>should</i> be a "continued" link at the bottom of each one. Watch for the "Conversations" links too.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-43726524248378271632010-04-10T07:48:15.042-04:002010-04-10T07:48:15.042-04:00FAR, as usual, I love your posts.

I'm glad you and the Mrs. are there to take up the slack. Love is love no matter where it comes from.<br /><br />I've decided I'm going to start at the beginning and read your White Pickup posts. Stepping in in the middle is entertaining, but I always have a sense of having missed something. Hmm...like maybe the first 20 chapters??? LOL<br /><br />Thank you, once more, for a lovely, thoughtful post!Olivia J. Herrell, writing as O.J.

I think Mason is probably safe, given that he has control of his head and neck, and that was the concern - babies who couldn't, yet, turn their heads ;). <br /><br />But for the record, I wore my three youngest daughters in slings from the day they were born. I think slings more safe than that one news story would try to make us believe.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642417312794814066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-57859215920637892562010-04-09T17:53:09.496-04:002010-04-09T17:53:09.496-04:00Hey there, atfmb, welcome to the free-range insane...Hey there, atfmb, welcome to the free-range insane asylum!<br /><br />The primary hazard is when he stretches out straight, thus allowing him to slip out. He's done it a couple times, but my left arm seems to naturally fall into a good "catch" position so it isn't too hazardous. Unless he's bored, he'll just sit & chew on it. ;-)Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-5227020769210669912010-04-09T16:55:24.105-04:002010-04-09T16:55:24.105-04:00Hey there,

We didn't use it too long as babies gain weight so quickly. I can't remember what we finally did with it.boran2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10483728578007756485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-86508870057376025592010-04-06T23:29:33.057-04:002010-04-06T23:29:33.057-04:00Hi Wendy!

Back then, they had a pocket, but it wasn't zippered. The pocket was great! I stopped carrying a purse and a baby bag ;). Didn't need either one. <br /><br />Sorry you lost your laptop. My husband's computer just died and he's running down all of the possible issues. It was acting just like my old desktop did before it died and we figured out it was the "obsolescence capacitor" on the mother board. To fix the computer, we'd have to buy a whole new motherboard. Instead, I have a new laptop. He'll probably get a new laptop, too. The bonus is that we'll save money on electricity. See? Silver lining ;).Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642417312794814066noreply@blogger.com
