OMG baby carriers

Last night, Tim discovered that there are two things that Story loves.

*Rap Music
*Being carried around while daddy does chores.

The only problem was that daddy was having a helluva time balancing all of his chores and carrying her around. Whenever he'd put her down to go do something he needed both hands for, she'd start wailing all over again. If only there were SOME amazing invention that allowed him to carry her while doing the chores...

Tim mentioned to me that we should make sure we get a sling carrier of some sort and I was like, "UM we were given a baby bjorn type carrier from Chris and Val forever ago!" And he was like, "really? I don't remember that.." Well, just a few moments ago, Tim found it and is currently lugging Story around the house while doing some fun chores- moving dream dinners from the chest freezer into the fridge, working on laundry and who knows what else. There is no extreme wailing, no horrid crying. Sure, Story goes through phases of crying/deciding whether she likes the carrier, but nothing compared to last night.

Ok, seriously... who would have known that something so simple as a knock of baby bjorn could bring so much sanity to our little family? Damn I love this thing.

I can't wait until I'm healed enough to try it out! Oh man, just going on walks around the neighborhood would be awesome!

Vic used to be in love with the Snugli. He wouldn't let me use it. Only Vic got to use the Snugli. Sarai would lay her face on his chest and just be knocked out. It made him feel so Daddy-like.
