Baby Wrangling -- Toby's 1 Month Birthday Present

Toby is a fussy baby. Well, he's not actually fussy -- he just likes to be moving. All the time. Whether he is asleep or awake. He also likes to be physically connected to ME. If he is not moving, and/or not physically connected to me, he is crying.

Well, that makes things like housework and homeschooling and yes, even computer work, tiring. It's awfully hard to do things with one arm all the time, and even harder to do things with a screaming, non-sleeping baby.

Thanks to the MOMYS, I was introduced to this great site: www.mamatoto.org

Well, I was skeptical, and frankly, I did not want to carry around a baby all day, hands-free or no. But after a full month of one-armed duties, I thought I would give it a try.

I bought this for $15 (Actually, it was a full-width piece of cotton/lycra t-shirt fabric, 5 meters for $30, which I split lengthwise for 2 long thinner pieces). And the 2-year-old is optional

Following the instructions for the front cross carry on www.mamatoto.org
we went from this:

To This:

in 2 minutes flat.

Here is another pic of Toby in the wrap:

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy! He LOVES it! When he is awake, he pops his little head out and looks around. When he is sleepy, he nods off and I just tuck his head in for safety and he sleeps away.

Happy 1 month birthday, TOBY!
