My new fashion

My new ambition is to figure out how to be a "baby wearing momma." Some moms make it look so easy and it definitely has an appeal for convenience.

My first attempts this weekend were somewhat successful. We first tried the sling. I swear that it doesn't fit and it perplexes me. I saw the swing in TX (with my SIL) and we both liked it. I bought one and it appears to be a one size fits thing (which is weird but I triple checked and there is no mention of size anywhere on the box, manual, or site.) When I saw it in TX the lady wearing it was much bigger than me so I have no idea what's going on. I tend to blame the "girls" for getting in the way as it doesn't seem to lay correctly across the chest area.

We thought it was going to be successful as when we first put in Kenley she looked like this...
Yes she is up a little high but we moved her down in the sling and then tried to put it on... The scene quickly turned for the worse and this is what we got...
I will have to figure out this thing. My SIL has one too and gave me a few pointers to try. I will be sure to update on "take 2."

With the unsuccessful attempt abandoned we decided to try the carrier. We had a bit more success as the position for this carrier mirrors one of her favorite cuddle/sleeping positions that we have come to call "monkey baby" given she looks like a little monkey clinging on to our chest.
She took a nice nap hanging out in front of me. It will take some time and practice to get used to wearing a baby and trying to use both hands to accomplish anything but it was a successful first try. (Please disregard her little acne...poor thing! It bothers me a lot but people keep saying its completely normal and yes she pulled her hands through later but she likes to have her hands by her face when she sleeps.)

I may try to use one of these this week when home alone but we will have to see how things go. I'll be a baby wearing momma in no time.
