Home, Sweet Home

We're home from abroad! The normally six-hour drive from Lexington to Atlanta was eight hours with John. There was a lot of screaming. Toward the end, Chris and I were quiet, grumpy, and stony faced. It really wears on a person when there's just nothing left to do but listen to the baby scream!

Last night, Grandmom and Pop-pops came over for dinner. As we had just come home the night before, the refrigerator remained bare. They were the best kind of dinner guests: they planned the meal, bought the groceries, cooked the food, and cleaned up!



Thanks for the new outfit, Grandmom!

I think I've finally mastered the hip hold in my Moby wrap and John is old enough to sit that way. This position allows me to do housework more easily than when John is on my front and it is cooler because of less fabric being wrapped around my torso. I sure do look forward to when John can be positioned on my back!


For John being on my back, I'm also looking into the Ergo baby carrier, which is much easier to get on and off than any fabric wrap and is great for older babies and children even up to age three or so.

  1. Hi Katherine,
    What a happy looking boy, I cannot believe he cried all the way home! You must have made that up, lol. Glad you are all home safe and sound! What a beautiful baby!

  2. I am a big fan of the stripey green shirt! Now that he is old enough for a hip carry, you might want to break out the maya wrap again- less fabric, easier to manipulate.

  3. Yes, isn't that green and orange shirt cute? It came with a pair of brown courderoy overalls, although those are now too warm for this weather.

    I did, in fact, just break out my Maya Wrap for some hip carrying! I just love how I move through the various baby carriers: each fits certain phases of the baby, the position, and for different chores. I find myself cycling through them all over and over.
