S

a simply slendid

shivering

snowy

Saturday

stroll

soaking up

sunshine

and blue

skys

holes, laughs, being loud and babies

we spend a lot of time together
and we wear holes in our socks {a lot}

we pile on the couch

and laugh a lot

we hang our art on the wall

and play loud

we pile our coffee table with books and water glasses

and someone is still growing out their cut bangs

We babywear babies that aren't really babies anymore
and love our crazy life

...it was late evening in our dimly lit great room, hence the high iso...

yes they are

...babywearing

and my oh my...

does this mama think...

my 2 baby girls...

dressed in pink...

wearing their baby dolls...

is an unbelievably...

precious sight...

{wearing their pink Vincent shoes & hazelaid amber necklaces}

a story with no words...

babywearing {is}

...intimate

...happiness

...peaceful

...love

...exciting!

...relaxing

real life. real love. real babywearing.

a full day of babywearing
captured by Vance
submitted for the 2nd round of the Sakura Bloom Triathlon

oh {yes} he is

...one of those babywearing dads

he LOVES it...
and he'll totally admit it!

Not to mention it just looks plain GOOD on him! {grin}



So let's talk about Structured carriers

I LOVE these carriers!
I DO tend to grab these more than the previously mentioned ring sling
...mainly because I'm wearing TWO a lot

and because they are AWESOME for long babywearing.

They are still quick to put on

they are very secure...
which means you are REALLY hands free

they DO require some strap adjustments
but less than other carriers

they distribute the weight {very} well

...and can be worn on front or back

if dad is wearing one of the girls
...it's in the Ergo

it's comfortable
...and doesn't have a girly print! {grin}

and just because it's worth seeing again...
Tell me this doesn't make you want to go tell your hubby
that he has to try babywearing!!!

we have two {structured carriers}
An Ergo
and a Beco

Paul wears the Ergo... it is HIS carrier
although I wear it too.

But I mostly wear the Beco
...because it has a pretty design {grin}

If I am carrying both babies I usually have the beco and/or the ergo on
...it works REALLY well

and it's beautiful
and natural

and I am SO thankful I am able to wear the girls now
...although I DO still feel hurt that I missed out on wearing them in the beginning
because of my accident

but I'm really trying to make up for it! {grin}

which one should you buy?

If you can only afford ONE
{like many of us}
and your husband WILL wear it too
...I would say the Ergo for sure!

If you know your husband won't wear it
...I would say the Beco.

{Why?}

The Ergo is a bit wider and feels like more of a carrier.
Plus they have lots of gender neutral colors.

The Beco is a bit thinner
...the waist belt and main part of the carrier.
And it comes in beautiful mama prints!
{although they DO have some neutral prints}

but REALLY...
they are BOTH awesome carriers
so just pick the one you think is prettier because I KNOW
you will LOVE them both!
{I know I do!}

Now... a little something for YOU!!

I've owned an Ergo for a while now
and recently they contacted me...
asking if I wanted to share their newest product with my blog readers!

Can you guess what I said? {grin}
YES!!!

They sent me their new Infant Insert...
Heart 2 Heart

and even though I don't have an infant anymore {boo-hoo}
you can just tell by looking at the new insert that it ROCKS!

You might have heard
that Structured carriers are only good for babies
{not infants}
but not with Ergo's new Heart 2 Heart insert.

Now...
if only I had an infant to use this with....
hmmmmm

Okay
so do YOU have a little baby
AND would love to win
a new Ergo Heart 2 Heart infant insert?

Leave me a comment telling me your FAVORITE thing about babywearing!

Extra entry for twittering about it
AND an extra entry for blogging about it!

Have fun!
